In my case I'm trying to defend how important it is to keep everything equal as humanly possible.
And I'm trying to defend how unimportant it is to keep everything as equal as humanly possible. Again, things don't have to be equal to be fair. Fairness is more important than equality. Over at the FFXI forums, EU, NA, JP all have different events for some things. Other things, they all have the same event. (e.g., the current event of guessing how long it will take after the next patch before people beat the new boss) Nobody complains about this over there.

We're clearly on opposite sides of a great wall. There's really no point in debating this.
