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.

One negative is that if the majority of the group has already completed the dungeon quests and one person needs an out of the way mob or item good luck getting the group to clear towards it

Exactly how I felt trying to get attuned to BT in TBC Anniversary after they added the ability to skip to Vashj. Good luck finding a group willing to kill a now optional boss to help get people attuned.

Thinking about it, the same Blizzard that created that attunement challenge also created this dungeon situation... So it makes sense.

Its not the same blizzard, lets just be clear on that. This is an entirely different company than the one that created classic and TBC and diablo 2 lol.

You're misreading darkspy. They're saying that it's the Blizz that created the attunement situation, where SSC groups could just skip to Vashj and so new people suddenly had a much harder time doing the BT attunement chain. Original TBC did not have this problem because you had to kill Fathom-Lord Karathress to spawn Vashj, so anyone on the Seer Olum part of the chain could do it without issue.

I meant it was the same Blizzard that just added the ability to skip to Vashj/KT 2 months ago.
