I know it's probably a lot to ask, but it's no secret that even downloading and patching eso doesn't quite perform as it should. I don't have the best internet, but the launcher tells me my download speed around 45-65 MB/s, yet when trying to patch the game it feels like it takes 2-3x longer than it should.

Could we consider some improvements to the PTS so we don't have to entirely redownload the entire game? A change Blizzard made to WoW somewhat recently is it actually uses all of the relevant files from the live install of the game and just downloads the new/modified files so you dont have to download an entire 80 gigabyte patch if you want to test the PTS

    Took me like 10 seconds to download the patch, no idea why you have to do that.

    did you have pts downloaded previously? because I didnt and have to go through the entire download.

    if you didnt have it downloaded, congratulations on living in an area where you can have fiber internet. not all of us won that lottery.

    Oh, yeah, I had it downloaded already. No I agree then entirely with your sentiment then.

    yeah, with the way WoWs PTR works now, even i you dont have it downloaded at all, downloading it is a 4-5 gigabyte download instead of 80+ however big WoW is now. It's massively QoL. Much smaller download and waste space on your drive.
