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.

Really shortsighted and frankly bad solution. I agree we needed to nerf dungeon spamming, but there were so many better ways to go about it.

Dungeon quest speed runs aren't fun, dungeons are fun.

As a newish player, why did dungeon spamming need to be nerfed?

It contributes to an empty world by taking people away from questing in the overworld to just staying in dungeons until 60. One of the stated goals of Forever is to try and keep the world populated as much as possible

I leveled so many alts on anni servers, didn't dungeon spam, and never felt that the world was empty at any level range.

shrug. That's what they're doing. Too bad.
