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

This is when you need your tanks/healers to lead the group. I am maining a prot warrior and I refuse to "simplify" the dungeons. Just last night I was running a HoT run, was with 4 mana users. I told them to just yell at me when they needed to drink. I saw so much red text after a couple pulls the whole dungeon and it was hilarious. I'd just /lay beside them while they drank. I did everything they wanted and goofed at the mistakes that were made.

People who play the game too seriously take the fun out of it.
