I'll start this off. Pre U35 I was at least a few hours a day. Now I'm down to 10 minutes now...pop in, get daily reward, upgrade horses on alts, log out. I was hoping to not be a casualty of U35, but sadly I am. I haven't played DPS since.
the amount of time i play this game is virtually unchanged
in fact my DPS toon at least my stamplar with 1 skill change and some gear changes, is doing more dmg than ive ever been able to do
i never even did vet blackrose prison before U35, but ive completed it like 3-4 times since U35 came out (doing healer or dps roles)
even been essentially farming vet dreadsail reef trial and almost 100% gear collected from there
so if anything, i would say ive probably been playing equal or more than my usual avg (mon-thurs usually play about 6 hours, fridays probably about 8-10 hours, weekends probably 10-14 hours) lol
i have my main house (grand topal hideaway) listed in the housing tours, it has multiple target dummies, scribing altar, and grandmaster stations (in progress being filled out), as well as almost every antiquity furnishing on display to preview them
Trying to make the most of this event, as it gives quite a bit of resources for me who does the crafting dailies every day on 18 characters. Both the double node drops and the event boxes, does add up quite a bit.
Other than that, I have so far taken 4 characters through entire High Isle to 100% complete the zone(excluding books and ToT). And am working on the fifth character to do so, while also planning a sixth. But that one will depend on how fast I can do this fifth, and if I still feel like it.
I will say this I haven't known a group of regulars being on like this since I played Everquest...I mean yeah you have your "daily runners" but that is really how most of them play all games like this. They run in grab their dailies and get out....lore, genre, don't really matter just those sweet sweet dailies...

I say 1-3 but it is definitely closer to 1 right now. But, my playtimes fluctuate throughout the year whenever F76 has a new season or update, or when ESO has new updates. It could be 1 hour this week, and over Nov, Dec, Jan I average 4-5 hours.
I also like to use the lulls to refresh on the game and not get burnt out. Because even with only around an hour a day for the last few weeks, I am still at like 3-4 hours per day average on the year.
I play on two servers-- on PC NA during one session, then on PC EU during another session. Each session usually lasts from 2 to 4 hours, depending on what the endeavors are and whether an event is going on. In rare cases I'll play for less than 2 hours, or more than 4 hours, per server, but my average is about 3 hours per server, plus or minus an hour.
Not a lot, but no less than it was before whichever update everyone is currently annoyed about.
ESO isn't my only hobby, it's not even my only MMO so I'm never going to spend hours every day on it. I play when I feel like it, when I don't I do something else, like any game.

My combat playstyle was pretty much unchanged with this update (which is REALLY why you made this poll - to voice your discord about the combat changes)
Thus my playtime has also remained unchanged and will likely continue to remain unchanged. My playtime is dictated by my real life work and play schedule and is really not affected by a few mundane combat changes.
I like to feel that I'm stronger mentally than that. I don't get butthurt every time someone changes the little things on me. The way some people react to stuff like this really makes me wonder how they make it in the real world.
Only reason i generally play so little anymore isn't cause of the state of the game itself but cause of the community the bulling and hate towards PVE or PVP at this point anymore. Go to Imperial city get bullied, go to Cyroidill and guess what bullied some more, go to PVE and guess what there much the same more bulling.
So, I just cut back on my playtime with the game till it is handled properly by the staff of the company getting tired of sending the reports on the same players for the same things over and over again.
Right now I'm logging in every day for the event, so in a way my playtime is a bit higher than usual. Overall it hasn't changed, though. I always make a point to participate in events that don't require a group and aren't pvp because they're one of my favored activities.
i have fun with my necro, i love necro... but it isn't enough, questing isn't enough, i just open the game and don't know what to do, just stand there looking around and maybe do a daily...idk i just don't feel like doing anything.
I am @fluffypallascat pc eu if someone wants to play together

Playtime has been reduced by a health issue making it difficult to use mouse / keyboard for past few weeks.
I appear to be responding to treatment and I hope to increase my playtime over the next few weeks.
