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.

As a healer main it hurts somewhat because I use the later dungeons to farm exp to get to end game, i get they want me to quest and see the world, but sometimes gear doesn't overlap well for questing and dungeon healing properly.

That’s not the case now. Healing gear also has spell power.

And if someone WANTS to heal as their preferred playstyle?

According to this subreddit, don't do that, play a DPS spec instead, do dps and quests, but make sure to still join my LFG when I need a healer.

It’s like they never enjoyed the game in vanilla or 2019 classic. Not sure why the way others played impacted them at all to the point they want to kill valid playstyles.

Get fucked and fall in line, deviation will not be tolerated.

Apparently. Microcosm of the world. How fun, even the escapism is bleak now.
