My guess is that the decision to move to UTC was made hastily during the EU-NA migration maintenance, without too much consideration of the effect server time has on gameplay. And now we are stuck with it because the servers would need to be shut off for 7 hours (so, at least a 9-hour maintenance) to move them back to PST/PDT, and upper management does not allow shutting the service down for that long just to make things more convenient.
If that is the case, would you please run a poll asking the players whether we would be willing to have a 10-hour maintenance to move server time back to Pacific time?
I don't know whether it would sway management's opinion at all, but I think that, in general, happy players generate more income than players upset by missing events because of an unnatural system clock. One long maintenance for years of player lack-of-aggravation seems worth it to me.
