I didnt manage to get off the Islands so I have some questions about the actual game..

1. Will merchanting exist and will I be able to get rich by trading?

Merchanting was one of my favourite things to do back in Runescape before 2007 and was very profitable. I would it if there was lots of trading going on in ESO a but like world2 Fally in the good old days.

2. Is siege influenced by character build at all?

I like the idea of being a support role and bringing siege equipment to the battlefield. Does your build influence what equipment you can obtain and/or how you use it?

3. Bows - Are they really that bad?

Shoddycast really didnt like the bow system, is it underpowered?

Thanks for your time.

I can answer #2 - character build does not affect what siege equipment you can purchase, use or the manner in which you use it.

Thanks, kind of disappointing really as it sounds like it has more or less just been slapped in without any sort of requirement/preparation process.
