Changing WoW to play like a survival game would be infinitely better than hardcore. Being able to loot other players in PvP and running back to your body to get your gear before it despawns. Eating and drinking to stay alive. Hot and cold mechanics. Now that is true “hardcore” and a hell of a lot more interesting than solo grind mobs bellow your level 24/7

They always moved away from that, ie, hunters no longer having to feed pets.
It makes the most logic move. Though they are slow to get on trends. Survival games have been more popular than MMOs for years. WoW could have just made the basic Survival rule set and done. One pve and pvp server to start and see how it goes. Just imagine having to stop in cold areas or middle of the night to warm up by a fire and chatting with some randos. Would be great.

Thats a completely different game.
Why not just change it into an FPS? Or how about a battle royal?
Actually, I might be mis remembering but I think in beta wow back in 2003 you did have to eat to stay alive?
Actually it is just a ruleset. Just like “hardcore” which is too easy and boring.
I did a post before about HC no permadead.
The rules were, Dead = you lose your equiped ítems, maybe You can lock 1 of your trinkets because of trinkets from quest.
1 life per day.
And after You are dead, You “go to bed” because You Will be resurrected in the next reset. This should make the people playing alts frequentely.
Bgs with only 1 life with this system. Allow wpvp but you can stay unflagged.
This is way more directed to a PvP hc world ofc. Since we are not going to have pvp in perma dead.

Without Blizard intervention, which is absolutely unlikely here, you’ll never be able to achieve looting other players. However, for the rest…
Just as Harcore is a community challenge, feel tree to make this one too. I’m sure you could get/make a mod that would enable this, requiring you to eat/drink to maintain bars and if you let them get to zero, you die. Especially if you made it so the mod only let you use foods that you made yourself with the cooking skill. I bet you could even build into it the capability to track which zone you’re in for heat/cold levels, which can then be offset by certain armor sets.
It’d be a good bit of work, but nothing is stopping anybody from making that right now. Honestly, it sounds fun
