I think you'll get your wish, since the game's main attraction is arguably its pawns, and having co-op could detract from that.

I can see them doing a superboss co-op thing though. Like basically the online Ur Dragon but with the ability to summon other players instead of only their pawns.

The more I've thought about it the more I think I'd like dungeon-specific co-op, but only if it was master AND pawn. So you step through the big doors of a dungeon similar to Bitterblack Isle and there's maybe a special Portstone where you can summon available player/pawn combinations. This wouldn't really take away from the pawn system, since both arisens present would have their pawn with them. In fact it may deepen the bond between player and pawn if your HP was tied together or something, so if one of you dies you both die (and have to be re-summoned). Probably won't happen, but I bet it'd create a huge jump in sales if it did.
