When I look at it
- loading screen issues
- group finder issue
- BG issues
- charge issues in cyrodill
- getting kicked out of I&C when disconnecting
- non english languages messed up after patch
Then they make event
- pvp event cannot go in campaign due to overpopulation and lag like hell
- pve event cannot use group finder to get in the dungeon
hmmmm...
I got banned for a similar post for bashing the company LOL
Almost all of the people i played with for ~3 years have left, only me and another still play casually now just dinking around. What you said has been said many times, threads will be closed and forgotten about

This event makes a lot more sense as a stress test for the groupfinder than it does as an "event". Getting tons of players to use it allows ZOS to see the problems that were occuring now happen in high volume and easily repeatable ways. Replicating the problem is always the first step to finding a fix. - The problem of course is that we'd be a lot more understanding if ZOS had billed this as a stress test and not an event.
They are working on the loading screen issues.
Cyrodiil's problems are mostly lag (some server side which ZOS can fix, some client side with ZOS can't fix) and game balance. With the exception that some of the server side lag seems to be calculations and such that are done server side specifically to prevent cheating. ZOS tends to hit game balance at the major updates when they tweak various things, we've seen that happen since Morrowind. So don't expect game balance changes to be happening intermittently. Battlegrounds is in the same boat. They just changed it over to all-CP so expect that ZOS will need some time to collect their data and figure out what game balance changes to make (and then remember that Battlegrounds is balanced for 4 players, Cyrodiil is balanced for 8 to 24 players, so you run the risk of empowering or nerfing builds in either content).
So the long and short of it is that none of these are things that can be fixed quickly. However, ZOS could definitely have generated more goodwill by being upfront that they expected groupfinder issues and would be monitoring and working on fixes as they happened. If ZOS didn't expect groupfinder to have issues, that's burying their heads in the sand.

Ok well my next question would be is this the first stress test? Why wasnt it done before and if it was why didnt they make changes to fix it?
and tbh if this is a stress test thats just a slap in the face to us saying we got you in the palm of our hand. They convince us there is cool stuff in the mystery boxes so we use the activity finder and then make us look like fools by saying this was a stress test all along? I dnt think so and if this was a stress test and nothing is fixed by end of month that proves incompetence
