This whole concept of regional servers ruining the game is nonsense. First of all, I'd like to play with people I can communicate with on a very fast and efficient basis. I can't do that with the auto translate because it rarely has the phrases I want, nor does it have the ability to pick out the phrases in a timely manner.

Yoshi is giving people a choice. There will be global servers and regional servers. If you don't like being region specific, then don't pick it. Simple as that.
