If you want to blame anyone, I believe about 300k people answered the survey when it was given...You can blame the 95% majority of them saying "That's a great idea!" if you want...But, it's here to stay so, your entire argument is invalidated, regardless...It's a moot point.

There seems to be a breakdown in communication somewhere...

If there was an offline single player, the offline characters would not have a RMAH. The RMAH would be online only, for battle.net characters. Thus hacked single player items would not be able to make it onto the online auction house, and wouldn't dilute the experience for online players. The RMAH isn't a valid argument against having no offline mode.

How does temporal knowledge affect whether something is bad or not? If something is bad, it is still bad whether or not you had prior knowledge of the event occuring.

I guess it depends on what you consider bad. Do you feel the game is bad? The company is bad? The DRM is bad?

Either way, I don't feel your specific analogy quite aligns with the point I was trying to make earlier. I was speaking of people's expectations. Not quite the same.

I'm not using that as an argument at all. That's my opinion. Just making a simple statement.

Yes but, this isn't going to happen so, you might as well give up on it.

My point is that, you want offline, well, it's more than likely not happening...They want full interaction with the RMAH.

I understand your argument and I don't disagree but, there's a measure of reality that needs to be taken into account here and in this measure of reality, having been involved with the game this long, I don't see them allowing off-line.

As Blameless just added, it's a revenue stream as well as a community choice...

You also have to realize that as of right now, a good 70% of your game is actually on the cloud, not in your HD so, that would be another reason.

How about this: If you are understanding, patient and willing to accept that things might not go perfectly immediately after release do as I did. Purchase it pre-release and if you have some network issues go "Oh....well I'm not surprised. This IS the most anticipated game in years. I expect some hiccups"
If you, however, expect it to work absolutely perfectly the moment you launch the game for the first time, do what most well educated consumers do. Wait. That's what we do with computer components isn't it? We wait till they are reviewed. Wait to see what issues can be ironed out and then make an educated purchase based off of intelligent reviews and research.
I don't see why this concept that we so often apply to hardware purchases can't be intelligently applied to software as well.
rolleyes.gif

You shouldn't expect software you purchased to work "perfectly" at launch.
But it is not unreasonable to expect it to at least function.

This isn't like a new GPU that doesn't handle a higher clock speed very well or a stick of RAM that can't take a change in voltage without a BSOD due to design choices. This is more like that new GPU or DIMM that doesn't work... out of the box... BSOD or doesn't work at all, due to the design choices made at Blizzard. It's a defective product. Software should be held to the same standards as a physical product and should at the very least function as advertised out of the box on day one. Not the other way around.
Stop defending a companies practices of exploiting their consumer base with terrible service. It isn't acceptable in your job it's not acceptable in someone else's.

Like it or not Blizzard has betrayed consumer confidence when they demonstrated the online system which is required for the game to work cannot handle the amount of traffic their pre-sales/pre-order figures would have shown.

Once again I encourage you to file a complaint with the BBB.
Link below
Be polite and concise above all else.
You would actually be surprised at what you can accomplish when you lay out your complaints in a fair and rational manner.

I'm being as sarcastic as humanly possible btw.

They were being greedy and stripping features so the consumer was the victim. This could have NEVER happened with Diablo 2, but them forcing DRM to "stop piracy" and "provide security" is what caused all these problems. They want to make money off our labor by taxing the RMAH because they gave up fighting against Chinese farmers. Yet they claim that DRM will works? So they are even inconsistent and say DRM will fix things, but we cant beat Chinese farmers so lets just profit off them and our consumers.

I dont care if you are trolling or sarcastic because there are actualy people who are as stupid as you project to be, or actually are and they need to hear this. Gaming is getting strip mined and pillaged by stockholders and we are all gonna be drowning in a sea of map packs.


The accumulated filth of all their DRM and map packs will foam up about their waists and all the casuals and apathetic will look up and shout "Save us!"... and I'll look down and whisper "No."

Those people don't deserve to play D3.

But how do you play the game if the connection keeps cutting out?

That's going to affect a person's opinion of the game - same as if you had a car and every 2/3 km/m it cut out and needed to be restarted

I don't disagree, but this is beside the point.

A real-money auction house would not be hurt, at least not from the player's perspective, by the existence of an offline game component.
