I'll just stop arguing about the whole Asian developer issue as it seems to cause excessive emotions in certain posters. Not that I have anything to add, really. I apologize if I hurt someone's feelings, I assure you that was not my intention.
However, I'd like to more thoroughly explain why I do not like the option of C2M in Aion:
The biggest problem with C2M is that it's nigh impossible to control the way your character is facing. If you click behind an enemy, you'll walk right through it and you'll have your back against the enemy when your character stops. Because of this, NCsoft has had to implement something to help clickers face their enemies. In Aion's case, it is auto-face. Auto-face is entirely useless if WASD movement is used (though I dislike saying WASD as ESDF is better) and in fact is detrimental to the game as it takes away one aspect of PVP; line of sight.
This is why I do not like the double system of Aion. I think it would be a fair, though undesirable from my perspective, compromise if C2M could actually perform roughly as well as WASD, but it simply can't, so in my eyes it is a waste of the developers time and hurts the game. WoW already perfected MMO controls for our most used peripherals (keyboard + mouse), why go for anything else?
