So many players do such a terrible job maintaining their pawn's inclination, skills, and equipment that sometimes the offline pawns are more useful; offline pawns are definitely easier to find, and they come/go quicker than online pawns, so they are faster to search through. I would rather have a generic pawn with no inclination than a bunch of Guardians, Pioneers, Acquisitors, or Medicants without healing spells.

As said before: players should also practice fighting the Ur-Dragon offline before attempting the on-line version. I have often disconnected my console when farming items so that I don't have to wait for the server to access/update after every time I rest; it's a lot faster.

Offline play has many merits in many circumstances for many games ... and, you know, not everyone has an internet connection, and plenty of people have slow/unreliable connections which are unsuitable for gaming.
