Are We Ever Going To Get Stealth System Bug Fixes?

I've been playing ESO ever since they dropped the subscription model years and years ago. Ever since i first started, all the way up to today, the stealth system has had MASSIVE bugs that remain in the game and i've never heard any official response from ZOS on them.
Specifically, there's issues where, even when nobody is around, when you enter stealth, sometimes the eye will slowly close and then immediately snap back open so you're not hidden, and it'll do this multiple times in a row sometimes. There's been a time or two where it probably took me a good 30 seconds to enter stealth because it keeps doing this over and over.
There's also the issue of people detecting you, but the eye icon that tells you whether you're detected hasn't even opened up yet. It's like the stealth detection takes a moment to update once someone actually detects you, so i've stolen items when it still says im hidden but i get a bounty because it opens a half second later when they actually spotted me.
These are just a couple of issues i run into on a DAILY basis, and have for years now. Is this ever going to be addressed or has ZOS ever explained why this is still in the game?

Eye only opens if you are in combat, which does have a irratating bug so you can stay in combat forever.
Or, eye opens when you are within certain distance's of enemy's, this range can vary.
Not a bug.

You completely misunderstand what i said. There are times when im COMPLETELY ALONE, like inside one of my houses, with zero enemies or NPCs around to spot me, and the bug still occurs.
Let me be more specific. When you crouch to enter sneak mode, the eye icon takes about 3 seconds to close, at which point your character becomes darker and you become stealthed. With this bug, you crouch, the eye slowly closes over 3 seconds, and as soon as it closes it snaps back open and then begins to close again, preventing you from entering stealth as you wait for the eye to close AGAIN. This can happen repeatedly, sometimes 3, 4 or 5+ times in a row if you get unlucky.
Again, it's not because you're spotted or in combat. It happens even when it's physically impossible for you to be spotted by someone.Edited by ZOS_ConnorG on July 3, 2020 5:22PM2 -

✭✭✭This has been happening to me with increasing regularity lately. I call it the "stealth gotcha." It's such a troll.Edited by SickleCider on July 3, 2020 12:27AM✨🐦✨ Blackfeather Court Commission ✨🐦✨0
