No one is upset and no one cares; I'm just saying that it's not particularly reasonable to pretend that it's all for 'fun' and not for fame. You only really make 'friends' in that region once you participate in that region, which is usually because you want to play and get known there.
People think I'm going against them, but this is common knowledge, playing with high ping is never fun and if you're playing because you're 'friends' with them, thats usually a direct result of initial engagement due to wanting to be known. It's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just pretty much what I believe it is, but would obviously be denied for the sake of egoism.
Someone being from the same continent as you doesn't mean you're the same person and you all are best friends, concerns can be raised (not that this particularly means anything).
