    I'm sorry to jump on you so, but... I'm afraid you're talking out of your bottom in this case, operating on understandable logic though you seem to be. Changes to servers' physical locations are something they are merely considering for the future, not a part of the current plan. The present language-based server plans are.. presumably at least, for communication and the slight increase in playability might come from players lagging a little less dissimilarly to one another, but no less across the board. At the present moment, they are focusing on latency minimisation without moving the servers.

    Here:

    ... We might not necesserarily remove servers from Japan, there could be other areas in the network route. We will continue to look into this issue.

    So far, from what we’ve seen, the data we found out really varies from player to player’s environment, depending on the environment, some people may be experiencing terrible lag problems but some people are fine so we really want more information as we look into it.

    Now, on that, I think I can agree with you.
