5. Can you define the so-called "standard" you are talking about?
6. The poll assumes that ZOS is at fault for all mentioned problems, which is not true considering the potato's some people use to play this game at
7. Do you want some bread with your whine?

As it is, for many of us (EU), Cyrodill is unplayable (at least Sotha) most of the time. I'm talking about awfull lag, skills that don't trigger, resource pool tick lag, and a lot more issues coming from bad performance. Not only it affects group play, but even solo.
One would expect smaller instances to perform better than Cyro, but no. BG instances are often broken, it's even worse at prime time. Players are getting stuck inside BGs that don't start because people are just not ported in, having to force quit and deal with 20 minute penalty, sometimes queue/group finder ports players to empty instances.. sometimes twice and more in a row, resulting in loosing a considerable amount of gameplay time.
Having no feedback at all from the responsible company/team only frustrates players even more, because not only they will have to deal with such conditions if they chose to continue playing, as also they don't know if any action is being made to solve or address the issues. Thats why feedback to costumers is important, they will hold and wait for a lot more if you provide enough information and reason to be waiting for things to be solved.
I honestly don't expect the game to be 100% infallible, but these are not minor issues, these are game breaking conditions most of the time.

"logging into the game, long loading screens (outside of Cyrodiil), disconnections swapping between characters, and general lag in overland quests etc"
ALL of those are widely experienced and same "server-based" as everything else...connected to a basically broken server performance during prime time...... so dont missinform people unless youre paid by ZOS to do it like rest of "customer service" bots.
I'm not misinforming anyone, those issues are not as widely experienced as lag and other problems in Cyrodiil and trials, and there have been various posts providing ways in which players can address some of them and confirmation that they have been successful in doing so. Just recently several players confirmed that getting their ISP to reroute their data and updating their addons had improved the game's performance for them.
I'm not paid by ZOS to post here, but I'd be happy for them to make me an offer, preferably backdated !

Yes, PC-EU all functions run properly ! 12%
No, PC-EU run out of standards and ZOS don't answer anything ! 87%
Yes, its quite clear you desperately want a job at ZOS, you act just as "customer service" bots blaming people instead broken server, you would fit right in.
Extremely long log in times, extremely long loading times, random boots from the server, boots when using wayshrines to another zone....ALL is because of broken server.

Hehe, I hardly want a job on the other side of the pond at my time of life, I'm happily retired thanks. I simply said I wouldn't be averse to ZOS paying me for each of my posts, preferably backdated - did you really take that seriously ?
So far 110 people out of the several hundred thousands actively playing the game have voted "No". If every problem listed here was down to broken servers then the proportion of players suffering those problems would be far higher, and the forum would be on fire. As it is, we're only on the second page of this topic because over a quarter of the posts are by the OP.
The server has some real problems, not least in relation to Cyrodiil and trials, in addition to which the dungeon finder tool is broken although that's nothing to do with the server. Other problems are much less common and have in some cases been fixed by those players who are willing to put in a bit of effort rather than simply rant at the developers.
The one area I do agree very strongly on is that ZOS need to step up their communication as conceded by them towards the end of last year but in respect of which nothing has happened since. That needs to change, and quickly.
Have to add that the poll is for PC players only, so it just has 1/3 of the player base; not even since some people might not have a forum account. Poll should’ve also included those on Console EU as well.How does EU server works in compare with NA? Is it world-wide problem or mostly EU related?

1. Forum is used by miniscule part of playerbase
2. Game is techically playable. It is just terrible experience...and if you havent figured it out by now - most people dont care and will just stop playing without big fanfarre or "im quitting the game" drama forum posts
3. Waiting for the problem to resolve itself by people just stopping playing is not a very wise one. In fact it will just make them wave it away...until next tme it happens again. At this point PC EU is literally unable to grow.
4. If this is in their face every day all the time...they might actually do something about it...or say what are they doing about it. As now it seems - nothing. "Commonality" of the problems is completely different issue, if you dont use wayshrines all that much to travel between zones...of course it will be "less common". Doesnt mean issue is not there.
Are you satisfy on PC-EU quality of service, functions in game like Activity Finder (Dungeon Finder) ? More than thousands of players taking ACTIVITY FINDER(DUNGEON FINDER BUG every day, unstable), lagging, spike lag, ,cyrodil lag, and can't use content like dungeons and at all battleground's because activity finder in ESO.

What you're really asking is about the Activity Finder and not the PC/EU server in general terms. I suggest you follow the prescribed procedure and submit a Ticket. A forum post has limited results.
