It's no more segregation than all other regionalization that exists in the world of video games.

There is nothing wrong with region specific events. You can use demon words like segregation all you want, but I really don't see the harm in this. This isn't the early to mid 1900s and people aren't being directly indirectly punished by this.

on't try and sugar coat this it's obvious that other regions don't get the same quality or respect as the Japanese player base.

In respect to events, I'm sorry but I don't agree. You and others are really getting panties bunched up for no good reason on this. Is a JP forum event telling people to find a certain spot in the game really a "higher quality" event than the more creativity-oriented events we've had in the past? Check out some of the awesome cakes, images, etc that people have created for NA contests in the past. The JP forum event was very static and uninspired by comparison. The only reason people are whining is because it involved doing something in the game. That doesn't automatically make it a superior event. When I consider this, I do not see NA players getting inferior forum events to the JP players and see no justification for the accusations of favoritism.

(Note that this is specifically in regards to the issue of this thread- There are other topic areas where I feel like there may actually be an issue like this)
People read way too dang far into things these days.

With all do respect you missed the point entirely. I quoted when you said something about us getting our own events and rewards so everything is fine. The whole point is equality, everyone pays for this game even if they don't care about doing the special events they should have equal access. The damage control post takes a big dump on fairness by trying to candy coat things. This alone provided enough to prove a point. Based on the comment above where you think "People read way too dang far into things these days.", why did you even bother posting a response? It's simple ether you don't care about it or you do care.

Alhanelem, you seem like a reasonable intelligent person. You may not realize it but your first comment supports a passive aggressive/damage control of a type that defends unfairness. It is an insult to the intelligence of people who see things in a different perspective based on past experiences.

I don't remember that in the EULA I agreed to when I signed up to the game. If it was there, then maybe you'd have a case.

What does the EULA have to do with this, I didn't mention legal obligations. I said "Should" I didn't say "is obligated." That makes a lot of difference don't you think? There's nothing wrong with someone having an opinion about making things equal in a moral sense. The problem is when someone who doesn't care plays devils advocate to candy coat an issue.

I did mention that everyone pays to play. In my opinion everyone who pays "should" be treated equally. It's true this company isn't obligated legally. They can easily cancel FFXI tomorrow and the players couldn't do much about it except, maybe request a small refund.

I'm simply trying to point out there have been a few concerns of bias in the past on these forums. A select few are constantly defending/making excuses in defense of backward thinking. In this case I assume people can understand that if it's such minor event why not give everyone the same opportunity in good faith?

See where I'm going here?
