Anyone want to bet that the problems, especially since they're only on NA servers are due to a THIRD PARTY and are outside of SE's immediate control?

Stop for just a moment and think about things before you just unload a cart full of whine.
Yeah, you may blindly decided to defend every decision made. Cheers for you. However you might want to take your own advice. You have to admit the lack of foresight on SE's part. Sticking two huge regions like NA, and EU on limited/less servers than JP is just asking for trouble.
