Is there something similar to WoW raids in TESO?
For me, raids in an MMO is most fun. This is why I always loved WoW, however, I wondered if theres something like raids in TESO? Like really really hard bosses which you can waste your whole sunday on even if you have a team of experts :D

I found It really surprising that it was this hard to find some Information about raids in TESO but I finally found an article that should describe it. Unfortunately I can't tell these things from personal experience in TESO but rather from 5 years of Progress-Raiding in WoW and Research about TESO raids.
If you're asking whether or not raids like in WoW are in Teso the answer is NO.
If you're asking whether or not raids or something similar exits the answer depends on your view of a "Raid".
Now let me first explain why raids like in WoW can't exist:
TESO uses a completely different and less complex combat system when compared to WoW, but it also uses a much more complex role system.
While the combat is simpler than in WoW, you are not restricted when it comes to class developement. You can play a Healtank/Smiter/Supporter/Offtank well basically everything you want. This offers a lot of different tactics for content while In WoW the only variations you will find are things like "Oh let's try this boss with 1 Heal respeccing for DPS" which doesn't make too much of a difference.
When it comes to something that can compete with WoW raids in terms of length there will be nothing. As Zenimax stated the length of a Trial (which is basically a 12 man "Raid") will be around 0.5 to 1.5 hours which is nothing in comparison to a Real WoW raid. Also a thing is the limitation of resurrections in Trials. Currently you can be resurrected 60 times otherwise the trial will end (Think of it like the Hardmode-Crusader Raid)
For the difficulty I'm not completely sure. The game definitely has the potential to be far more challenging than WoW but as already mentioned... Whether something is difficult or not is a really opinion based thing.
Here I also found an article about endgame content which describes everything a bit more detailed.

Are there raids in ESO?
These are casual raids, at the various ESO "Normal Mode" Raid Trials (Aetherian Archives, Hel Ra Citadel, Sanctum Ophidia, Maw of Lorkhaj, Halls of Fabrication and more) with an emphasis on "Learning". All members of all experiences are welcomed to attend these raids.Is ESO better than WoW?
ESO is far and away better for casual content. It's not even a contest. Likewise for WoW with raiding content. Both games have mediocre pvp.Where can I find RAID groups in ESO?
The Grouping Tools feature enables players to search for groups and raids. Press the [P] key to open the Group panel. From there, click on the magnifying glass icon located on the right side of the window, and press [R] to look for a group.Should I play Teso?
It's so refreshing to play an MMO where the experience you get from quests can't just be measured by your character's XP bar. Those quests (along with the game's excellent dungeons and raids) are a big part of the reason why ESO is generally considered to be one of the best PvE MMO games out there.MMORPG Tier List 2022
