But I will say using the words "But NA just refuses to be normal" comes off like a way to start a hate thread to me. It could have been worded differently such as "What makes NA play so differently compared to other regions?". That's just my opinion and if you don't agree then that's fine. Not gonna ruin my day.
I wont call NA 'Abnormal' but i will say it has the highest density of casual players in any region.

That straight up affects everything to do with actual gameplay, Raiding was a nightmare for the 7 months i played on Seraph, and i will never go back again.

How a community cannot decide on a single strategy and use 300 different variations of something simply just to make it their own, is beyond me.
There were so many groups saying 'JP Strats' but then changing them to make the strats harder than they were originally just to be different.

It's Chaos, that is the only word i have to describe playing on NA.

It's not a bad thing for day to day stuff, but it's a terrible experience in the higher end gameplay.
