Mine is frequent disconnections and if you search the Bug Report forum, similar issues seems to go back to 2016. I suppose since it's not global, they are willing to leave it uninvestigated and just let the affected players quit. Certainly contacting all possible local connections/services can be really time consuming.
However, the local ISPs might also not care about inability to reliably connect to just the one service and don't care to investigate closely. That's the feeling I'm starting to get from my ISP. We'll see how long they try to string me along or if they really did fly executives out to Alberta to talk to their reseller services provider.

Other games don't have this problem, and the problem seems ubiquitous in the ESO community. At what point are people going to smell the roses and accept that it's the game, the servers, and ZOS that's the issue here

Even the simplest battles are frustrating... music off... mounting off... loading screens long if not freezing... this is embarrassing to say the least.

My issue, that of frequent disconnects and getting kicked to the login screen, was apparently also experienced by World of Warcraft (and possibly other Blizzard games) players way back around 2008. From what I've read on the internet, Comcast admitted there was an issue and worked to resolve it.
So a lot of people were affected and apparently Blizzard wasn't the main culprit. What they did have, was more acknowledgement of the problem.
(If other people have a more accurate summary of that event, feel free to step in here)
So, without knowing 100% where and what is causing my frequent disconnects from ESO, I don't want to blame ZOS. I would however like them to have a more active part in helping us resolve it, though -- Single customer voices talking to an ISP Customer Service person with a condescending attitude because you have a problem with just "a game" won't have the clout an internationally known game company has.
And other players who just throw out pat answers like "maybe it's XYZ" -- can you all please STFU. Do you seriously think we haven't gone through all the customer service hoops that have gone through all those possibilities? If it were so easily solved do you think we'd bother to post anything here? It is extremely arrogant and foolish to think with one flippant sentence you can solve an issue that's been ongoing for a long time. Go to the Bug Reports forum and do a search on "kicked to login" and you will see -- since 2017 if not earlier.
I'm tempted to change my build and run two sorc pets again. At least they can tank the baddies away and win the fight for me if I'm disconnected but still logged in somehow.
What about when a group of us experience the exact same issues, on a daily basis, in the same zone, and we are all from different areas of the world with different ISPs. Its not your ISP. Sure it could be in some cases, but overall this game is a mess. I play with people from US, canada, and eu. Same BS in pvp. Same terrible performance in the main campaign.
Look at my last 2 videos on YouTube and tell me I’m complaining for the sake of it. While your at it check jackbull channel he shows same lag I’m getting.Since latest maintenance, it's working surprisingly well for me on Xbox EU. Both PVE and PVP. Sometimes it feels like people are just complaining for the sake of keeping up tradition.

Ok... but we are all playing the same game (per server) the primary differences being personal hardware, other software running on that personal hardware, internet connection, and geographic location.
I mean, do you think ZOS just likes certain people better or what? :P

LOL.
I have played FF14 not a long ago. There was a period of time when EU players getting constantly kicked out of server every day in prime time. And it wasnt problem with game servers. It was problem on the WAY to this servers.
SO YEA , it can be your ISP or your computer.

Now, an interesting thing I've discovered here, and backed up by other users in this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/8n3084/eso_eu_server_is_in_america/
is that the EU Megaserver is nowhere near the EU, it is in Hunt Valley, Maryland, USA. Apparently, it was moved back to the USA when the game looked like it was going to go *** up. The original migration from the USA to the EU is featured here:
