Yeah, I know the game is region-less, but there is still the general concept of US and EU worlds. So you’d think those in the US area could be timed for reset differently as I’m sure the majority of players on US servers are not in the EU. See here: http://wiki.guildwars2.com/wiki/World

Daily Achievement Reset Time Midnight UTC - Why?

It seems strange the daily achievement reset time is midnight UTC. For players in the Americas, this means reset happens pretty much during prime-time play (4-9 pm for most Americas locations).

I suppose if you haven’t done your daily achievement from the previous day this is nice as you can “squeeze” in two days’ worth in a single night, but for those players who can just play an hour or two each evening, having a reset time right in the middle of the evening means some days I sign in to play and need to stop for the evening before the reset happens.

Since the game is already divided into two regions, why not have the Americas version reset sometime which would be a much lower access time for that part of the globe. 10:00 UTC would be 2 am – 7 am for most of Americas which is probably much less active.
