This was my viewpoint. My old game had a lot of features and content they just removed from the game entirely if it was too inconvenient to fix. We used to be able to go between US and EU servers on PS4 like what PC could. But the method that we could do it that involved having 2 clients on the console that interacted with another helpful feature they implemented called Linkdead. Originally if you DC'd from content, you would reconnect into open world and have to be re-invited to the instance instead of just dying and respawning mid-raid. The code for linkdead that was helpful to everyone that ran pve and pvp content, also allowed for an exploit that allowed people to freeze the account wide currencies we had, and we could use EU to reset the currency values after spending them. They removed linkdead from the game entirely and it didn't return even after 5+ years, and EU server on console got made to instantly freeze/crash your console. No longer able to play with EU people like PC could. If there was a raid that was bugged or getting abused by speed hackers, they'd take it away from the menu entirely like what Square did the pvp maps. I'm used to content/features getting ripped and not having an ETA on returning.
