And I thought I was the odd ball playing HC. Almost got to lv 95, decided to unload goods into stock char, went into the portal with stock char, died at money land, sad, frustrated, bring 95, died at hydra pool, swear will never play that cursed game never again, new char in 20 minutes. Anyone understand?
Disagree. I play a lot of games just for the achievements, so I can compare to my friend's achievements. A lot of the time I'm forced to play a game way, WAY past the point where it's fun in order to get the achievements.
Being bug/hack free REQUIRES always online.
You missed the point completely. There is no bug/hack free...always online or not.

Can you please show me how to dupe items world of warcraft?
Oh that's right, you can't. I wonder if that has anything to do with world of warcraft being online only? Hmm...
Bots are all over the place. Speed hacks pop up all the time too.
Maybe you didn't hear me. I asked if you could dupe items in world of warcraft. Your response has nothing to do with duping.
his statement was about bugs/hacks, not just item duping

Maybe you didnt' read the post you replied to. Or if you think only dupes are "bugs/hacks" then I really don't have anything further to discuss with you.
It has everything to do with it. It's inevitable that a game will have some bugs, and some of those bugs will be exploitable. That is okay, because they can patch those bugs and fix the exploits, possibly even roll-back characters if necessary.
If you can play without connecting and patching, than cheaters can just play without patching to the latest version that fixes the exploits.
There's no need for me to go back a page/day in the thread to address the post I originally responded to. You cherry picked one point to try and prove your argument.
Your duped wow items response to tedrodai was wrong (due to the items I pointed out) no matter what you're post from yesterday might have said. tedrodai was correct.
There is no such thing as a bug/hack free game. Online or offline. You're whole premise is based on a "well, its possible" line of reasoning.
With Blizzard using the client/server model requiring online, they are able to apply hotfixes without needing to patch the client. This goes a long way to combating bugs/hacks.
Not all blizzard hotfixes can be done solely server side. Yes it does help, but the original point still stands. There is no "hack free".
Cherry picked? What do you think tedrodai's post was? He pulled one line of of my post which was part of a whole line of reasoning, and choose to respond to that one line in isolation. If it's cherry picking to go back and pull the original post this whole tangent came from, than I am indeed a cherry picker. If you aren't interesting in having a discussion but would rather simply attack one statement taken out of context, I think it's rather hypocritical for you to call anyone else a cherry picker.
You are being pedantic. WoW is largely hack free. Most people would say it is hack free. Fact is, occasionally a hack is discovered, abused, and patched. Those that abused it are banned, and ill-gained items or gold are rolled back. While the hack existed briefly, the game returns to it's hack-free state soon after.
Can a game be 100% hack free always forever 100% of the time? Maybe not. But can a game be hack-free in all useful meanings of the words? Yes. But only if it's an always-online required game. Thus my statement.
The difference in what we want to discuss is that you think online "might" get rid of all hacking.
Not all blizzard hotfixes can be done solely server side. Yes it does help, but the original point still stands. There is no "hack free".
dumbest comment of....forever!
games are to be played for fun. when it's not fun, why play?
I know someone who buys games SOLELY to get achievement points. Even if he doesn't like the game. He will play one game until he gets 1000/1000, then start the next one. He has a huge collection of games, many of which haven't even been opened.
I don't understand at all. Once in a while I'll do something specifically for an achievement if it isn't too time consuming. But I don't give a shit about grinding achievements.
