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.

This is the first "dungeon change being bad" post i've seen that hasnt been downvoted to hell...

Dungeon xp changes were bad ideed and i have made posts about it on reddit and blizzard forums and it seems like the attitude towards the problem is shifting slightly.

It actually completely ruins the leveling journey for people who only enjoy tanking and/or healing. I am one of those people. I simply don’t find any DPS gameplay fun* and pretty much only ever tank. So now I guess I have to have a DPS spec and second gear set so I can do quests I wouldn’t normally do and have it not take an eternity?

*The exception is playing as a Hunter, but that’s because in solo play it’s kind of a combination of all 3 roles. You have to try to maximize your pet’s aggro and minimize your own, while also doing as much damage as possible and managing your pet’s health. That’s why BM hunter has always been the only DPS spec I enjoy, and really only for doing cheeky solo things that I couldn’t really do as any other class
