Sure think about yourself. I would mind, as well as many other player that can't play on US Servers. There are many more countries able to connect with 200ms pings to the EU servers than to US servers. Where as with US players, they have good internet and can easily connect to EU Servers.
I tried a US server last night and had a ping of 600ms to the US Servers. When firing your cannons you have to wait about 3 to 4 seconds before it actually starts to fire, by that time the ships you are firing on moved and 90% of your shots miss.
