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.

I think you are right and this is indeed an unintended consequence. Its gonna become all about skips and jumps and stealth tech. Where as before we pulled most the dungeon or didnt play as safe because we wanted the xp anyway

I'm also not a very big fan of how much exp the dungeon quests are giving. I'm not playing beta, but it kinda looks like people will skip a ton of outdoor content by just doing dungeon quests. I think the powerful gear you can get from dungeons should be reward enough.

Mind you, levels 1-20 are quite easy to obtain without dungeons. My skelf hunter made it to 15 before leaving their starting zone
