    Still playing several hours like pre U35, U34, U33 XD. Why to stop? For DPS I changed the builds and don't have any problems in overland or vet trials. So I don't care about the changes in U35, I want play this game because I enjoying it even with some "drastic" changes.
    Playing both DD and T. With our group we don't have problem to do HMs. Once or twice in the week vet trial.
    But I understand that some ppl just don't like changes in U35 and left. It is noticeable.
    Even when I have other games I am still there because I have friends here and still much to do there even with changes.

    Less than an hour. I do my crafting and then on to something else. Let me be clear. For me it´s not about U35, updates including nerfs or whatever have never scared me. I have allway´s be able to play, whatever content I was able to join.

    Im not a meta player as you don´t have to be one in ESO. Meta is created by player´s.

    Im sure ZOS by now know, what I don´t like about ESO. Is it an easy fix ? I don´t know.

    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.

    As much as I love TES lore, I got a little bored...

    I do play daily, but not as frequently as I used to... Yes, the game is playable after U35, but it's not about the update itself - it's about how we, the playerbase, are treated. Or, at the very least, how we are made of feel - like whimsical children who constantly want want want, and are hardly pleased with what we've been given.

    Sure, some implementations HAVE improved the game dramatically, but when ZOS is constantly focused on making new content, however spectacular and great it is (and it is), there are so many things that can be worked upon to make this game more enjoyable. Things suggested by the playerbase.

    About the same, and it varies depending how long endeavors take to get done, and how many zones I end up doing the dailies in (usually between 3 to 5 of the newer zones). Mondays are always my longest sessions, because I do the weekly endeavor on the day if ticks over to a new week.

    U35 had a very negative impact on the two major trade guilds I'm in as well. And about 1/3rd of the PvP guild I used to play with every day have left too.

    Admittingly it is going down, but mainly for two issues.

    1) There is a lot of good games out there. And I tend to play games I buy into the ground. I think I am on my 12th(?) play through of cyberpunk at the moment. So it's not like I am playing another mmo, it's just that I only have so many hours in a day.

    2) Alts I like making alts and leveling, but I am very hesitant about deleting old ones. I don't have any space for new characters. I could buy a new account, but all of my cool customization stuff is on my one account. And I don't want to start buying crowns on two accounts so... Anyway, its not exactly a game breaking problem. But it does stop me from experimenting and leveling with alternate builds.

    I login if the Luxury vendor has an item I'm interested in collecting and during events long enough to get my event tickets (That is assuming the quarter has any event items I'm interested in). I can no longer tolerate the continual degradation of the combat system to the point you have no idea if a skill will fire or not.

    My playtime is the same as it always was, as I really only ever play this game sporadically, so my average daily playtime is tiny as most of the year I don't even have ESO installed.

    And the main reasons for that are:

    - PvP is simply bad and always has been because there is no skilled, competitive PvP mode in this game (even by the low standards of MMORPGs). Plus this game is super cheesy (again even by the low standards of MMORPGs) so I'm not sure they could even create a decent PvP mode given that.

    - Overland is way too easy, it's boring as hell. And to be clear I expect it to be easy in a general sense, but I've played other games that have world bosses, world events, etc that actually require a bit of communication, organization, etc that have some degree of challenge to the point people actually fail these world bosses / events at times, this game has none of that.

    - The trading system is terrible, I play sporadically so even if I bother to join a trading guild I will of course be kicked by the time I play the game again. Plus buying stuff in this game is a whole new level of pain unless you are the minority that like to roleplay as an antiques dealer, the result being I barely use the trading system when I play this game.

    U35 made zero difference to me or the problems this game actually has.

    I voted less than an hour, however, in my case, it needs to remove "now" from the sentence. Since I play ESO, I regularly play a maximum of one hour a day max.
    I usually dash 10 to 20 minutes, twice during the day. Once in a blue moon, I play more, up to 1 and a half hour.

    It can seem little, but ESO isn't my main game. I like it to take peaceful breaks, chilling solo and relaxing.

    Still playing a little more than three hours but am enjoying it a lot less. Templars were gutted and that's how I feel. I do a little pvp mostly repairing walls since I get killed so fast. Make alts keep them a short time and delete them. AWA ruined having alts.

    Mostly I made a mistake getting a year sub just before Update 35 so I'm stuck here.

    Aside from real life and whether or not there are any in-game events going on, about the only thing that greatly affects how much time I spend playing ESO is whether or not I'm spending much time playing any of the other TES games. I've been

    U35 hasn't had any impact at all on my ESO playtime, and neither did any of the previous updates to the game-- other than the expected increase in playtime after a new chapter or DLC drops.

    Very little. I can't even be bothered by forums much any more. New games coming out and the U35 fiasco was the last straw. I do trials with my one remaining trial guild and sometimes do progression dungeons. Mostly, though, I'd rather play something else.

    Used to play on PTS and give feedback, but after we were repeatedly ignored, I see no point in doing that anymore. They will do what they want, regardless of the player base.

    At this point, I honestly don't even login every day.... sometimes not even once a week.... and when I do, it's only for about 15 minutes; which is crazy since I used to be the type to play for 4-6+ hours before U35. Now I'm so disconnected from the game that I don't even bother worrying about the daily rewards and etc.

    Hmm. It depends on what I plan on doing. Using ESO as DnD game backdrop? I could be in game for hours but mostly just as a prop. Playing ESO to actually play it? 1-2 hrs (esp if doing raid which after 1.5 months of not running any, finally got back in to).
