PC NA Server is (dare I say it) Unplayably Laggy

KayleeSeranada
I try to stay away from using fear-monger words like "broken," "OP," and "unplayable," but it seems like the latency issues on NA PC keep getting worse and worse every day. It's gotten to the point that I'm actually developing headaches from trying to work against the lag. Clearly, it's necessary for me to take time off from the game until this is resolved.

I'm consistently sitting around 4-500 ping with frequent (every few minutes) spikes to 999+. I've tried waiting patiently for the issue to be fixed because I've actually been quite content with the maintenance service I see ESO getting... But these issues have been lingering for a week now and not only do I see nothing on the Dev Tracker acknowledging these basic functionality issues, but I see that there's no server maintenance this week. Maybe because y'all are investigating it - I don't know. Nobody does. Because the transparency on this issue is non-existent.

Thought maybe the issue was on my end. Ran a speedtest, but even a connection to a Houston, TX server shows adequate performance from my ISP. For kicks and gigs I decided to hop over to the EU server to see if it was any better. Turns out all the issues I was experiencing in NA were magically fixed - game feels exactly how I would expect it to, even though I'm pinging across the Atlantic.

I'm no network professional, but it seems clearly evident to me that something is gunked up with the PC NA server. I ask on behalf of the dozen-or-so other threads I've seen on this same issue: is anything being done about this at all?

    PC EU is very bad too lately, basically 2 weeks when you get huge lag spike out of nowhere and cyrodill is very hard to play
