I hope Henrik won't take this step for the sake of this ping cry. Since this step will bury the project for Europe and the CIS region. The most correct solution is to separate the two regions.
Once again, I repeat that this vote is irrelevant since most of the players do not even know about it, and the majority does not go to the forum and read it.
This isn't a 'ping cry'. This is a move that would help more people in the game, so long as Henrik's words ring true about fixing the sync. problem as well as managing higher pings.
It wont bury the project for EU. To say that is equal to it remaining in the EU that it is burying NA, SA, AU, and Japan. There's not much to say on the AS region but to be honest I don't see MO2, just like MO1, having much of an AS presence. There wasn't really one in MO1.
Henrik has stated he will not be dividing the community between two servers, so this is not an option. I too would agree, two servers would be better then one; but he is dead set on this. Hence the idea for one singular server moved.
The vote is not irrelevant. Even though the forums do not fully encompass all players who will be playing MO2, it does give us an idea of things however because even if topics are 'under represented' there is bits and pieces from different regions, groups, guilds, etc. I actually think if all of the playerbase HAD to vote, the vote wouldn't change dramatically. The most I see it dipping is down to 65% for an NA server, 18-25% for no server change (EU server), and 10-17% being indifferent.
Why do people need to read the forums to understand the topic? You do realize I for example brought the thread to attention to my group and told them if any of them didn't have an account to go make one and vote so that they are at least represented? I've put this thread in the Discord twice, and talked about it before. It's not like I'm misleading them or skewing votes, this is what people coming out and showing their opinions looks like.
To invalidate it is to invalidate their responses and opinions, which I disagree with.
The irrelevant thing to do, is to call it irrelevant; and not present an alternative solution whilst you point a finger and say "whiner".
