[We've been looking closely at the Veteran system, and we want it to be more exciting to get to level 50. In order to take on the Veteran system, we have to use an approach that addresses several key components:

Itemization – we’ll add gear that’s harder to acquire but more worthwhile. We're looking at gear that will make others envious when you’re wearing or wielding it—both in appearance and in stat boosts. To do this, we’ll adjust soft caps so that they don't kick in quite as quickly. We have to be very careful about how much we adjust numbers, because the greater the variance, the more people can hurt their intended builds.
Veteran Ranks - we're looking at giving you more "points" to spend when you hit a Veteran Rank. This is at a very, very early stage, but essentially, we want to keep the great customization you have for your character from 1-50 and allow you to continue augmenting it in meaningful ways. Our goal is to let you have many more fun character development decisions post level 50.
More content - We're going to continue providing more content on a regular basis. Veteran Dungeons, areas like Craglorn, Trials, and etc. Further, we’re going to allow dungeons to level to the group leader. This means you'll be able to go back and play any dungeon to get rewards appropriate for your group leader’s level.
That’s all for this Road Ahead. Once again, thank you all for your enthusiasm and support. There’s a lot to look forward to in the coming months, and we’ll continue providing updates like this one so you know what’s ahead! See you online!] All this from June 4th road ahead

Id say this stuff will likely be next two updates. Champion system guilds and such are a pipe dream for 2014 or early 2015

LONGER-TERM UPDATES
We have lots more planned for ESO beyond the above—Update 3 is scheduled to arrive sometime in July. It will focus on player customization systems like armor dyeing, guild insignias and tabards, and it will also be the start of the rework of our delves (smaller dungeons) to make them much larger and give them more worth exploring.

We’re also starting to re-work many quests in the game so we can greatly reduce the chances of you being separated from your party in different "layers" as you explore Tamriel. This is an ongoing effort, but you’ll see the problem alleviated over the course of the summer. We’ll also introduce more Veteran Dungeons, another area of Craglorn with an all-new Trial, and much, much more. Stay tuned for details.

Longer term updates means updates down the road not the June one.

If you look at what they promised would be in this update was.

You are correct sir. I am a bit skeptical from pre launch Marketing double speak. Like the 7 month push back for launch was for polishing and getting craglorn in at launch. and the guilds would be in shortly after.

in all honesty we have not gotten content that they didn't market as launch before they launched. was not until roughly 6 weeks before that they said craglorn wouldn't be in. well after pre orders were opened.

i don't remember them pushing back launch 7 months for Craglorn to be in. But I only came in at the last month or so of Beta. I believe they did polish it up but after the initial influx and it going actually live more things came to light. I can understand being skeptical with the push back of consoles also. But so far the road aheads themselves have been pretty spot on. But they also don't come that far ahead of the updates themselves. I believe (and remember this is personal opinion) they don't release them sooner because they don't know whats going to be in. I believe they have several teams working on different content at once and whenever the 6 weeks draws close then they look at which team is closest to being done then base the road aheads off that. (Again that's speculation.)
