What IF we were able to influence what ZOS works on for future updates? Like let’s say they took a year off from adding in new content and just focused on performance. Do we REALLY need new dungeons that lag? Or new sets that seem to be broken from day 1 (Dark Convergence)? Do I NEED another zone to explore with terrible frame rate and client crashes? Nope. I know, insert dead horse meme here.
I just feel like the community as a whole, console and pc/mac, would be much much happier if performance wasn’t a problem. We expect a little bit of lag or maybe some frame drop here and there in crowded areas, because not every connection to the server can constantly be perfect, but I think it’s pretty ignorant to continuously introduce new things to a broken game in regards to performance.
So, would you be upset or opposed to a year of no content in favor of only performance updates (that work)?
Not everyone experiences performance issues. And, the game isn't broken.

Very opposed, and it will never happen. If they did what you suggest (and has been suggested several times before), ESO would be set on fire.So, would you be upset or opposed to a year of no content in favor of only performance updates (that work)?
I would pay up to triple of the regular chapter price (3x$59) for a chapter update that is advertised to have 0 new content, except only to have performance fixes and QOL improvements and adjustments to all the things needed.

Besides that ZOS already did a "year of performance improvements" where they dedicated all the appropriate people and resources to performance updates and gave us regular updates on their progress and what we've got now is what came out of that. Would you have paid for those updates? Would you have been happy if they'd frozen new releases for that year and all we'd had was those performance updates?

Besides, there are several clusters of specialized developers. You don't want Jan from accounting to drop her pencil and jump into an area she isn't qualified for.
In other words, not only can they do more than one thing at once, they are. They are also painfully aware of what is going on. I imagine if it was simply a matter of getting more hands on deck to fix the problem, it would have been solved. Which means that it is a little more complex than throwing more people on the pile.

Most of the performance issues affect Cyridiil and trials. It might be more appropriate to ask those who play those parts of the game whether they would be happy to have both Cyrodiil and trials closed down for a year while the issues are fixed.

The only time I have "performance issues" is when I am first dropped into the game, and for about five seconds the framerate is very poor, but then it "catches up" and everything is okay.
