I think "bug free" is entirely unrealistic and not what people are expecting. I've experienced my fair share of MMO bugs before. They just usually aren't as huge and frequently occurring as the ones ESO updates have been introducing are. The game is still young and bugs can be expected, but this is also still a critical time where people are developing impressions of the game. Being forced not to play for an entire week because the game is broken can make some unwilling to ever return.

I dont burn through the content too fast , because i dont even bother doing the new content at all.

The point im making is , since they decided to add content of only one kind per update , all the time from one update till the next it adds again new content of a certain kind leaves a part of the playerbase without anything new to do.

Which means , if they plan on really only giving attention to a share of their players each time , they better run even faster.

The pace is fine, could be sped up. Their priorities are terrible though. And their kneejerk reactions are driving people away.

The problem is their disregard for bug reports through the PTS and not providing testers with the correct tools to test everything.

Also, the whole adding things that weren't even tested is also causing a lot of problems.

Which is funny because they begged for more testers with the last road ahead, yet when people test the game, their feedback goes unnoticed and the bug reports don't accomplish anything and things make it to live that aren't even tested.

Too slow, not because I burn through the content but because I simply can't wait for the good updates to drop.

I check the notes, if it doesn't have anything I'm interested in I rather not spend valuable time doing it when I can be pvping.

I was tempted to vote too fast, but then I thought - pace is not the problem, execution is. Doesn't matter whether they release updates every 6 weeks, 2 weeks or 3 months - as long as they push changes in spite of them being /bugged on the PTS.

I'd like to see more focused updates. Now the patch notes list dozens of completely unrelated changes (and some are not even listed), each of which might break something. By pushing them live all at once, not only are ZOS increasing the chances of breaking things really bad, they're also making it more difficult for themselves to identify what exactly causes which bug.

New content should be released stand-alone. So that if it's broken, you can continue playing what you played before.

Changes to existing mechanics, skills, quests, mobs, shops, etc. should be pushed as soon as they pass testing, so that they don't accumulate. If a change is /bugged on the PTS, immediately remove it from the next update. Pushing things you know are bugged onto live servers is the lamest thing imaginable.

Im fine/appreciative of the pace, though I look forward to the some difficult solo content or the imperial city more than more group content. Some content diversity would be nice. All in due time, though.

The pace of the updates is generally too slow for me. The updates have not been large (except for the first one) so a true 4-6 week window instead of the 6-8 week window we currently have should be easily obtainable, especially if they stopped padding the updates with things that do not need to be changed or added.

That being said, the number of bugs - sometimes significant and easily noticeable - included in the updates is staggering and embarrassing. Seriously, how did the plain as day crafting interface bug ever make it from the PTS where it was reported as a bug and noted in the PTS bugs thread on the forums almost three weeks before release?

ZOS has a major structural issue at hand which they need to resolve. Either they need to hire competent developers and QA personnel or they need to start paying attention to and fixing the issues reported by players on the PTS. Preferably, they should do both. Otherwise they will alienate even more players as they bungle future updates.

I cannot speak for every facet of the game, but I think the pace is fine. Especially since they have so many updates to push out.

But the the question of is it too fast or is it to slow will always have people on either side. The way I see it is that no one is ever going to be 100% happy with anything. That's nearly impossible, so give the devs a break, they are working on the problems everyone is always complaining about.
