The parable of the Rabbi and the goat

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...

The problem is that they didn't reschedule anything.

As I wrote in the post directly above yours, everything still runs at the same server-time it always did, but now that time makes no sense.
Flag Race, Kritias Invasion, calling Orchid for her chair, Moon Bunny event mini-games, all run at times American players can't participate.
What makes you think they've scheduled more 2x?
About the only thing that's become more convenient (to Americans) is the Yu Garden blackmarket, which used to (intentionally) only appear late at night, and now appears in the middle of the day.

Even if they reschedule everything, it's still a lot more natural to be able to play normally, go to sleep, and wake up to a new game-day, instead of having to remember that reset happens in the middle of the day and plan your activities accordingly. I know it's possible, I'm in Israel and the GMS reset used to be at 10AM for me. But a morning reset is easier to live with than 4PM or 7PM reset, because most people wouldn't be playing in the time window between waking up and morning reset (unless they need to finish something from last night). Most people work or go to school in the morning. On the other hand, most people are playing in the afternoon/evening, and if reset happens in the middle of that it can be annoying.

Furthermore, UTC has no daylight savings time. That means reset isn't even at a fixed time. There will always be a period of confusion twice a year, until people get used to the new reset time. (We get this for a few weeks every season because Europe doesn't move clocks on the same dates America does). It's possible to live with, but why should the majority of players have to?

Bottom line: if this change had been announced earlier and everything rescheduled accordingly (ideally, all content and events should just be made to run around the clock, so people in America, Australia, and Europe, could all participate), it would have been a lot easier to swallow.
But I don't think it was necessary at all, because it inconveniences the majority of players for no good reason.
