At a complete loss at how disconnected ZOS is with it's players.

What matters to most people is whether they enjoy playing the game. That's it really, except that I don't understand the reasoning behind those who don't enjoy the game still being here, and in many cases still playing a game they don't enjoy and whose developers they hold in contempt for one (largely imagined) reason or another.

As for those wanting the game to be tweaked to their particular fancy, that rather reminds me of when I was working (I'm now retired) and producing expert witness reports. I had the occasional client who wanted to write the report themselves and just get me to sign and present it - they got short shrift and were invited to look elsewhere. It's the same with the game, it's for the developers to design the game and for players to decide whether they want to play it.

Very few people are asking that the game "be tweeked to their particular fancy".

Most people are asking for the lag to be fixed.

That is all.

I don't know why you have this idea!!!!11

I mean they say all the time that they love hearing their community, and they used to do events (at least before the pandemic) where they sit with players and laugh alot and they're all happy. And they also call their players #ESOfam.

Why do you say they're disconnected?!

This idea that ZOS does not listen to the community, I'm not so sure where it comes from.

If a developer only ever does what a community wants, rather than what the game actually needs, you end up with garbage.

Keep in mind, most of the time the community can't even AGREE on what it wants. Someone, somewhere on these forums is ALWAYS going to be unhappy with anything the devs decide.

You ask 100 different people and youll get 100 different answers.
They cant please everyone, that is an impossible thing to do
Although I think if they can fix the lag issues by changing AOEs, I think most players would be thrilled with that.
Bottom line it IS their game and they decide how its going to run, not the playerbase.

They listen either when the feedback aligns with their agenda, or when the feedback doesn't actively go against their agenda, and implementing said feedback isn't going to be difficult, with the odd example or two of when they listened when the feedback actively went against their agenda, but the playerbase was so angry that they had no choice but listen. Otherwise? They'll read it, but it'll go in one ear and out the other, before they've moved on to the next thread.
