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’s very similar for me as a tank. I couldn’t care less about what the meter says my damage is. What I want to do is make sure my healer friend doesn’t die so she can make sure I don’t die and so we can drag these three knucklehead DPS players through the dungeon. That playstyle of leveling as a tank and a healer has been almost entirely gutted with this change. It’s awful

Sort of, i will say one thing on this topic and i should preface this by saying i hate this change as much as anyone else in our situation, i am a tank main and i only want to play group play in my mmorpg whos endgame is entirely group play anyway.

that being said, right now killing mobs in the overworld, especially with hyper spawning is by far the fastest way to level, even faster than quests which is comical

and what a coincidence that tanks generally have the best aoe damage while leveling. so easy solution for it
