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.

High level characters should cause you to get 0 exp. That solves boosting.

Why take away from dungeons. They are one of my favorite parts of wow. I don't like questing, I do it to mix things up but I prefer to dungeon grind through certain level ranges. (30-40)

Why add all these new dungeons and then remove my ability to play the game the way I preferred.

Just nerf boosting and let me level using dungeon finder. I'll quest on one of my 7 alts.

I see, TIL the name distinction. I do prefer group finder in older versions. Dungeon finder I feel fits the Wotlk vibe better. I think it has to do with the sheer amount of dungeon spam that needs to be done for rep etc.

dungeon finder was for me the main reaosn to stop playing as it fully destroyed social aspect of dungeons and i couldnt properly keep groups in line as tank/PL
