Honestly, I don't like playing with American players either. American players are often more rude and disorganized. They set up very short PTs, are badly equipped, don't take advice or instruction well, and leave abruptly.

I often play late at night specifically to play with JPs. If you understand and respect their culture it can work to your advantage. They are very loyal players. They will go out of their way to help out people in their PT even if it hurts XP/hr. Once as a noob I died in SSG in a JP PT (on my WHM). One of the members went to Norg, changed to DRK/WHM to tractor and raise me before going back and changing again to resume XP.

In a NA PT recently someone got a link in CN. Two people threw up a Warp Scroll and just ditched us immediately and dropped PT. I have never experienced such behavior from JP players. They seem to respect the time and effort of the real people playing this game.

Lately I've been playing almost static with a JP COR. He knows I'm well equipped and play THF well so he asks me to XP with him before my flag is even up.

In lower areas there is even more reason to not accept NA invites. NA PTs in low areas like Qufim are god awful. Underleveled subs, bad players, bad attitudes.




Now there are JPs that are just racists the same way some NAs are just racist. I'm not gonna say all JPs are great players or incredibly nice, but they tend to have more skilled and well mannered players than NAs do. You may say it's just a game, but when you play poorly or drop a PT abruptly you are wasting the time of real life people.
