I believe it doesn't

This is one thing we don't know for sure though. If all the online features are for playing with other players than you are definitely right. But since from what they've said I understand the world will be constantly changing and that cannot be done with out being connected to their servers. Now I'm not necessarily arguing that doesn't make it DRM, but it does mean it's more than just keeping you connected just so they can prevent pirating or whatever.
"more than" does not equal "not".When a developer and a publisher agree on implementing a feature, they may have very different reasons for doing so.
Which is why I said I'm not necessarily arguing that :)
