instead of defaulting to my local server, manually chose one in Europe, and sure enough Europe had many available servers, I could play in again like if it was the first state

That sounds like a bad design...

How could it be? Im sure everyone here is no stranger to automated systems being fucky, if anything giving the user the choice is considerably in favour of them. Besides, im subject to the same system as in my region, I got access to unnocupied servers due to time zone differences.

Yes but you can allow the user to have a choice while also having sensible defaults.

Assuming you read my entire parent comment... what would a sensible default do in that case? Put me in a less crowded region compromising quality as I mentioned?
