So please be careful in the discussion.

I cleaned up a number of the posts in question. Please keep the discussion on topic so that this thread does not need to be locked.

Racism aside, the dev team through Yoshi-P opened that can of worms by attempting to put language/region specific servers on the table. While some issues come up organically by themselves sometimes it's better not to kick the sleeping tiger.

To use an example of not bringing issues to light unecessarily... It's like the American debt ceiling "crisis"... If they had just quietly dealt with it as they have done for the last several times the issue came up without saying a word about it nobody would have said a thing and life would continue none the wiser. However, they chose to turn it into a shit-show of the highest order, and now it's an issue front and center for the entire world to complain about and doom and gloom over whereas before it was maybe a background grievance (at most) that few people just grumbled about (if they turned their mind to it at all) and then got on with their day.

SE should have just kept their mouth shut and left the way they organize their servers status quo. While a small fringe group would invariably continue to gripe about it, those people would continue to play the game anyhow as they did in FFXI and the world would go on with most people never turning their mind to the issue at all. Now... it's an issue. gg.
