I don't recall a time when they did prioritise local connections over international connections. Unless you're willing to point me to a specific use-case that the KDKW devs has actually wrote that I am going to otherwise dismiss your claims as fallacy. The only time when the last spring event got wrong was when the servers were overloaded with connections in which they tried to address it after the event with several tweets mentioning that they're strengthening their servers.

What TPP? Trans-Pacific Partnership? as if that is going to change much when they've pretty much restricted the usage of the game from within normal means. It is hardly different than like the case involving underaged people visiting adult sites by means of cheating their mechanisms to prove that they're already either adults or older, etc.

The case still stands that you can still play the game via "region cookie". Unless you're stuck behind the great firewall of China, there is virtually no excuse to not use region cookies. The use of VPN and what not is totally up to you depending on how paranoid you are. Governments are cracking down on VPN but notably on free ones because they get used and abused by others. It is not like you cannot go register yourself a private VPN account and/or have connections to Japanese people so that you can use their private connection for your purposes.

I am not seeing any point with this futile discussion.
 * If you're paranoid about hating money with your own credit card, there are other untested ways to hate money and to show DMM/KDKW off that you're still a Japanese.
 * If you're paranoid about the fact that you have to go through all these simple blocks that DMM/KDKW uses to prevent largely the masses from being able to play the game then I wonder why do you even bother to play the game when others before you and even right now are still using the same old methods to play the game.
 * If you want to talk about philosophies over the way DMM/KDKW acts, you can do that elsewhere. This has already become off-topic since your former relevant questions has been answered.

Case closed.
