Cast times are bad for the game

As in the title. Once again, I would like to emphasize that cast times (wherever they may be) do not solve any problems but only cause more frustration and I think most players will agree with me on this. Can we count on you ZOS to at least consider removing them?
"We are currently investigating connection issues some players are having on the European megaservers. We will update as new information becomes available."
— They always claim they’re “investigating” the causes, but in reality they’re just waiting until the PC EU players go to bed. Once that happens, you can suddenly log in again and they happily mark the issue as Fixed.

    some casting skills i think make sense

    others, feel kind of out of place

    NB teleport strike for example, the .4 sec cast time feels like nonsense and is probably there so it properly plays the animation

    stuff like "snipe" makes sense to have a cast time, because your doing a long distance shot that has to be aimed

    from a balance perspective stuff like crystal frags would have to be hugely nerfed dmg wise if it could not be interrupted

    i think a lot of this thing about cast times is more problematic in pvp mainly due to the lag, if it has a cast time, the chance it fires correctly in lag goes way down and leads to spamming the key to try to get it to work

    if casts/channels were removed, pvp would get a lot harder as there would be no use of interrupt skills
