I know how you feel. This is another tally mark in my growing dread of Diablo III. Their recent explanation is that it's that to them, it's always been a multiplayer game and you're missing out on the trading and the cooperative experience. And the PKing, and the rush begging and the "wug/wuw4it?". Unfortunately, they won't read that here, but the Hive called the Diablo 3 forums are an easy bunch to agitate if you don't agree with the populist opinion. And it's populist to regard it as a multiplayer game that's not being played right if it's not being played online. :(

I guess you'll have to wait for an offline mod. I suspect it won't take long.
