The lag, the lag, the lag is everywhere. It was annoying before last maintenance, it is worse since. I am getting lag when I used not get lag:

--when turning my toon 180 degrees
--when entering/exiting inventory UI
--when interacting with bankers and crafting stations
--immediately after going through doors
--when I mount my horse/senche/guar/camel
--just whenever (seems to be in 30 second intervals), I cn just be standing there, idle, and the game continues to lag out
--when bar sapping in combat and when using abilites (and killing dps along with it)
--when harvesting nodes

Sometimes there's skips in the graphics, like there's a lot of packet loss happening.

Oh and there's lag in loading screens--that little ESo ouroboros icon that spins when you're in a loading screen used to spin smoothly, now it's spinning all jerky and choppy like for me, everytime.

Again, this wasn't like this until very, very recently. Nothing about my ISP or PC has changed in that time, drivers all updated, addons all updated, blah blah blah. I've tried downgrading my vid setting, turning off distortion and grass, turning off add-ons, turning off my real-time scanning on my anti-virus, made sure Superfetch isn't running in the background, and so on. Nothing I do on my end makes one bit of difference.

The patterns of lag makes me think they're trying to implement anti-cheat and other means of scanning players online for cheats, and it's just making the server connections congested af for many players.
