Some Instances More Laggy Than Others?

As I understand it everything is instanced, correct? That’s where invisible player bugs come from? So are some instances just more laggy than others for whatever reason? Is it not well balanced when it comes to queues? I ask because I can get days or matches of bad lag then miraculously, at the same time of day all other things similar, it’s a great match. No health desyncs, bar swaps work, abilities fire etc. We also have this ongoing issue where a good portion of the player base is having terrible PvP experiences, and the other half is like I have no idea what you’re talking about. This can’t all come down to ISP/system/location issues. So what’s going on?

    Without knowing how ZOS balances their server loads I am not sure the question could be answered.

    I know in other games they would place zones in different server nodes/blades and if some zones which were not connected to a busy one geographically shared the same node/blade it would lag out. This could be what's happening with ZOS but they're pretty tight lipped about how a lot of the game works under the hood.
