I worry about the negativity on the forums scaring new players off, and hope they remember that !) pvp'ers always complain a lot in every game, and the biggie that forums are only a small number of the playerbase, and tend to post when having problems, instead of praise (human nature).
I am sure there are legit issues, or it wouldnt be such a popular topic, but take it with knowledge of how forums operate.

Sometimes I hear people talking like the sky is falling and I think how smooth things have been for me. Then I have a day where I get booted 4 times, not even in Cyrodiil. And when I change zones in recent weeks I have like a 33% chance of being booted to the login screen.
It's mostly because you have not been to endcontent, yet. Questing works flawlessly and most people that spend money on TESO are probably questers which is the reason that many old players are afraid that ZoS is only catering new players who don't expect more from TESO than questing (solo).
Go to dungeons, trials or cyrodiil during primetime (especially at t he weekend) and you see for yourself.

No, PC NA DOES NOT perform well. Not unless your version of well is rubberbanding, roll backs, desyncs, skills not working, bars not swapping, stuck in combat, and health bar desync is "performs pretty well".
The people saying things are working well either don't play end game content or have some other motive for not reporting the situation accurately.

Yeah let's just downplay the issues. Maybe I'm just crazy that my skills and attacks dont register not only for me but for the rest 100% of people that play pvp on console. No problem at all. Just because they dont come here to complain doesn't mean they have no issues, only the most hardcore and dedicated players come to the forums and complain. Others just leave and that's that.
All zenimax care about is new players and new subscribers to make their money and forget about the old school players. I finally cancelled my subscription due to the direction on the game. Anything that stands out or is powerful gets nerfed. They constantly break the way the game functions and just leave it in a rubbish state. Skills don’t fire when used. Animation cancelling is almost history (probably because new player get destroyed by it) pvp laaag is an absolute joke and they are selling this product without fixing it. Was one a brilliant game and would still be ok if they cared about fixing things instead of how to make the next quick dollar
I may one day pay to play this game again but for now I’d like an apology for selling me such a broken product
I play on PC EU which everyone says is a disaster of a server. Most of the game's absolutely fine. Overland I've never had any issues, except the odd loading screen in craglorn. Group dungeons are fine barring some issues with group finder. Trials seem to have some problems but I rarely do them now. Cyrodiil is a mixed bag; sometimes it's fine, sometimes it's not depending on load but I wouldn't say it's unplayable. Does the game have some issues - sure. Would they stop you playing - I doubt it. The only thing that might is if the server crashes. That happens but no more than other games I've played. Alot less than some of them tbh.

The PVE and questing is fun, but so far what I've been enjoying the most is my time PVPing in Cryodiil. I'm still only level 40 but even then it's still a lot of fun PVPing with different groups and participating in their discords (I've always enjoyed PVP the most in the different MMORPGs i've played).
I only have the base game + Marrowind, and I was thinking about getting ESO+. I was doing some research to see if it was worth subscribing and I was ultimately led to the forums... and boy does the community here paint a completely different picture of the state of ESO.
So the main complaints i keep seeing is server lag and server performance that will never get fixed... However, with my time playing I have not experienced this crippling, unplayable lag in cyrodiil. Sure I've had some spikes in ping and drop in FPS, but it was never to the point where it was unplayable (mind you i am on a NA PC server). Am I just lucky? or is this more of an issue for the EU servers and Console players? or is it because i'm not experienced enough to see the server lag?
Ultimately I am asking because I've been browsing the forums quite a bit the past few days, and sadly it makes me not want to subscribe, yet alone continue playing due to the fact that the developers does not care about PVP and its performance. Is all of this really true? or are you all just fake news :P.
