Yeah, so WoW has been compromised, just like all other MMO's. They key is a good logging/auditing system where you can identify it during it's infancy stages and shut it down.
At the end of the day requiring an online connection provides more security than without, so that's why they went with it. Everything gets logged into their system and they can review that data at any time for any reason.

I'm not concerned with the always on connection being DRM, I'm concerned because my connection gets lost frequently enough that it's a PITA. It's why I don't play online games. So for me, it's just irritatingly inconvenient. When I want to play my single player game, I just want to play it. The last time my connection went down was last night.

Can you get a different connection? Different vendor/provider? This was one of the reasons I used to argue against online connectivity because not everyone had stable internet connections but now days, I just don't see too many people without stable connections so I don't think it's relevant.

I have AT&T DSL and I guess I could switch to comcast cable but then I'd think of switching my Directv. I live in nowhere with not many options and 15 miles from everywhere with a lot of options. A week after I bought this house I had the phone company running tests on my lines and they said nothing was wrong but I kept getting static during calls. LOUD static. That was ten years ago. There are gremlins somewhere but I object to tearing in to my house wiring so I can play a single player video game.

dsl is the devils tool switch to comcast, also just nitpicking here, D3 has never been advertised as anyrhing other than an obline multiplayer game outside the panels of blizzcon, and the dev videos I dont even think they have exclusivly mentioned the single player part of the game

Nope. But I would stop shopping there if at any time they could decide to take their product back. Or render it useless by going out of business.
