    Don't. The game is still just as buggy and broken as it ever was, except now they've added MORE grindy veteran content. Update 3 is just cosmetic changes. Wait until the justice system and other large updates roll out, then it will be worth playing again (in a year or so).
    A haven't faced a single relevant bug since some weeks. Not on my main and not on my alt. I guess, some people have already forgotten how buggy the game was when it was released.

    @madangrypally‌ , good points but especially on PvP I think the Imperial City and new long term pvp progression Ala realm ranks and better itemization (coming in 1.4 for example) , will mostly address the PVP depth for a good while to come.

    Exploits suck. Don't blame just the game, blame the players abusing them!

    The Imperial City I dont think will do enough to address it, but I never played Dark Falls so may be mistaken. Most rave about it and the Imperial City is supposed to be similar in design. Its just hard to see. I want some small scale pvp, but designed better then most MMO's BGs and Arenas.

    Cyrodil lag is the only major technical issue the game still has that effects a significant portion of the player base. I would say come back and give it a try.

    There is a great improvement in the EU mega server's connectivity.
    I live about 3k kilometers away from the actual server and it's like I live much closer to it.
    I currently have a stable 70ms latency.
    I had 600-850ms latency before the migration, which is like hell.
    Not to mention, that sometimes it would go as far as 1100ms but that's no longer the case.
    There are many seemingly positive changes in relation to Alliance war, quests, veteran system/content, guilds etc.
    Take a look on the latest patch notes which were published just after being implemented in NA mega server.
    http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/124010/patch-notes-v1-3-3#latest
    I didn't experience those changes myself because I mostly play on EU mega server but it seems they are significant in many of the game's aspects
    I have just returned after a long period of waiting to the EU migration.
    I enjoy playing with such outstanding latency but I have yet to see significant changes.
    After the above patch will be implemented on EU(at this time it was only implemented on NA), I'm certain there will be much positive thinking about the game.
    I suggest giving Zenimax one more chance because it seems the game is going in the right direction.
    It just need few more major patches like the above.
    Some videos I recorded for fun: Main character:
    PC EU main: Universe - AD magicka Sorcerer, Former Emperor, Grand Overlord, The Merciless, Trial Bosses Solo Champion
    Top alts: Genius(stamina/sagicka Dragonknight) The Force(stamina Nightblade) and other chars.
    PC NA main: The Magic - AD magicka Sorcerer

    I've been waiting for stamina ability/stamina weapons overhaul to return to the game.

    Best I've seen toward meeting that goal so far is the minor passive changes to windwalker reducing stamina ability cost 1% per armor piece, and now constitution restoring stamina and magicka when hit. Also the reducing of spell power overcharge soft cap while increasing all other overcharge caps helps too.

    Still, these are all too minor changes for such a major imbalance favoring staves.

    Still on the fence, but I'm thinking not. Not being able to loot containers in towns for provisioning materials seems pretty *** stupid a change.
