My guild Ninja Pulls (PC EU) made a video about how to repair the damage caused by Update 35. I'm basically here to plug it, but I also think it might
help restore some unity in the ESO community.
It started as a feedback video in PTS week 1, but grew and morphed into a broader evidence-backed examination of where ZOS made mistakes and how these can be fixed, either immediately or over the long term. It also exemplifies how the typical group-PvE player on EU views this whole episode. Maya, who owns the guild, did a nice job of representing our collective views and keeping her criticisms balanced, while setting out what both sides can do to avoid repeating the nastiness and despair of the last few weeks!
I think it's well worth watching for players and developers alike. Thanks.

Here's the TLDR:
1. Why a 'power gap' exists and why Update 35 was always going to make it worse.
2. More proof that the original Light & Heavy Attack nerfs were BAD for lower-end players.
3. Powerful & accessible playstyles already exist, so ZOS were killing the fun for nothing.
4. Communication in both directions should be significantly improved.
Hope some of you enjoy it.
