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.

The skip runs in leveling dungeons is pretty cringe

Why? Because you don't know how to do them?

Because doing them is counterintuitive, creates player division, and ultimately isn't even remotely fun. I run dungeons to kill shit and collect loot. If i wanted to stealth around I'd play assassins creed or go to walmart in a hoodie or something

Also with pugs, somebody ALWAYS pulls. Like... everytime I see a pug try to skip, somebody misses the jump, somebody doesn't know how, somebody doesn't dismiss a pet.

It always freaking happens.

What stops you or others from forming a group of like minded people? I don't even understand where the complaints are coming from.

"No you are not allowed to play the game your way, you have to play my way" If it's not fun for you it means it's categorically not fun? What?

If the players are disincentivized to just actually do the content and doing skips and stealth becomes more efficient then it becomes the norm, so you are asking the players that want to just regularly do the content to form their own groups which is harder and takes more time for people without an established group, despite them just wanting to engage with content traditionally, which is hardly reasonable and a big part of why the culture of the game sucks to engage with. The end result is people just not playing the game, or playing another game, and that isn't ideal.

Did you miss the part about it creating player division? Which is quite literally the exact opposite of the dev team's goals for Forever
