FromSoftware may have been gone to far with Dark Souls ..... There might be something to whine about in regards to Online.

I think this has to do with the way the servers were set up and not a deliberate choice by the developers. For me personally it doesn't really matter since I don't really play with anyone regularly but I can see it being annoying to some people and I would prefer they fix it.
