Just a friendly reminder to please refrain from replying to discussion threads for the sole purpose of “bumping” them. This is considered to be a form of spam because it does not add to the discussion in a constructive or meaningful way. We understand that everyone would like to keep their discussion active and visible, but we encourage you to strive for meaningful and constructive posts instead of posts that consist of nothing more than “Bump!” or "up!".

You want a meaningful discussion? It seems to me this is where ZOS could jump in with some technical details and, thus, provide it. The only reason people are bumping this thread is because they're worn down and baffled by years of PvP lag. I watched a really old ESO Live on YouTube, recently, and Brian Wheeler (to the best of my recollection it was him) was talking about gradual performance improvements being made. Fast forward 3 years and nothing has changed. That ESO Live could have been made yesterday. For God's sake, can we get an update, please? Perhaps your role isn't to be privy to the technical details and just keep order in the forums, but it seems to me you are still in a far better position to get some real answers than any of the rest of us. Just ask your tech team. As it stands, your post is the least constructive of them all.

For what it's worth, I know I could have written this in a less combative way, but you MUST know that PvP lag is a sore spot for many of us. Persistent posts about this topic are entirely appropriate. We won't just stop, because we've run out of new things to say. We keep going, because the problem is still the same and only ZOS can shine a light on it.

There's only 2 good reasons why ZOS doesn't respond to the performance issues:

1. They have no answer.
2. The community wouldn't like the answer.

My guess is #2; full resolution is too costly and wouldn't offer enough return on the investment. Where to spend money is not made by technicians with solutions. As long as profits stay substantial, the less need there is for change. That's just a business reality. The truth is, only a small percentage of players go into Cyrodiil regularly (the rest go there begrudgingly to earn points for vigor, warhorn, and purge, and get out asap)....and an even smaller percentage come here to complain. No matter how valid the complaints, the numbers are simply against them.
