this is propably best exampla of animation cancelling in pvp:
charge heavy attack. lanch gab closer ability, press wrecking blow and then finish with dawnbreaker. all those attacks?? all i see is the gab closing when it happens to me with ping below 80 or so and i find myself dead, without seeing the other skills. well actually i see the flashes from dawnbreaker too hehe, like it did help with anything.

Pretty much this. It's usually about the timing and execution which makes PvP a different beast entirely. I mean you're dealing with latency, the skill of the player using the attacks in question, and ruling out any and all potential exploits. A lot of people will be quick to scream "Macros", but generally speaking I roll my eyes because they really don't understand what's actually happening or are too enveloped in their e-pride that they can't take a death.
for me. that skill rotation, without seeing anything else except gab closing and the flashes from dawnbreaker should not exist in competive pvp. i can accept this> gabclosing and then starting dawnbreaker. or. gab closing and when land on ground automatically wrecking blow starts. but not that whole chain of skills.
most comical thing is. that ppl who say macros are useless... have no clue how usefull they are. problem is, that loads of folks thing that for macro you need atleast 5-10 button pressed for it. when actually. all you need is skill + weapon swap. or skill + dodge roll or skill + block to make it highly effective.

Then there's quite a few folks that take it one step further. To continue to use Naga as an example, instead of down-arrow 1, up-arrow 1, the macro becomes LMB (light attack), delay 50ms, down-arrow 1, up-arrow 1, RMB (block).
My ping isn't bad (around 100 i think on average) and a macro like this would result in more failure than success.
Isn't this just the weird lag-bug.. where the attacker freezes in place for a few seconds doing nothing, then all the abilities he was mashing while frozen land at once when he becomes unstuck.?
This isn't ani-cancelling, its a bug (which I believe some people have figured out how to intentionally trigger and exploit)

oh no... please tell me we don't have lag-sploiters in this game? You know the same kidz and their lag switched from the COD and BF series games?

I think part of the problem with the threads is that people just believe everything they're told rather than going and doing some research of fact checking.
We've seen it with a lot of things in the game where it starts to trend as a reason and everyone just believes it's fact then repeats it over, so more believe it etc.
How many times have you seen that "big guilds manipulate all the market to stay in power" when yes it has happened, and happens a little but isn't this constant all consuming thing.
This applies to real life and "fake news" as well. People just need to go and learn to fact check for themselves rather than believe everything.
That's my cynical rant for the day.

Except your rant is completely off base.
Ani canceling is very real. Take a trip to Cyrodiil sometime, you'll find yourself 100 to Zero'd instantly, with a death recap of half a dozen skills done in a split second.
