Once the progress bar for the stage is completed, it doesn't matter how many crafters are turning in collectables. Everything is waiting on the timer.

Servers came up for JP prime time so they had plenty of crafters on hand to push progress right away. EU progress was steady at first since servers came up during EU mid morning hours then surged forward when their prime time hit.

It was dead of the morning in NA when servers came up so very few players online then and not that many more were coming online during the midday hours. We managed to get our progress bars completed before or just as our prime time was starting but it was slow due to fewer players in general online.

NA's status has nothing to do with a general lack of crafters and much to do with the timing of when the content became available. If the servers had come online at 8pm Eastern instead of 5am, you can be sure that our progress would be much farther than it is right now while JP and EU would have been the ones appearing to lag behind.
