It will only be worse for EU players if the East and West Coast Datacenters aren't connected in any way. Playing on an East Coast server would likely see your ping be reduced by around 50-60.
Back when the servers were hosted in Montreal, my ping was at a comfortable 105-110. After the datacenter relocation to the West Coast, that increased to 165-170.

But as Remish has mentioned, if there'd be an option to travel between East and West Coast datacenters, everyone would still travel to Aether for content anyway.
