Offline Mode? Why or Why Not

I like the idea but don't know if their is anything holding this back ie cheating, duping, etc. What do you think?
It's a free2play game the whole conceopt of f2p games is based off of them being online.
I recall someone saying that the game was built around the use of servers, and that having an offline mode would make it easier to hack, because people would need access to the full game code to run it off their machines.

I don't know the details, though, sorry.

I would like an offline mode, but I can live without it. >_>;

Please explain, why do they have to be online? If you can still buy micro-transactions whats the difference?

it's free....

why do people complain about even the free stuff?
I play games... shocked, i know.

It's basically the same reason why offline version would make hacking a lot easier, an offline version simply means storing all the game information client sided would be incredibly easy to get stash tabs and other stuff by simply modifying the game files.

I'm not seeing anyone complaining in here
The developers have spent 6 years making this game, why would they make it Offline so that everyone could dupe, hack, mod and mess up their creation? PoE is their work of art and they will protect the integrity and vision they have for the game.

If someone wants to play alone, why not?
As long as you don't let people from offline mode to join online games (else hacks and stuff will mess up badly).
