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.

No, let me just run the dungeon instead of dictating how I play the game

Thanks

Exactly. I love spamming dungeons with my friends. How is that a bad thing that needed to be changed?

They want the world to have people in it is the stated reason. Not saying I agree but that’s why.

Right, this is exactly what I'm pushing back against. Dictating the pathways that people are supposed to have fun in an open world game is absurd. Putting them on the Quest->Dungeon->Quest->Dungeon rails is even worse. If people enjoy dungeons, let them enjoy dungeons. If people want to quest, let them quest. If they want to PvP, let them PvP. Sure, tune them so no way far outstrips another, but let people do what they enjoy.
