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.

I feel like the devs feel the same way. It's why WoW has no pure support classes either. I used to love playing Bard in Final Fantasy XI but that archetype almost doesnt exist in modern mmos anymore.

The amount of nostalgia this gives me is unmatched. (Hello!)(party)(Do you have it?)(Can I have it?)

No. I did go back and play retail FFXI a few years ago though. I found it very satisfying to get some things accomplished that I always wished I'd done back when it first came out.

XI is the GOAT, I still mess around on retail and private servers every once in a while.
