I've been playing about a week now. Solo, none of my friends can put down ESO for awhile.
So don't do much Freeplay. It seems boring,
What do you do in Freeplay?

none of my friends can put down ESO for awhile. Can relate, I can't put ESO down either. Will be spending $700 for a new motherboard and CPU just so I can have a smoother ESO experience.

I fly around exploring. Looking for secrets, runes, crafting mats. And of course world events for all kinds of challenges. Most of my playtime is on contracts and strongholds though.

Fly around looking for things to fight, Freelancers to help and materials to harvest. It's the best way to get materials.
You can also discover runes to progress the Arcanist quests and find various items of lore to add to the Codex. World Events trigger which can big battles, fixing Striders or just taming shaper relics by collecting echoes and returning them to the relic. You can explore strange and beautiful architecture, practice prolonging your flying by skimming rivers or waterfalls etc.
I find it less intense and more relaxing than the missions but it's a good way to get Daily/Weekly quests done.

I've been playing about a week now. Solo, none of my friends can put down ESO for awhile. So don't do much Freeplay. It seems boring, What do you do in Freeplay? Not much of anything the past 2 days due to the insane amount of "server disconnects" and/or errors I'm getting. When I do have a stable connection I just collect materials and see what's out there to do. I'll run into a boss from time to time but the problem with that is usually nobody else is around to assist. And of course when you die...well we know what happens then. It's just a place to go to chill for me.

Running my twink Javelins on Hard, trying to get gear for them. My Ranger has done 18 world events, and only found five different skills (fifth skill on the 18th event). So stupid.
Currently kitting out my Interceptor for crafting mats farming.

More of a chilling area, testing and collecting.
When I'm messing around before a R/L time deadline it's also a pleasant place to be.

I fly around looking for crafting mats and world events. When I unlocked a new Javelin I would try it out in Freeplay before I used it in missions or strongholds.
I wish the PC had a text chat window, because no one really communicates in Freeplay. That way someone could just type world event, boss, or something like that in chat. Then a mark with coordinates or something would show up on the other players maps. I think you would get more cooperative play during this mode if this were the case because players could explore on their own, stop to do an event, and then go back to what they were doing.

Even if there was just a general ping or something and could announce a world event to the other players currently in Freeplay.. that would help a lot I think. Most time in Freeplay I'm just harvesting, or world events if I can manage to solo depending on what they are.

In freeplay mostly lone wolf it in search of world events and outlaws. Since there is no outlaw stronghold yet, find the need to search for them in freeplay to balance it out for faction challenges. So this works as a nice little freeplay incentive on the side.
Also during freeplay is best time to pop some music and YouTube chatter for background noise.

I don't mind the bosses being hidden. But world events should be marked on the map when they spawn, or at least pop up when you get close to them. But either way, players need to be able to mark things on the map for each other. Otherwise there's no reason to force matchmaking, just let people play private.

I mostly look for world events and individual chests but I also harvest crafting materials, apparently I have a really keen eye for spotting them. But I also try to grab collectibles and landmark locations, etcetera. My only complaint about Freeplay is the XP is shitty. Other than that it’s pretty fun!

World events for daily challenges and Challenge of Valor. I wept when I saw the Challenge of Valor rewards - Graphic: Reaver, 4,000 Coin, 10 Epic Ember, 10 Masterwork Ember. All that grind of 100 Events, 25 Strongholds, 25 Contracts, and 25 Quickplay missions.

You can find pretty intense battles in freeplay even outside of world events. Some of the caves can be especially challenging when you solo them on harder difficulties.

Yeah, I've been seeking these out and have run across a nice mix of Dominion, Outlaws and Scars depending on what dungeon I'm going into. I go out on "Hard" setting with 3 Epic sigil boosts and try to maximize my time and come away with a few Masterwork weapons and gear for my troubles. Honestly, though, it may be getting a tad easy as half of my components is Mastework, I have Masterwork grenade and both my Weapons are Masterwork so I may need to bump it up to GM1 to see how large of a boosts in difficulty it is...

Grandmaster I ain’t a huge step. Things still die pretty quickly to Masterwork weapons (especially good ones), but they also inflict quite a bit more damage. I get one-hit-killed by stuff very easily.

Once I'm on fire, even if at full health, I get to watch it gently pulse towards death.

Trying to not die as Interceptor in GM1 I have a Rare Interceptor at 450 and my very first Legendary Contract on GM1 was one where we ended up in an arena where there were three items to activate in order to finish the mission. Myself and two others basically simultaneously activated them all...and unleashed three Ash Titans at once. I died a lot...

Lately I've been looking for more underwater areas to explore. There are some amazing things down there, and it seems like a higher number of treasure chests plus plenty of mats.
