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.

IMO, the real cracks in this plan wont even show until 50-59. Where before you would be doing dungeons for XP and gear you would use for a while 60-prebis or not.

Now the incentive is to just get to 60 first. So, anything from say Mara+ I'm going to HR the gear I want(which will be both heal and DPS or tank and DPS) on the one run of them I do. And because I'll be a healer or tank, I'll be able to because there will be plenty of DPS just happy to get a group quickly.

Oh for sure, it'll be exacerbated later. 60s can of course just farm them, but they're likely going to keep the HR stuff going on, so it'll be hyper competitive rather than some fun runs.

Comparatively, I'm going to be significantly ahead of the masses to 60.

So even at 60, I'll just continue to HR gear on runs that may have sub 60s in them because there will be increased demand for groups.

I expect level 60 groups to just shake out how they always have.

I'll actually bet I get both my priest and warr to 60 before most people get their first there. Just because I took two weeks off work to no-life the launch.

Haha I took like 4 days off cause I had spare time. Most I'd done before was just day of and casually made my easy there. I have a feeling there's going to be significant asks for help running stuff.
