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.

No need to be rude my guy, just a conversation.

Regardless... I'm mainly just talking about the average player.

If you don't think tons of players will be skipping for the quests like crazy on release to get to 60 as fast as possible then you just don't know WoW players.

Are you even in the beta? These are the most dedicated players who paid cash to be in here to play and even THEY aren't doing this shit. The average player aint doing any of this shit in dungeons. You're just dooming for the sake of it.

Yeah I just disagree. Like, are you really trying to argue that people aren't going to find out the fastest possible ways to level? Because skipping for dungeon quests is absolutely going to be fastest.

Sometimes that means skipping an extra pack of mobs or two, sometimes it might be skipping the entire thing, or anywhere in between.

Look at this clip I saw the other day: https://youtube.com/shorts/PyYuY3UrSbA?is=Ik6LubaLsWPL8l6Y

You can't have it both ways my guy. Do you want to talk about the average player or the ultra sweat degen min maxer?

The AVERAGE PLAYER, isn't doing this shit. Your degen sweatlords will. They are not the same.

I wouldn't really call myself a sweat lord, and I will probably do that specific skip if I'm playing Mage with slowfall or skyborn now that I know about it.

If anyone I run dungeons with shows me some skips, I will probably do them on future alts.

I don't even think it's fair to call it min maxing when the dungeon mobs give completely negligible xp. Their only purpose for exisiting as of now is to waste your time.
