Just look at AION, it has perfect US support. The game runs smooth, servers are all located in the US.

If they don't care about the largest video game market in the world, fine by me. There is a good reason for the steady decline of video games in Japan comparing to the fast growth of Korea and China.
I cannot agree that the US gaming population outweighs the Asian gaming population. Asia [KR/CN/TW] accounts for half of WoW's 12 million subscriptions if I'm not mistaken. As for Aion, they have US servers because, well, they're for US players. There are Korean and Chinese Aion servers as well if you had the client to play on them. I understand it's slightly retarded to host international servers in only one country for the entire world, but, what do you propose they should do? I'm sure they're trying to keep cost down since they aren't pulling in the amount of money that Blizzard is by any means. They could host a few servers in different countries across the world but it would just be the same thing and people would migrate to the closest server for the lowest latency. FFXI and FFXIV are games that do not require the fastest reaction time, everything is fairly slow paced. Why the menus take forever to navigate through? I really have no idea on that one.
