  Remember that the patches are distributed to the publishers of the region, they don't have to fully implement the whole patch, they can use some parts of it. Just see it as a mandatory/optional patch, some are required as others are not so much. Which is also why other regions differ greatly from NA Tera.

  That's not really true, actually. They can't pick-and-choose from a patch, and all the patches are provided centrally by BHS for each region.
  
  The deviations are basically caused by two things:
  1. Region-specific customizations made by BHS and passed to the region. (Things like the Talent system in K-TERA, or the TERA Rewards system in NA TERA, for example.)
  2. Local changes made by the publisher, typically either by modifying merchant contents, or through the event overlay system (which can do things such as adding rewards to vanguard quests, etc.).
  
  If a publisher didn't want to receive some aspect of an update that was being passed down from the trunk to the branch, they'd have to ask BHS to modify the build they receive. And these days, BHS really doesn't seem to be doing that very often (ever since they consolidated the builds a few years ago).
