Nope it is not a problem,
Downtime is at 11:00 am EvE GMT so the Date line is starting at 11:00 pm the same day and the other side is at 11:00pm the previous day.
And due to the fact New Zealand and Australia and Russians contain a small percentage of the players so they gobble a small amount in their before bed period. then in Europe the story gets a bit worse as they have the whole afternoon following work to mine but again they are still a minority number of players.
Finally we get to America making up the majority of players and they subsequently destroy what is left.
So although the current system is beneficial to New Zealanders then Australians and Russians, then progressing west, there is no other way to do it. If you had the DT more beneficial to Americans that would mean nothing at all would remain for the rest of the world.
So in saying that the main people the current DT time helps is the unemployed world wide and they would not care what time the DT is anyway.
Have you considered moving to a less populated area there are a lot of them still around where almost nothing is touched except on weekends?
Edit: or you could move to Australia, New Zealand, Rassia or a lot of nice places away from the backwards hemisphere

My apologies but they still make up the largest single country with 35.85% of subscribers.
But this leads to the question of with only 1/3 of them being from the USA, why they hell are we forced to use American(US) spelling on these forums?

Lors Dornick.
I would be more than happy to swap viriginroids for a move in DT.
As it is DT hits @ 9 pm local time ... which is kind of in the middle of primo play time.
So after you have unwound after work , had dinner , put the kids to bed and said goodnight to the wife ( Wives tend to be more tolerant than GFs or lovers ) ... you can get a good half to an hour of play time before you have to down tools !
I know it has been a turn off for many contempating Monday to Friday playing.
Then again I dont know if WOWs version of taking a whole block of time per week is any better.
I'm in Australia and DT isn't a problem anymore. It used to be an issue when DT was an hour or half an hour. Since DT is now less than 10 minutes I don't think we can really complain about it.
Except when they do a patch
