    It is not only that tho, NA players are way more rude and entitled. I played for example when Eureka was still fresh on both NA and EU and well on NA NM were instantly pulled without waiting a second, on EU on the other hand people even nowdays wait for 5 sometimes even 10 minutes. On NA that kind of behavior is unthinkable. Also the shout and yell chat on NA is always used for...well random people talking about random crap. While on JP and EU literally nobody uses these two chat functions besides from the really rare advertisement for a venue or an fc. Raiding would be just the icing on top and probably really funny to watch when NA players get presented with macros...

    Sounds to me like you're letting your own biases cloud the facts. NA and EU players behave almost identically. The venue spam, the habit of shouting random dumb crap, and even preferring faster, more aggressive jank tactics over the use of the "safe" strategies typically employed by the JP player-base are all shared characteristics. There is almost no difference between these two demographics other than NA players having a tendency to be a bit more competitive.

    NA players frequently employ macros to streamline their PF runs. EU players use shout for public chat on just about every server with any real activity. I've yet to see any difference in how they approach hunts, Eureka, or Bozja either, save perhaps that the NA guys tend to move more quickly. They expect you to respond to callouts quickly, generally providing a 2-3 minute window to get from one NM or event to the next. This is a reasonable time frame.
