Take natural disasters as another example. Any kind of natural disaster that knocks out power in JP they pause things like housing auto-demo yet here in NA it takes several thousand people for them to do anything in the same manner.

While I want to believe it's just "Japan knows Japan problems better than other places' problems" there are some things that have made me question it. I think the mass amounts of nonsense that happens in the NA community has led them to start ignoring a lot of what we post/say about things.
My question wasn't why would they be more likely to address it on JP servers than NA. Clearly SE practices bias toward their JP player base despite all of us paying the same subscription (look at the greater number of worlds for JP players despite lower active population and how that impacts house availability for JP compared to NA).

My question was how would they be able to address it any better? VPN are extremely common these days when one wants to mask identifying factors and it's quick and easy to make throwaway trial accounts. Assuming SE would go to additional lengths to get the assistance of law enforcement in obtaining the real world identity of the individual responsible (which I doubt over something players can easily handle on an individual basis through blacklist), they're still going to be tied up by whatever the legal system is where that individual resides and whether or not that legal system would consider the individual's actions a crime.

So again how could SE address it any better if it was happening on the JP servers instead of the NA servers? They're still up against trying to identify the individual responsible then getting assistance from law enforcement to stop that individual's activities.
