Why does the lockscreen need network connection to change?

I know, don't laugh at me, I don't have 3G. It's just that I don't see the point is paying $10 per month which amounts to $240 for a full 2 year contract just for a little 3G that I'll hardly use. I've never really had issues with not having 3G since I mostly downloaded my stuff on my wifi (which would be too slow on 3G anyway) at home...until now. I've just got my Lumia 720 a few days ago, and one of the biggest WHAT?!s for me is just this: the lockscreen can't update without network even when it doesn't use it. I mean, I can understand if I'm using daily Bing wallpapers, but all I'm using is the Lock Screen Changer app and the Battery app! Really? You can't update without any internet even when you don't need it?

Look at this! All this app is doing is shuffling around my pictures stored in my SD card as wallpapers...and the battery one doesn't even need anything.

Any idea why this happens and how I can work around this? :/ Like alternative apps that work?
