I do appreciate that reality. It seems a majority of dedicated PvP players (or at least the vocal ones), NA EU and JP alike, are frustrated by GC restrictions.

What I'm trying to parse out for my understanding though, is that there seems to be an important difference:
  • JP dislikes GC restrictions because the restrictions are inconvenient and annoying. However, JP PvP is still healthy and active regardless.
  • NA dislikes GC restrictions because the perception is that the restrictions are almost breaking the entire PvP system from functioning at all (low participation, uneven and bloated queue times, and fragmented community).
