Instead of no CP PvP...

Sneaky-Snurr

...why not disable addons.
As far as I'm concerned, the lag patterns and its frequencies in PvP hasn't changed by the slightest which points to addons which I highly suspect what's eating up a lot of connections from and to client and server. Especially with addons like *cough* Miat's *cough* that constantly feeds on informations, calculations and connections for you-know-what. That doesn't even include other addons like M.M and all which rely on an almost constant, realtime information feeds.
Please note that addons have always been there since launch and CP just got implemented waay later but the lag is still the same.

If anything, the CP points invested behaves (consequently calculates) exactly like class and other skill line passives so I have no reason to conclude or hypothesise that CP is behind the lag spikes.
It makes no sense.

And sure, the addons provide utility to the players but it eats up the connection a lot as I'm sure a lot of players are aware of. So why not try this out after this no CP nonsense?

The addons are obviously the cause of the lag, I know first hand that its true yet so many people are complaining about lag when it isn't ZOS's fault, it is there fault for using so many addons, from what I learned the UI addons are biggest issue.

The lag will never be fixed until they stop using the addons which so many wont do.

Is lag less on consoles than PC?
It's my understanding that consoles do not have add-ons so lag should be less if add-ons are the cause.
I haven't played ESO on console so I don't know.

Certain addons definitely eat as much as they can, others do next to nothing. HarvestMap was the worst for me, I was okayish with approx. 7000 nodes and when I downloaded the merged file (approx. 113,000 nodes), it was unplayable. MM and most if not all minimap addons have big impacts.

That's a UI addon, the number 1 type of addon responsible for lag.

The stuff in the add ons should have been in the game from the beginning.
