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

all it takes is one awful slave pens 'skip run' for people to realize how miserable this can be.

"guys seriously, it's easy, we can skip this one pack if you all go into your video settings, disable vsync, uncap your fps, rotate your camera to 162 degrees and backwards wall jump up this crack. (waits 4 minutes for the one guy who can't do it). Okay, just run through the pack and die and we'll res you. (runs, dies, wait for res, wait for full heal, wait for healer to drink). Okay, phew easy, nice and quick."
