MAIN EVENT START TIMES (US SERVER)
I don't understand how a simple timestamp is such a HUGE problem for you guys...

So if the CC starts in Germany at 5pm their time, that's 10AM on the US server.
That's just the way it is.
They did for a while have different start time but stop that for unknown reason. I thought the time for server at top of screen was there so each server could have different start times for events. That was it purpose but looks like that idea has been thrown away as well

I am not sure I agree with you that AU1 suffers more than other servers, the majority of events, for a long time, started at midnight CET which is during the day for AU1, but now there does seems to be more of a spread of times, as we have had CET midnight, 9am, 10am, 2pm, 6pm recently & most events run for a full number of days, so they are equally fair or unfair for everyone.
The only "unfairness", related to timezones, that we see at the moment, is with the short time boosters, which are won in a couple of events & start running when the event ends, some of which are so short that have expired before the players even see them & we are still pushing to get something done about that.
Timestamps are one of the most simple areas of code, and there is no need to 'synchronize' worldwide until there is such a time that an event is created in which all servers participate with live scoring.
I highly doubt this will happen.. It is best to pick the middle timezone of a server region and set the events to start in the early evening. This way everyone has a fair chance to score.
This definitely holds true to Hard Worker events.

Rotating is also not a bad idea if the above cannot be achieved.
We used to get events at around 6pm CST which was around midnight in Germany... Convenient for us but as you can see by the response from Australian players, quite the inconvenience for them.
We're not asking for a complete re-haul on the game software... Just a simple correction on main event start times. Small events are not an issue.
