Just like with Diablo 3 I was not looking forward to the whole online required play model. I don't like when they take the choice to play how you want away. I don't play this type of game with other people so forcing the downsides of online upon me is very annoying. I'm already getting issues with the servers and problems not being able to hop over to empty cities, etc stemming from the server problems. You can't have crappy, cheap servers if you want to force people to play online.
