The parable of the Rabbi and the goat

Is it really that important?

Game works the same. Resets occur at a different time. So what. I'm a European player and I'm already used to this, and trust me, it's not a problem. You have to adapt slightly, and then, you will notice... It doesn't matter.

So what, now they schedule more times of x2 so everyone can have their chance? Well where's the problem in that? Do you really think they'll have different times for the events just for that? No. It'll be the same, PLUS whatever else they add to accomodate UTC players.

Jesus, it's like people spend 24 hours playing the game and can't get used to a silly change...

From the many, many years of this game being out, the vast majority of unscheduled maintenances occur during the middle of the day to the evening in the United states. With reset now being at the time frame that it is, it can really screw over a lot of people in regards to daily activities and attendances/events, etc. Yeah, it screwed people over previously, but this will affect people in much larger quantities.

That aside, this is EMS merging with GMS - why should our clocks be forced to be changed rather than theirs? Not to mention this also affects other in game daily events such as invasions, which many can no longer even participate in because of the different times.

It has nothing to do with how much or how little someone plays.
