"Internally I don't think [always-on DRM] ever actually came up when we talked about how we want connections to operate. Things that came up were always around the feature-set, the sanctity of the actual game systems like your characters," said Bridenbecker. "You're guaranteeing that there are no hacks, no dupes. All of these things were points of discussion, but the whole copy protection, piracy thing, that's not really entering into why we want to do it."

blizz make it sound promising like if they enforce DRM there will be no hack, dupe, bot...
come on, look at the current D2 bnet, dominated by bots farming elites & runes. even in the realm lobby is flooded by spambots selling items for cash.
also not to forget infamous SOJ duping glitch?
Always-online DRM will ensure no hacks, dupes, bots huh? LOL
and they did admit, the purpose of DRM is not because of piracy, but to provide a fair gameplay among the players?
so whats the point for forcing the single player mode to go DRM? to provide a fair gameplay comparing to who? myself?
yes, in mmo it is best to enforce such rules to protect the other players, no botting, duping etc.
in single player? what makes te different if i have a lvl10 char with 2 soj? (soj is min lvl29) how unfair would it be?? to the 1st boss blood raven in bloodmoor?

now, they are so concerned making it always-online to protect DRM (DIGITAL RIGHTS MANAGEMENT), ensuring no hacking.
yet, they would care less about piracy, copy protect. since when piracy isnt one of the the biggest threat against DRM (not only to pc games, also DVD, music album, softwares, the whole digital media industry) if they can live with piracy while talking about DRM, what makes duping an ingame item a DRM concern? damn, what a bullshit.
