Zenimax cannot suspend players because their game crashed or their internet connection was lost while in Cyrodiil. All campaigns would be empty.

If you get disconnect or alt+f4 while in cyrodiil combat you are still in cyrodiil combat and get killed (you just cant see it) except when you are already in loading screen out of Cyrodiil which is still porting out mid-fight except you are at the same position as before when logging in.

So you're telling me that if I'm in Cyrodiil, queue for IC, accept the queue when it comes up, and then get jumped by someone while the game has just started the process of porting me out if Cyrodiil and into IC, you want me to get punished for it?

Screw that. I don't use add-ons in ESO, ever. And even though queuing from Cyrodiil to IC is usually very quick, players have a full minute within which to accept the queue, plus it can take a second or 2 after accepting the queue before the game moves you out of Cyrodiil. And yes, I've been attacked before during that brief second or 2.

If you want the devs to remove the ability to queue from Cyrodiil to IC, or from IC to Cyrodiil, you can try coming up with some sort of reasonable and feasible alternative, then suggest it to them and hope they eventually adopt your suggestion (but don't hold your breath, because even if they do adopt your suggestion, it will take months if not years to get implemented).

But if you want the devs to punish players for using a legitimate mechanic that the devs themselves put into the game, I must strongly and vehemently object.

And what about being queued for a dungeon or other group activity while you're in a PvP zone? Or using a keep recall stone in Cyrodiil, or a sigil of Imperial retreat in IC? Can you tell whether a player who vanished as you were attacking them hadn't just accepted a dungeon queue or used one of those items? Are you asking that those things should be disabled in Cyrodiil, or that players should be punished for using them? [Edit: Apparently a Sigil of Imperial Retreat can be interrupted by moving, so I assume that includes getting nudged by a guard or NPC who's walking by, or getting attacked by a player. I'm not sure if Keep Recall Stones can also be interrupted. But accepting a dungeon queue and getting attacked while the game is in the process of removing you from Cyrodiil or IC does not interrupt the process.]

No thanks!

True, but by the same token, no one really lost anything if a player in combat ports out of Cyrodiil. In the same token, there is no real risk of dying in Cyrodiil outside of being stuck in combat after resing at a keep.

That means there is no reason to hand down a punishment, let alone a heavy-handed suspension.

Anyone who disagrees can report the player for harassment. Whisper them before combat to not port out, and if they do, then report them.

Let's not give Support yet more context-sensitive incidents to evaluate.

There's plenty of legitimate reasons to port while in combat. And while the combat bug is still as prominent as it is, it would be nonsensical to effectively trap players in Cyrodiil for like half an hour because they can't use the wayshrine while in combat.

Then there's disconnects, players who suddenly have to leave and just force quit the game, a queue popping that they had been in before the fight even started.

In the end it's simple. If someone ports out of Cyro or IC in order to dodge a fight, they admit defeat. Laugh at it and move on.

I only port put to get rid of the combat bug or resolve the dumb stam recovery bug or the inability to sprint bug or any other bug that plagues the game. If I need to port quickly I just take a death. Doesn’t bother me dying
