And even below that, people are getting screwed if they move within their own region. Changed country within EU? Sucks to be you, start a new account because you can’t update country of address.
exactly, I moved within NA region, and I refuse to dump $60+ and 20,000 playtime hours lost to change my address. If they can't even transfer a character to a new region account because of this predicament (ie in cases like Aus having to register in EU), then I don't even know what to say. That feels very bare minimum, but I don't play any other region locked games to know if account transfer in this scenario is a thing.

Thanks for confirming!
