I know the individual gamer is of no value to a conglomerate like Blizzard, and if I thought for a second voicing my concerns to them would make any difference in the issues I raise ... I would certainly not waste your time here, I'd be posting to them in a nicely worded letter.
I am almost of the thought to petition Blizzard for the right as an individual consumer, who has little to no interest in the co-op side of the gamer-sphere ... let alone an AH that may use Real Cash™ for digital items ... to give me a crack to allow for off-line play, and I will gladly sign in once a month to remind them I exist and I am still playing their game alah the SCII methodology.
This would solve my issue of having stupidly numbered errors pop up when I should be slaying monsters and reliving a story I can't change my way out of ... etc et al.
*sigh* Whiney and not playing because yet again Blizzard is having issues ...

I never want to play co-op... I want to kill monsters by myself.
Every time you start there is a moment of anxiety because you know the server might be busy with an upgrade or you have to download a mandatory patch. Never mind that it kicks you out instantly if there is a problem.
I think they are criminals and should be sued.

Why does Blizzard insist on making me sign onto their servers ... seriously. ? !

It's to stop "pirates." And by "pirates," I mean, "people who play used games." *NM*

Close... it's for control, for a variety of reasons. "piracy" and the used game market are the tip

Stuff like D3's always-on DRM and phone home schemes in no way contribute to that future.
