Yes I read it.

Now that we have hundreds and hundreds (and hundreds!) of hours of questing content, enough for four or five regular RPGs, we are hearing from our new players that the sheer number of zones and stories and characters is intimidating. And, on the other hand, our veteran players consistently tell us that they would like more content that isn't played through just once—they would like more content they can enjoy for years; content that utilizes our already existing zones to add new things to do, and most importantly, introduces some new gameplay.

Players have been saying for years that we need a better way to play through the story, as even seasoned players are getting lost. Give different DLC story starters/prologues different quest arrow colors(or DLC related icon in the arrow), to differentiate them from eachother. Add a clear and easy way to play through the entire story in chronological order, with a clear point where to start, and where/how to continue from where you were last. That alone would help massively!
That said: The game having this much content, and expanding content, is a good thing. But there should be something guiding the path to get through it all.

Wouldn't the issue about veteran players be solved if you make zones that are entirely replayable somehow(full zones of daily quests)?... like for example: a completely hostile zone with one small town left standing, this entire zone consists entirely of locked daily quests. As the zone is completely taken over by hostile forces, the more and more daily quests players do, the more of the zone becomes under player control again. The only dailies unlocked at first are a few in town. Once enough players do those town dailies, more and more of the town's surroundings become friendly, unlocking more daily quests in those now friendly areas. The further away from town, the more dailies need to be completed by the entire playerbase to unlock those parts. This way players can keep replaying entire zones, as the entire zone consists of daily quests. But only as long as players keep doing those dailies, as the unlocked areas are only unlocked for a specific period of time, unless more dailies are completed! (This would also open up the game to a new type of guild: zone guilds, aming to unlock and keep unlocked entire zones)
TLDR: Make entire zones filled with daily quests.

Q3: Focus on Quality-of-Life improvements and bug fixes.

This is good, but do you have an idea of which QoL features to pick? And which players these QoL features are aimed at?
As when you add QoL which is already found in add-ons, or better in add-ons, many players will say "meh". While players without add-ons will be happy. Maybe it would be cool to make a stickied thread where players can suggest QoL features. After which you could create a poll(or multiple) to see which QoL features add-on and non add-on players most want.

and an update devoted to a large new tentpole system.

Really curious about this!

Not related to a quote: Nothing is mentioned about space: Inventory, bank, furniture, character slots, etc. Will there be any news on that?

Thank you for your post about ESO, here's to hoping we get many many many more good years of ESO!

Actually, one thing that popped in my head as I read what Firor wrote was some sort of a "New Game +" mode. People have asked for a way to repeat these quests, and he spent a lot of time elaborating on one time quests.

That thought occurred to me as well, but I dismissed it as I haven't actually heard anyone ask for NG+ for ages. It would be the one thing that would make me extremely happy, though.
