Forever Beta Feedback Dungeon XP Nerfs Created a Toxic Meta

Since dungeon monsters do not give any experience, as a new player, getting into dungeons with more veteran players who try to skip half the dungeon feels really bad. And, vice-versa, veterans taking in newbies who don't know how to jump around feels frustrating. I think Blizzard created a mess with nerfing dungeon exp so much and now the new player experience is horrible for dungeons.

Absolutely foreseeable outcome

Boosting is also going to still exist with the new changes. You'll get a mage sharing the dungeon quests, clearing it once with the group while they follow behind, then dropping a mage portal to the best hand in spot.

So instead of multiple runs for the mob xp, you just do a single slower run at a higher price point.

Blizz has iq of wet rock so it will take around 6 months for them to understand

Hopefully it's faster when they realize that tanks and healers will start HRing drops and being super picky about who to bring since they'll want to run the dungeon as little as possible. Before we at least got xp as a consolation prize, so running repeats was whatever, now they'll want loot asap so they can go back to questing.

Such a great alternative to what normally happens. /s

This is the issue. I always tank or heal. What my incentive for inviting competition with randoms. So they can take the item and not have to rerun, but I have to rerun for no xp?

Ohh don't worry if you think what happens before is bad you will be shocked this time. I always play tank and never said not to anyone guildy for dungeon run or even invited same loot type people to group. This time no chance I cant risk going in same dungeon if there is no exp if you wear same thing with me even dps gear you will be keep questing no dungeons for you. Dps players should play cloth or mail or they will see dungeons from youtube:) oh sorry cloth is also off limits because my healer bro will hr them.
