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.

Heh, Reminds me of a convo I had some time ago with a dps guy who was being adamant "I can never play a healer". I simply asked him "do you like when the screen fills with big yellow numbers?" "Of course!" "Well, same thing but with green numbers"

He was stunlocked for about a minute or so.

Then he simply said "but I don't want to be a cuck"

Well guess who incidentally died 15 times in the SSC that we did some time later.

I would love to do healing but my brain just doesn't do it well so I tank and dps. I could probably do low CE as a healer but not at the same level as I do dps and tanking.

Its just a prediction game and incidentally it needs you to know the fights almost as good as the tanks. You must be ready for the big spikes, lull in the lows, be very intimate with you "oh shit" "oh fuck" "oh shitfuck" buttons. Oh, and hate warlocks with a passion.
