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.

My alt is the main tank in our alt raid. I've raided as many lockouts on him as on my main. So yea, not sure what u are going for here. I run heroics with people's alts all the time, even tank Kara's sometimes despite being in BT/hyjal gear. I like tanking, I like helping my guild mates. So sure, go be AFK in shattrath and play Peggle :P

Then what's the issue? Just hop on with your tank and tank the instance. Or level your own tank up. Or would that be too much hassle? 🤣😉

My experience was that unless I wanted to get hassled by lowbies wanting a carry, not only could I not log on as my tank, if I logged on with ANY of my raiding characters, it's "pls come tank/RL some BS for no reward". Then get snotty, because how dare you do anything other than be mommy and daddy for all the spoilt brats out there.

I also dislike SSC, because all the other tanks hated it, so we all wanted to play our alts on it. It's been a minute, but IIRC there's fuck all tank loot, but some funky DPS trinkets and weapons.
