Weapon swap lag/delay and clunky combat animations that causes ability lag! Needs fix!

The weapon swap delay needs to be addressed quick. It feels unpredictable and laggy (sometimes you end up swapping twice since it is slow and unresponsive) Same with the clunky combat and ability lag.
This weapon swap delay and clunky combat lag is a problem that affects EVERYTHING we do in the game! It truly hurts the gameplay experience, and it is FRUSTRATING to play the game in this state. Frustrating to play something we are supposed to pay every month for...
Many reviewers from large sites have also stated how this is truly bad, and everyone I know from guilds, IRL etc thinks it hurts the game a lot. Remember, this is a core mechanic that isn't working at the moment.
This is a video i found on youtube that shows just one part of the weapon swap issues: He is pressing weapon swap button continuesly, but it is very random and unpredictable still.

cromica81_ESO✭✭✭The lag and abilities not going off is really annoying. If I try to chain abilities together they tend to not work but if I throw a light attack in then it's all fine. If needs to be fixed.Edited by cromica81_ESO on April 27, 2014 2:05PM3

Seraseth✭✭✭✭I mainly have issue with 1 ability, crystal shards. When I use that to start combat, sometimes I have to hit the button 2-3 times before the spell goes off. When the monster see's me first and I'm trying to get the spell off before it reaches me, it's really frustrating.1 -
Asava✭✭✭I love it when my ability bar "locks" and I can't switch weapons even if there's now animation/spell being cast.0

✭Reliable weapon swapping is currently worse than it has been before. I wonder if it is related with latency because it used to be more responsive. it really ought to be changed so that it cancels everything just like blocking.- The Psijic Order

Asava✭✭✭Also keep in mind how our inputs are counted in the game. Our abilities fire upon RELEASE of the key. Test it yourself. Hold down a number for one of your attacks, nothing happens. Release the key and your ability fires. Most people are used to click input and not release input.0

monkeymystic✭✭✭✭✭If you never had this problem, I doubt you are used to other games or have a good reaction time then..
Because the combat in ESO is very bad compared to other MMOs in terms of responsiveness. And the weapon swap is just very clunky and laggy when you are used to other MMOs that doesnt lag like this.
SWtor had a similar clunky combat flaws at release, and they had to fix it fast (they fixed a lot of it) because people got tired of it and quit. This is something Zenimax should have learned from.1 -
