As many people here are complaining about this and that, let me remind you of a pretty cool feature which should be coming after console launch and maybe after Orsinium; Spellcrafting.
Basically, spellcrafting will be providing us with ~600 new spells. Yeah. "In a very intensive data mining effort, I have found 20 spellcrafting spells in the game files. These 20 spells with 6 focuses each and 5 different tablet qualities represent 600 new spell effect combinations for ESO. ZOS has said that Spellcrafting is a “system” and will not be DLC. It will be a free update upon its release."
Here are some screenshots of spellcrafted skills;
Reading through the reddit article should show you the complexity of such a system and the time needed to implement it properly with a fitting balance.
This is an update I'm really itching to get my hands on! I've always played mage characters in ES games and most of them (my main, big Basil, especially) liked to make their own spellings.
RIP Atherton, my beautiful little gentle friend. I will miss you forever. Without you I am a hollow shell.
Gameplay designer in charge of that left the company.
They said "it's on the back burner"
It's cool but it's not coming. It will never be. Bury it already.

Restoration is a perfectly valid school of magic, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! - Spells and incantations for those with the talent to cast them!
