Yep, just spent two minutes trying to pick up a single Nirnroot... ...before being kicked to the log-in screen.
BTW -- far too many crafting writs (normal and master) require Nirnroot. It's the only one I'm out of all the time, but I never use it to make potions (other than for writs).
I can't even work around one problem with this game (the Nirnroot sinkhole) without another problem getting in the way (this ping storm).
It's getting very annoying. I can't pick Nirnroot, let alone run a dungeon, so forget Cyrodiil. I was murdered by a single trash mob enemy because of this lag.
I'm afraid the "Free Week" ploy to revitalize the player-base is going to fail miserably unless this issue is resolved promptly.
