Forever Beta Feedback Unintended outcomes of the Dungeon XP Nerf

  1. Monster Skip Runs [ More than just end game dungeons ]

  2. Hard Reserving of low level gear [ Not just Cruel Barb ]

  3. Less Tank and Healers leveling [ You see them say it every day on reddit since the nerf ]

  4. Tanks and Healers charging for their services for low level dungeons [ Not just end game ]

  5. Less dungeons begin ran [ Meaning harder to find groups ]

  6. Less social interactions [ Dungeons were the group activity, questing is primarily solo ]

  7. Some dungeons being skipped entirely [ Alliance have no reason to run Shadow Fang Keep since there are no quests and no mob XP ]

There are more issues than just these, I normally just run a dungeon 3-5 times now trying to convince people to do that will be drastically harder.

why would cloth users help me do Scarlett Monetary Armory?

Will people just Skip SM Cath because you have to clear all mobs?

We have never had to ask these questions before and this is why people are so passionate about it, we are supposed to be playing this version Forever.

Just make Boosting a lifetime bannable offense.

Tanks won’t be bringing people that will roll against them for their loot either. Why would a warrior roll against a ret for a 2h when they can just bring any other class

Honestly, I never did this until Forever. I love running and tanking the dungeons. It is the most social aspect of the game to me. I would accept fellow warriors into my group, need roll on mail gear pre-level 40. I would just run it some more. I did this through Classic 20th Anniversary.

In Forever, after a RoL run with a DPS warrior and Paladin, who needed mail gear that was more tank item, I just started avoiding any group with other mail wearing classes. I left some groups because how can they assure me they won't need something when it drops. Now I am trying to figure out how hard reserves even work because I literally never used it.

I rolled on some DPS gear as a healer for the first time during beta and it felt dirty, but it's what they want. If I can't level well by playing healer (not the talents, literally just being a healer who heals other people and gets experience) then there is no choice.

Going forward, I will probably do something similar to what you're describing tbh.
