i'm just reiterating what's been said soo many times before. Just so these people don't start complaining when they're banned for using the trainer online.
The problem is not just to play online mode. The problem is that unless you turn off the internet to your computer you play online mode even if the screen you're the one to play. In addition, many players have been banned while they were in this configuration even though they were playing solo. While they were in online mode but it is still something hard to accept because they are not bored nobody and that ban extends to all games associated with their accounts.
I will not defend anyone and I understand your position on this subject but it's a shame to ban so many people indiscriminately.
@shoresofexile: Actually, I remember that burning a human effigy in a bonfire will cease direct online interaction for about an hour, while leaving the passive things (stains, messages) in place; I think. Havn't tried. Mind you, that prevents not just invasions, but co-op as well.
Edit: It does prevent invasions and Player coop, it does not prevent summoning NPCs (like Lucatiel of Mirrah), nor does it remove bloodstains and messages. It really just blocks direct interaction with other players.

It is a solution maybe.
