No I don’t think so, and all issues existed prior to COVID-19.
ESO’s game performance as a whole, especially on console, is truly abysmal. Keep in mind it was significantly better and then degraded overtime.
There is no excuse for that. Greymoor is having monumental launch issues and yet there is a 500 Crown Gem ($200+) mount in the Crown Store. How is that acceptable?
2k are Euro 20 if i remember right.. 21k you get for 200

No, Crown Gems.
The currency you can only earn through gambling with Crown Crates. Crown Crates are purchased with Crowns.
5000 Crowns gets you 15 Crown Crates.

I agree! But whilst ZOS are all working at home, and not in their usual ideal environment, we can't expect miracles from them. I'm sure that they are all really stressing right now about this, far more than we are! Maybe with the next update, fine, people can moan if stuff isn't fixed, but the entire world is crazy right now. Things aren't exactly working as they usually would in general. It's not fair for everybody to be bashing them when they are trying their best while not having the resources and work environment that they usually would have.

Elara, it was absolutely the same before, when there were no Covid. Each update Steam users were off the boat on patch day, and ZOS was making maintenance in the night to fix issue for Steam. And I remember there was disaster in April 2018 so big, that they prolonged anniversary event for a week.
I know, usually I would not be making a post like this, I know that it is always broken in some way, I just feel like the team dealing with this are probably under an insane amount of stress right now

Source of the problem isn't `1 more day without Greymoor`.
It's a snowball effect rolling down since quite some time and splashed the ground today with this failed launch.
I think I can simply order the problems as following;
1) Communication failures
ZoS Developer team isn't communicating enough with reasons of why they're doing stuff, in-line of what, according to what standards (as they're using this word quite a lot). Their road-map is unclear, what they have in mind is unclear and they love keeping it this way. People hate things they can't predict.
2) Hypocrisy
e.g.
They have changed let's say 2 places in-game:
1) Veteran Asylum Sanctorum +2: Now every new Concentrated Force dropped there won't have unique value, instead XXX. It's fine. But changed the weapons in our inventories too, which we dropped before Greymoor chapter. It is disadvantage for us. But happened.
2) Veteran Maelstrom Arena: Now every new Crushing Wall has changed too. And we have looted our weapons before Greymoor, but this time they don't change the weapons in our inventories. Because it is to our advantage.
This approach isn't acceptable. Either do both or don't. It's a personal decision of someone in the Developer Team and this approach cannot deserve any respect.
3) Unending and unfruitful lies:
They have promised us to eliminate or reduce in-game lags, desyncs, FPS spikes, and bugs. We have re-downloaded the whole game for this. The result was only regret & disappointment. Since I joined this game nearly 8-9 months ago, I have seen 3-4 updates which `Fixing` exactly the same things all over again. It's either game is dead, or the team is lying.
4) Dishonesty:
e.g.
Currently Followed Policy
> Buff A,B,C,D by 50%-70% (they're aware and noting this to be fixed 2 patches later)
1 month later:
> Buff E,F,G,H by 50%-70%
2 months later:
> Hammer A,B,C,D by 50/70%
1.5 months later:
> Buff P,N,R,T by 50-70%
1.5 months later:
> Hammer E,F,G,H by 50-70%
...
...
and so on.
ESO Combat Team meeting with the Managing Board:
> Yes Sir, we're constantly working & keeping up to date in accordance with the community to make sure incomes are stable & increasing.
Fact:
> They're actually creating their very own job need to secure their very own future to be able to tell "there is a roadmap" to higher echelons.
> The only real workers are "Lore team, dungeon designers, text-writers, community managers" etc.
The Combat Team:
> There is no such approach called "Buff 50% to Nerf 50% 2 months later" it's not tweaking. It's destruction. Its proof of they doesn't have any idea over what they are simply doing, proof of "No vision" at all.
> There is a somehow ticking combat system, more or less satisfying. Fine-tune it, 5-10-15% and within 6-7 months you can find a sweet spot of skills/abilities in harmony.
5) And finally, the epic launch failure with Greymoor, where people were whining in the forums since the first day about their unhappiness with many changes included, it's announced but no-one cared at all.
----
And Forum Moderators are removing messages secretly from all over the places. There is heavy censorship here. They want us to write all this on Twitter I think after tagging all devs & company owners and start a Mexican wave there. Do not remove messages like this please. It's uncivil and autocratic.
I can count more, but I will not bother myself. I just wanted to say it's not `late launch` that raging people.
Sincerely!
