As someone with a "Normal North American circadian rhythm," I have to chime in on a couple things here.
First, we get screwed in plenty of events too, so I don't think pitting time zones against each other solves anything. (EC and other events often require me to play between 11pm and 5am if I want to finish and plenty of boss coalition events have ended at awful times here as well.)
Mostly though, the quoted "solution" worries me. It reads to me as if they'd actually consider it a success if they scatter event times so it's equally bad for everyone. The focus needs to be on extending the time for the last charge, which includes sufficient time for all to finish after a boss is defeated.

Brigby said: In the past, players have requested less of the The Return of the God-Pharaoh event, because it was so frequently scheduled; at one point, it was every other weekend! In this case though, the last time this event was run was back at the end of December; specifically the weekend of the 21st.This question should probably be its own thread, but for the sake of addressing this topic in a swift manner, are there any other variables as to why players aren't interested in playing this event?
Wafflesauce said: Anyone who wants to see the past discussions can check out my relatively short post history, but there are 2 primary viable solutions proposed:1) Increase the amount of time between the last charge and event end to 10 hours or more. 2) Give players all charges up front and let them complete the competitive event at their own pace.
Completely agree/sorry for some of my wording. I really see them botching a solution, so that's where my negativity was supposed to be directed. I'm amazed it's stayed this way for my 1 year, let alone all 3 or however many.
Though I do play well and nearly every meaningful charge, I am still trying to stay casual, so most events are about as important for me. However, I definitely get others focus on coalition event timing and missed that many (most?) do benefit me.
BATMAN1 said: Let’s take a different approach instead of you asking the player base why it hates this event, which happens almost every time it’s scheduled. You tell us why it’s being scheduled? Why ROGTP over the other 20 plus events you have in your back pocket?Because the player base will always tell you how we feel, but I think it would be more impactful to hear what the devs or scheduler thought process was for putting ROGTP on deck again.
