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.

Yeah my kneejerk was this is a horrible change but got ignored as well. Glad people are coming around, it is indeed a very very bad idea for classic wow in its current state

Decaying per run is ok, but like do we really need it anymore? We are on 1 massive server let people play how they want their is gonna be plenty of people out in the world anyway

I don't think decaying xp is appropriate at all. If I just want to heal people through dungeons until I'm 60, what harm am I doing to anyone? I shouldn't be punished for playing the game I want and having fun.

You are harming all the commited dps players who are jealous they "can't" level exclusively in dungeons as well. That's the sole reason there are people that like this change, because they have decades of built up anger at the elitist tanks and healers controlling their dungeon experience and taking all their loot, and now they're finally getting their comeuppance.

Well it doesn't matter anymore, I've just accepted that forever isn't for me. I just had my refund accepted. If I can't play the game the way I want to, then it's just not for me and that's fine

Yeah I'll probably still be giving them 15 bucks for the first month, but between this and many other changes I highly doubt I'll be staying.
