I'm think of returning, but have one concern...

I played ESO when it came out, I really liked the exploring aspects of the game, but I ended up quitting because every time I would discover a dungeon, there would be a large of people standing and waiting for the boss to spawn and the boss would be down inside of 2 seconds. My question to the community is: is this type of thing still occurring?

    You are describing the problem with the bots when the game launched.   The bots are gone and dungeon and world bosses have not been camped in months.  I repeat:  The problem you described is gone.

    Yep, the bots are gone and they have also been expanding the dungeon delves to make them larger with more monsters and loot. The game has had a lot of positive improvements but still needs some work on the end game content IMO.

    Ah that's interesting that they are increasing ths size of the dungeons, does that apply across all levels? I ask as I liked the potential of eso but the generic nature put me off initially.

    Right now - a number of public dunegons across levelys. But not all, not yet anyway.

     

    I do know they are planing on changing them all.

    The botting has gone, they moved on to other MMOs. But to be honest if that alone is reason to quit a MMO, you need to have a serious think about why you are playing them and what you expect to get out of them.

    They have been doing rolling updates to the zones. It's an ongoing effort but they plan to hit them all eventually if I'm not mistaken. You can catch some of this info in the last few patch notes if you care to go back and read them.

    No, the gear power is all the same at v14. There are just a lot of different flavors. The flavors come from crafting, Cyrodiil and trials.

    That's pretty cool then, so will future gear sets be new skins and stay combinations that all can Access? (assuming you work at it - longer the better)

    main reason for no bots on the bosses from teh dungeon anymore was because they don't drop anything anymore right?
    FOR HONOR, FOR FREEDOM.... and for some money.

    There are several reasons to why there are no bots anymore.  They do drop what they used to drop but they made it so its not profitable to sit there and wait for the respawns. 

    I think there is an internal cooldown for the drops or something around those lines.

    Zenimax are relentless with cheaters and banned thousands of them and the game is well scripted and majority of the spells are server side and hard to exploit compared to other titles like "cough cough" archeage.
