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.

This is a lot less toxic than the alternative where everyone is just forming SPELL CLEAVE groups to farm dungeons over and over and over and over.

Blame min-max mentality not the dungeon change

If the problem is spell cleave, wouldn't it make more sense to just nerf spells and cleaves?

Or they could adjust the dungeons to make skips more difficult to do. Wider aggro radius, add a wall here and there, stuff like that

No. The goal is to get players interacting out in the open world. Hence the campsite feature they added.

The world is already overflowing with people, and it'll never be a problem as long as you've got a megaserver with multiple layers.
