Segregated servers in the age of globalized internet is as laughable as it gets. Not to mention inconvenient and plain obsolete.
I could say the same for forced latency issues. I'm not saying there should not be the option of global servers if you want to put up with the latency, but they should give people the option to play regional too so they don't have to deal with the awful ping, compounded by SE's awful network coders.
