Just because it was one way before doesn't mean it was perfect. What they need to focus is on giving everyone the same chances. That includes not having a x2 event only on the midnight, or having to stay until 4 am for a quest. Resetting a boss on the middle of the day actually gives you the chance of doing all daily runs of the same boss of two days in the same time in the middle of the day. Why doesn't anyone think it's convenient?
UTC, EST, whatever. It's truly global now. If you need to cover like, half the time zones, I'd say you go to the standard. However, you better be scheduling for that half of the time zones too. So yes, I think you ARE right, in a sense. But now it's not only North America, even if the playerbase is mainly there. Or else, no new European players will ever come. And that's bad for everyone in the long run.
The idea isn't for European players to come to the NA servers. Nexon practically begged them to stay on the server that gives them the best ping, and promised to add an EU Reboot soon, too.
So the NA servers should have stayed PST and the the EU server should have stayed CET, which is not screwing anyone.
Screwing the majority to accommodate a few newcomers certainly makes no sense.
As for doing bosses twice in one day - that means you do them one day on, one day off. If you go solo that's your own choice, but if you're doing guild runs that opens the door to endless disagreements and misunderstandings.
