No, but at the same time I am not decrying the existence of LS-sized events because of the time zone in which I live. I understand and sympathize with Runespider's problem. I am assuming she lives in an EU time zone, and it has always been difficult to get the right group when the majority of players live in PST/EST/JP time zones. We have a few EU members in our own EST-based LS. At the same time, however, no MMO designs its events with the mindset that "oh we can't have X event because the EU players won't be able to get groups for it." If I willingly played a Korean MMO and knew the majority of its players were 12 hours ahead of me, I would not fault the game's designers for making a large-scale event not tailored to my time zone.

Ultimately, if the desire to do a particular event is there, there is the hope that EU players can find like-minded individuals via /sh or forming their own LS's. Otherwise, like Rune said, they can choose to join an NA LS, forgo the content entirely, or perhaps do the new content on weekends when work/school schedules are less restrictive.
