I might be a minority here but I rather have they patch at the same time. I also might be biased because I work during the day and can't play anyway. Then again, I also play City of Heroes who also have their maintenances planned during the day for EU people and it doesn't bother me there either. It's just not that big of a deal to me... So, you might have your patches 12-14 hours later, I don't.
