    I think the biggest problem is that NA and EU have a much, much smaller Eureka pool to pick from. 18.6% of JP players had cleared Pyros but only 5.8% of NA has cleared. That's a dramatic decrease in the available players to pick from.



    JP has about 41,000 people running around Eureka from while NA has about 15,000, give or take people who just aren't interested or . Something else to remember is that people in NA and EU just... don't do content the same way JP players do. It's a well known fact that more JP players will try everything the game has to offer while less of NA does. The Aether BA discord has only around 2,200 members. While this isn't everyone who wants to do BA on Aether, I would wager it is most of them. That's only about 15% of the original 5.8% of players that cleared through Pyros.

    Not to mention that the overall skill level of NA and EU is much lower than JP. Most people can barely coordinate in Orbonne, much less Baldesion. Less than average players more than likely do need help in BA with callouts, which is why Discord may be preferable for them.
