Path of Exile doesn't have perma-death. There is a hardcore league, but dying simply drops your character to the softcore league (rather than deleting it).

This is incorrect. Dying drops your character to Standard league, which is a league that almost no one plays. It's mostly used for testing mechanics/interactions/bugs, etc. Hardcore PoE _is_ permadeath.

Standard isn't so much a 'league' as it is a dumping ground for all the stuff you did in past leagues

Which is effectively the same for anyone playing hardcore, because otherwise what’s the point
