CuppaJo started a new Official Mez Issues Thread.

This thread is to post test data about and discuss holds/mez in the arena. Here are the most recent patch notes on the issue -

Confuse does not have a suppression timer.

Knock back suppression timer is separate from the combined fear/disorient/hold/immobilize timer.

Controller Ancillary Powers will now correctly do triple damage when a target is held, stunned, disoriented or immobilized. (PvP only)

Set all Disorient, Hold, Sleep, Immobilize and Fear to suppress each other in PvP. That is, if you affected by any of those control effects in PvP, you cannot be affected by any of those control effects for 15 seconds.

Here's the Thread

I do indeed think the server is afraid of the thursday throwdown.
We got a fix applied and we will continue to monitor. Thanks!
