By the same connection, I mean everyone I've invited to my lan party. It's still my internet connection we'd all be using. It's a bottleneck at the ISP, not at battle.net.
As games get more sophisticated, their bandwidth requirements get higher, NEVER lower.
The idea of a lan is to be in the same room with the players you are playing against. All the people stating they get no lag on battle.net have never had 8 simultaneous connections from the same gateway.
Who cares if you, as one player connected get no lag. It's irrelevant. If I want to have friends over for a night of networking, we are all going to be using the exact same connection, which will create lag.
Lanning up is about being able to shit talk to someone's face, and that's exactly what they are taking away.
It prevents piracy. What they don't understand is, taking things from the gamer doesn't work. It's never worked and it never will work.
I really only wanted it for the campaign, and normally I support Blizzard regardless of if I plan to go online or not, but now, I think I'm not going to buy this.

You ever have eight people connect out to a server from the same connection? I'm thinking no.

How do you guys feel about this?
I for one think it's a terrible idea as some of the most fun I've ever had was getting three or four friends together for LAN parties.
