Yeah, the ques have been absurd lately, but this is the worse one yet. I waited even 15 minutes, but 1,5h? Come on!

They did have a "looking into login issues" on the forum banner which is now gone. So they looked into and and decided nothing doing, it is what it is.
@ZOS_GinaBruno you're losing your loyal players/paid customers over a bunch of Epic freeloaders who will stop playing the sooner than you think. I believe you should compensate this before it's too late to not scare off your entire playerbase.
I know you're trying your best to keep the Epic people in game to turn them into potential customers but it starts to become unacceptable, oh and it will backlash. This is doing more harm than good in the long run. I can imagine how ZOS marketing team thought it was a brilliant plan at the start. Your server caps begs to differ.
The most logical solution is queue priorities:
Paid Game + Paid ESO+
Paid Game + ESO+ Trial
Paid Game
Free Game + Paid ESO+
Free Game + ESO+ Trial
Free Game
If you are afraid to lose freeloaders then you can re-order it a bit, just don't punish your already paid playerbase anymore.

I had 1 hour 30 min queue, I waited it out then it got stuck on 1 second for about 15 to 20 minutes. Then I had to restart it currently I hit 30 min wait time and 1 hour left 😂 yeah... And I just returned a few days ago. Seems like a mistake now. Glad I didn’t pay anything since I returned, I don't think I will 🙂
Yeah, that seems about normal now. Wait an hour, then bomb out with a 103 error and have to force stop ESO.
I don't know what person thought it was a good idea to overlap events, free ESO+, and free Epic, but any new players are going to take one look at the incredibly long wait times and say "No thanks!"... at the same time, people who might have thought about subscribing are going to do the same... "Why should I pay for a game I have to wait to play?"
And you're also pissing off paying customers at the same time.
