So yeah, removal of hard-queueing for DF extremes in general won't happen cause that'll be screwing over how JP does things. However if they could do it by region where JP can still have hard queues and NA doesn't, that could be a compromise.
Regional differences like that seem unlikely. I think it would be better to try and get them to put more signs in the game pointing to PF for practicing content beyond the normal level.
