I disagree with any forced Segregation, but I do agree with setting up a couple of segregated worlds, and allowing people from heavily populated servers to seed them. Force segregation based on POL region. Simply for those who believe that it takes anything more than auto translate to play 99% of FFXI's content.

The biggest issue is that this isn't really based on racism, like a lot of people think. Granted, it does exist, even in this day and age, but the majority of the conflict is because JP don't like the fact you can't even read any of their alphabet; not even the katakana. If you could read the katakana, you would actually know what the words are without an English to Japanese dictionary. It's frustrating when they can at least read every letter you type, even if they don't know the words, but you can't read any of their letters. For most JP, it is more difficult to form words (particularly japanese words) and structure sentences with English characters.

Spaces, excessive punctuation, and variable interpretations of phonetics between hiragana/katakana to romaji are also annoying.

Personally, I can't even stand it when English players type in "Japanese" with english characters myself, and I'm American. It's like watching MacBeth acted out by 11 year olds with Down Syndrome.
