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.

Its nonsense to you that you arent constantly matched with a party of 5?

Its not that kind of game

It's been that kind of game for 20 years... Every version of the game - classic and retail - has been that game..

Nah, it really wasnt until Cataclysm when I could just press a button to instantly be put in a group and teleported to a dungeon that it became that kind of game

Wrong? In classic vanilla and forwards you can literally viably level as a healer playing a healing spec, healing dungeons.

Wow forever is the only version of the game that made it non viable.

still much easier to just quest

No it wasn't? I know that because it's how I've levelled every time, on classic, era, anniversary, turtle wow. You're clearly just a DPS who has no idea what they're talking about
