ESO PvP is worse than Oblivion - Fix Movement please!

Greetings ye forum

Foresooth, one might believe the elusive realms of Oblivion are the many hells of Nirn.
Assuredly, places of such ignoble affront are the worst venture? From fiery pits of merciless slaughter, to darkened rooms of unhallowed nightmares to the horrid reflections that mock Tamriel, coated in excrement.

How wrong you would be believing such folly. The truest hell is on Nirn itself, in Cyrodiil and the various battlegrounds where dreams come to die.

Coated in eternal layers of ice, shrouded in daggers, storms and arrows that pin and snare all who enter to the ground. Littered with the rotting corpses of those whose feet failed them and who died in the howling winds and relentless ice storms, never to escape death's grasp at the hands of their cruel tormentors. A place of ruin and torture, the barest movement reduced to an agonising crawl, prelude only to all their final destinations, a frost-covered grave.

Where once proud armies marched vigorously, now crawl the despondent masses of snared, rooted and doomed souls.

But hope is not lost, nay. For the tides of winter might yet be turned. The divines above perhaps see not the ruinous aftermath of their works. Were they to see the inflictions they have caused the children of Nirn, perhaps they might take pity and set us free.
Labour then! Decry your woes and scream at the heavens in ravenous fury. "We want to MOVE again! We want to RUN again! Set us free!"

Give us back our movement in PvP, bless us with mobility and return the sun to the ever-cursed realms of PvP lest we toil forevermore in the pit of damnation PvP - and especially BG's - has become.

Winter is here, now gather; and let us pray for spring.

    Don't need to move at the speed of a 60 mount, but I'd be behind a small window for snare removal.

    Some things that are traditional to the TES games are better left behind.

    you had to equip the boots of blinding speed to play at a decent speed and not dying of boredom (if you knew what you were doing)

    I played Morrowind. I enjoyed walking around, learning the land, seeing and enjoying the sights.
    There was no need to cleanse boredom with special boots for me.

    Travelling that continent was half the experience.

    You triggered my Morrowind movement speed PTSD. It would take HOURS to move to the next town and that's if you're lucky enough to not get mobbed by cliffracers, die, and have to do it all over again.

    OP's post is epic and an accurate, poetic description of cyro pacing.

    With the same argument then you'll have zero issues in ESO. Travelling through cyro is half the experience.

    Oh it's an experience alright, if like travelling slow... very slow.
    Say, where did you get those Boots of Blinding Speed again?

    just had to jump over a 2" high seam where there was a walkway I was trying to get on

    the problem was that I needed to sprint away and jumping takes FOREVER. the dude jumps 4 feet in the air and can't sprint until he lands + no momentum, I only moved a foot forward

    it killed me and it was a scenario I would have been able to survive if I had been able to sprint and dodge roll while healing.

    I knew I had to gtfo immediately and reacted appropriately but 1 second into my escape I hit an invisible wall (aka poorly mapped terrain)
