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.

As a healer I won't charge I just won't make myself available. Historically if someone pings me for a dungeon and I have time I'll go. I'd much rather heal than wand. As it stands now I'll take my instant invite once do the quests then never do that dungeon again.

This.

Resto druid since '05. Have never leveled resto. Was hoping they'd find a way this time around to let me. Apparently not. That's ok--but its one fewer competent healer available for groups, at least until dual spec becomes available.

And God help the group I wind up with as a feral tank. =)

You don't need to be resto specced to heal dungeons pre lvl 40, I healed them just fine as feral in the beta

Why? Because you get a bit less xp than before?

You say a bit, people in this very thread are reporting getting 3 bars of xp for full clearing BFD with rested xp and the sleeping bag.

A bit less people could probably live with. But Blizz took a hatchet to it and left only the tattered remains where XP used to be.

It's not a bit, someone did the math. A second run vs just grinding mobs over the same duration was yielding 3x less xp.
