No it's not just active PF. This allow allows NA and EU to play together especially if they have friends or form statics. You have room to play with more players especially if you play while NA is not on peak times. Some people not willing to go to Oceania because of ping issues too.

I still don't understand how aether being the sole active raiding dc affects opening up EU and NA travel either; this is not going to magically kill EU or vice versa. it really just accommodates players who wanna play with others in in EU or NA or vice versa. Doubt this affects the majority.
