If they just abolished the package loss, I'd be fine with sticking on a Japan-based server, even if there was some minor lag.
They really only had to optimize servers well and let some reliance be on the client rather than the servers and that would eliminate a lot of problems right there, since this Atomos event is perfect example, gathering a lot of people makes the game itself unresponsive whereas in FFXI, I can function just fine even with as little as 220 people and as much as 700 (besieged), the only delay I've ever experience was the first few months which they somehow sorted out.
