Running to a battle in Cyrodill, as I get close in on the location.... Load screen... It's like my character blacked out, when I wake up I'm dead, nobody around to rez me because the fight moved on already.

I rez back someplace I can, I run to the next fight, caught in unresolved terrain, I caught up with the draw distance and I know damn well it's not my CPU, GPU or my ISP. Someone runs up, kills me while I am running on my mount, in place.

I rez at a keep, I travel to the closest location to where there is fighting, I run to the fight no load screen this time, awesome, I try to use an ability, nothing, I jam my keys, mash them, nothing, try to just light attack with my bow? Wait, what is this, why is my character pointing his bow in the air and frozen that way while I run around. Few seconds later I notice someone take a few whacks at me, then run off but I didn't take any damage....

Wait what? I died when nobody was around? Guess it was the guy that whacked me with the sword, delayed whatever....

At least my character isn't pointing my bow into the air anymore, nobody is around fighting, grrrrrr...

I rez at a keep, I travel close to where the fighting is, I get kicked out of the group for not being with them, grrrrrr

I get in another group, I run to where they are engaged in a fight, grrrrrr, load screen....

Screw this, I'm just going to do some quests in Cyrodill on my new character so I can build up my PvP skill lines. Get a quest, go to a delve, kill the boss, what? Why can't I loot the boss? Run to the exit....

What? Why can't I leave the delve? Why am I still in combat?

Try to roll dodge? Phffft, random load screen, try to switch weapons? Phfffft, bow pointing in the air, stuck in combat, can't leave delve, pissed off, frustrated, mad, my keyboard keys are popping off, my next door neighbors are calling the cops because they think it's a domestic disturbance but I don't live with anyone.

Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat, quit, read forums, have a few laughs and don't log back into the game. I'm thinking maybe if I stay up late enough when there are a lot fewer people playing, maybe I can play the game then.

Forget about catching undaunted pledges, nobody will be around. Forget about Cyrodiil, it will be nothing but crickets, forget about anything except question.

I have to ask myself, why would I spend any money on this game? Why would I subscribe? Why would I play it if all it does is anger me when I just want to relax and enjoy myself?

The only people that can possibly be blamed are the managers who refuse to spend the money to fix what's wrong. That's it. They are bringing in a lot of cash for all the subscriptions and all the crown store items, the new content and that's what they spend money on, only things that make them money and generate pretty looking spreadsheets. They are not fixing problems because that doesn't make them more money.

Well, when we all leave because they treated us like cash cows and not customers, they might start to understand and realize where they went wrong. But by that time, the game will be ruined and they will be looking for new jobs.

Why am I doing this to myself.
