because people don’t want to wake up early as hell for work?

They probably figure most folks are at work or heading to work by this time.

My guess is that it’s not automated and requires someone to be out of bed. It’s not critical so I am guessing there are no volunteers to wake up at 2:30 or earlier to start at 3.

Because sometimes we have to put up with minor inconveniences.

And would you want to be up for work at 3 am once a week, every week simply because its a “slight inconvenience” for people on the east coast?

If they did it a 3 a.m. PST you would still have a ton of people complaining on the east coast that they cant check the AH before going to work.

No matter what they set it at, someone will be unhappy.

I never understand this… Yeah they do on their own servers that are on completely different maintenance schedules.

Someone needs to be awake to pull on the giant lever at Blizzard HQ

If I got paid an appropriate amount for said service? Sure

then rotate the start times so at some point
people from both coasts get equal treatment

Time is an imaginary concept created by humans.
