You stated this specifically:

I do find it laughable that people are threatening to quit over not playing with people they already can't communicate effectively with (in 99% of cases)
You essentially said the ones threatening to quit weren't even able to communicate with people of other regions to begin with, thus you find it laughable when if anyone quits because they'll lose friends they play with from other regions, chances are they can communicate with them, so it's not "99% of the cases" when no one would quit over not being able to play with people they can't even communicate with lol.

Like others have said, when you connect to XI from the US, for example in CA, you're actually connecting to a data center and not directly to Japan.
