Again, it's not possible to be on this forum and not know about the rampant disconnecting issues. ....issues that are being experienced by most, if not all players in cyrodiil.
Zos has already laid out the plan that they are following for major overhaul of the system with the Express Goal of improving performance. And that plan is Not going to happen over night. Gonna take a few months.
So, deal with it in the short term, or take some time off until performance is improved.
IMHO
To the PC NA PVEers: ignore and downplay your PVP brethren’s problems at your own peril. Console PVEers dismissed our disconnection and lag issues too, saying that only a tiny portion of the playerbase PVPs and insisting that it wasn’t an issue because of that, and now console is a ****show in all areas. On PS4 NA, we frequently disconnect or experience a full game crash while trying to port into Elsweyr. We lag while crafting. Skill audio is desynced while killing mud crabs. Can’t loot the mud crabs, because the spot where it died on your screen does not match with where the server claims it died. PC EU players also ignored and dismissed PVPers concerns, and we all know what has happened to PC EU.
In short, just because YOU are not personally experiencing problems doesn’t mean you won’t. You should be concerned that Cyrodiil players are experiencing new issues that are making the game unplayable for them. That’s how it starts.

The whole comedy argument is about the request of for server take down. You are right about that if there is an ingame problem regardless of the portion whom it affects, it need to be fixed. BUT if this fix will negatively affect others who didn't experienced the original problem you will have some (often toxic) discussion.
I almost always check my internet speed after I DC.

A "fast" internet connection does not mean you have a stable internet connection. Using a speed test is not the same thing as running an actual traceroute to the IP address of the ESO game server.
If you want to learn how to run a traceroute to the actual ESO game server, you can find instructions by going to the support website and typing "traceroute" in the search box.

LOL.
You are aware that when people disconnect in Cyrodiil, entire groups are frequently affected, right? These are people who live in various places around the world, all getting disconnected from the server at the exact same time. It is not uncommon after a disconnect to log back in and see zone chat aflame with people complaining about just getting disconnected. We can actually see it happening too, on those rare occasions when you luck out and don’t disconnect:

See all those frozen group members? And the frozen AD players at 0:40? Those are people stuck in a random load screen, who will disconnect shortly. When they log back in, they’re all dead, thanks to being killed by the few players who did not disconnect. This is something that happens multiple times EVERY DAY on console, on PC EU, and now on PC NA. Individual connections have nothing, I repeat, nothing to do with it. When it affects large groups of players at the exact same time, that’s a server issue.
