Actually, I think the CRC stuff should be optional... so people who want to play online without greifers can do so (remember how many people wined about this in DS1?). People who don't want the CRC should be able to easily turn it off (but non-CRC players couldn't enter CRC-only MP games...). That's the way it SHOULD work... IMO.

They also need a better MP matchmaking service lobby interface. Having to connect to someone's hosted game before entering chat is simply insane. There should be in-game chat areas where you can find like minded players before creating a game (reference battle.net). This is where GPG really screwed up DS2's longevity (in addition to the linear map design not being MP friendly). It's hard to build a community when there are no big MP numbers.
