For the exact same reason as players who live in NA who chose a server flagged as 'EU'? Back when it was well known that the 'EU' was nothing more than a label, a lot of people went to 'NA' servers instead to join existing communities; several of the big servers have substantial fame online. Players who are in NA and chose to play on an EU server which has now moved so it's actually located in EU are being treated as though their deliberate error is more important than a European player in the reverse of the same situation. That's simply not fair.

While it is true that people with a bad connection before still have an equally bad connection now and haven't technically lost anything, I think it's perfectly reasonable to question why people are expecting EU customers to pick their servers according to the label and not NA customers. It's a blatant double standard.

(Disclaimer: I have no horse in this race as I am on a JP server by choice. I'm simply objecting to the assumption that EU players aren't allowed to make mistakes while NA players are.)
