Yeah you should be mad. At yourself. If you are that against always being online, you should not have purchased it. Your money spent speaks way louder than any amount of your message board QQing ever will.

Another guy who actually knows what logic is.

It said that internet connection was required right on the box guys. You can't argue against terms that you legitimately accepted of your own free will. You can only complain about the online only requirement if you have not yet purchased because of it.

We aren't arguing the terms of being online, we are online now. Blizzard of course isn't online.....again. I don't think its that unreasonable to expect the game to work without the servers going to down for hours at a time on almost a daily basis.

One thing is being required to be online to play the game.

The other is being unable to play the game so many times for so long. And this, sir, the box didn't say.

Rights? WTF are you people even talking about? LOL Blizzard is taking away your rights, ok bud.... this is why I can't take you people seriously. You guys literally have no clue what you are talking about.

I don't work for Blizzard I just understand. Welcome to the real world? Blizzard wants to make more money. That is the purpose of a business ( generally speaking ). If they can 1. secure their product 2. expose more people to RMAH by making this online only, then why wouldn't they? People talk about "morals" and "ethics" haha you are just pulling that straight out of where the sun don't shine.

And why is everyone throwing around the word "entitled" do any of you know what it means? So what I get from this thread is that people who support Blizzard are entitled and people who are against DRM are entitled. I guess it is just a widespread problem?

Most of you have no clue how to make a solid arguement and it's pathetic. I am not mad, I am just bored. You know what I did while servers are down? I made a plate of nachos and watched south park. I had an iced tea from Starbucks. I hung out with an actual person. Then I trolled stupid users on gamefaqs who think they are "entitled" to use Diablo 3 as they see fit, without knowing what a gaming license is or even how to use the word entitled.

Do they like you to swallow? Or is it cool with them if you just spit?

Ah, I'm sorry. They just spray all over your face, then?

I'm not sure how this corporate whoring thing works, you see. How much did you make for selling your thoughts and opinions?

I'm kind of disappointed that as a Sage, you can't even make a single valid point.

Every game that has to remain connected to a server will have to be taken down for maintenance. The box saying that an internet connection is required to play implies this. User ignorance is not Blizzard's problem.

Neither are server side hacks it seems.

"Blizzard took their personal problem and made it EVERYBODY's problem."

Because it is everybody's problem. When you have hacks/dupes/cheats coming onto BNet then you have a ruined economy, a worse outbreak than now because people do not even need to be logged into your account to make you drop items, and so on and so forth. D2 had this so bad that they had to make a Diablo Clone in order to battle the ridiculous number of duped SOJs there were floating around at the time.

DRM is a necessary evil. If you cannot see that, then you need eye drops.

With the immense popularity of Blizzard games as it was, coupled with how much more popular they've become due to WoW, you release D3 in a D2 format then you just released hacker haven.

D1/D2 have become absolute jokes now because of this. Go on, please, I would like for you to play D1 without seeing someone with broken stats come in and either kill every challenge in that game within seconds or kill you in a thought. Play D2 and see items that were traded/given disappear after logging from the game or having your screen annihilated by bots every minute, on the minute.

And I'm telling you this as someone that went in wanting to hate D3 and in some ways, still do. When you use, "BUT I PAID MONEY" then you can use that as a device for anything your beady little eyes wants. There comes a time where you as a player has to not be a complete and utter lemming and instead see that we're not living in 1993 and that the world of video-games has changed.

The sad part is, people will always ignore the truth in these posts because we do not have a video up on a website for half-assed journalism and pictures of excrement to toss around and still expect to be taken seriously.

Gamers these days are absolute, revolting jokers.

'cause huge rants voicing your complaints about the people voicing their complaints is soooo much more useful and intelligent.

Oh... wait...

I like how you ignored the parts of his post that were actually factual and instead just focused on the parts that were his opinion. Nice selectivity you have with what you respond to.

Oh, you mean the apologist excuse making?

I like how you missed my simple point - that no one here is being anymore constructive than anyone else. That said, griping about now having access to a product you bought and paid for make a lot more sense than griping about people griping.

People here seem to think this was needed to stop those awful pirates.

Tell me, was the game not pirated already?

TIL that disliking one aspect of a product you purchased and voicing your opinion about it makes you a moron.
