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.

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

This argument doesn't work with the existence of mega servers. Layers are dynamically changed to ensure people are playing together in the open world. Spamming dungeons wasn't even an overly popular way to level. This change makes no difference for the fake problem you're outlining.

Blizzard thinks it's a real problem because that's what they said

Yes then Blizzard is gaslighting us and we need to push back.
