why is it such a big deal? if you are really that dedicated to TE you can, like, sleep from 9-11 pm and wake up to do prep and woe from 11-1 am, and sleep again after that till, what 4/6 am? (or you can adjust that to your own liking)
This argument works the other way around too. If you're really dedicated to WoE TE you can wake up one hour earlier and catch up on sleep after, or sleep one hour earlier to make up.
Now, its just a matter of who should adjust:
1. SEAsian players would do as you say and PST players wake up at 8 am Sunday.
2. SEA players get to have an earlier, continuous and more comfortable sleep and PST players wake up at 7 am Sunday.
Now consider that SEA players comprise of two groups, UTC+7 and UTC+8, TEing from 11-1am and 12-2am respectively, including prep time. American players on the other hand, PST, PST+1 and PST+2, TEing from 8-10am, 9-11am, 10-12nn.
The current WoE times (1,2 and TE) are catered towards the server's American audience, with or without the time change. WoE 1 and 2 times in Asia are in the morning where they would be in school/work/bus to school. Some make sacrifices to attend, but this is not possible for everyone to do. Before the time change, there was a healthy Asian population participating in TE well since its during a decent-ish time of 11 Sunday evening. Why not give that time slot to them?
