The bigger issue as I see it is that JP and NA no longer work together at all (in my experience), I haven't had a JP answer an NA shout and join our group in, probably years. And I can't remember the last time a JP player actually responded to a /tell request of mine to join a group. I am (and everyone I know is) now completely ignored when I send tells to JP shouters as well.
There were communication issues when we strove to do things together, sure, but now, oftentimes, it's a complete shutout.
The only time I get to party with JP players is the friends I have from a long time ago, if they shout, I sometimes build a multicultural party, but these times are few and far between, as it is now though, JP players never accept NA into events, nor do they almost ever join NA-started events.
