I'm not quite sure what the update did or the maintenance after that, but ZOS, you may have a saboteur on the team. I'd check on that. It almost feels like intentional bad performance.
10 minute zone transitions. Account is already logged in (it's not, you booted me), 1 second login queue (a complete lie, it's infinite), 5 minutes to log out to character select.
I don't really want to be overly negative, but it's really easy lately.
As of today's maintenance (sharding database), I am finding that about 50% of my toons can not log out, have 7, and all do crafting, so cycle through all 7 every morning. So the only option when logout fails is to hit the "X" in the upper right corner (use window mode, not full screen) and restart the game. No log-in problems noticed so far.
