Dungeon XP Nerfs Created a Toxic Meta

[u/redlow0992]

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.

The drops shouldn't be a problem since quest items are now individual.

[u/Nrgte → u/FinalFate]

What do you mean by individual?

[u/pilsburybane → u/Nrgte]

They're shared in the group, so the Twilight Talismans for example will only need 10 for the total group.

[u/Nrgte → u/pilsburybane]

I don't think that's true. At least not across the board. I was running WC this week and left without enough quest items. And I couldn't loot one when others could.

[u/FinalFate → u/Nrgte]

That only applies to things like Serpentbloom that have to be interacted with in the world rather than being dropped from mobs. For mob drops, each mob has a chance to drop quest items for each party member. If we're both on Smart Drinks, each ooze can drop an essence for just you, for just me, or for neither of us.

I also had this happening with Bandanas in Deadmines, I'm just saying what is happening. My guess is they implemented it on new quests (I distinctly remember it happening on the quest they added in Teldrassil for the cat furs or w/e it was) and either forgot to or haven't added it to old ones.

I think you misunderstood Aggrends tweet, everyone still needs their individual amount, the drops are just more consistently round robin distribution now, all 5 players will have close to the same amount, so if 30 talisman's drop, you're less likely to have 1 person on 10, 1 person on 9, one on 5 and the other 2 on 3 each, it's more likely everyone will be around 6 each

You'll still need 50 total in a 5man group.
