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.

Rumor has it the devs are completely blindsided by this 🤪

We didnt have phones, so must not have friends, so questing solo it is.

Got a source for the rumour? Or is it just a "this sounds like a good story"

I was making a joke, I have no idea whats going on with the devs. Hopefully they are writing up a post telling us they are reverting it based on player feedback so we can go back to complaining about class nerfs.

Rumor has it the devs have actual data which shows how many players runs dungeons and how many times, and are perfectly satisfied with their changes to XP which is why they're sticking with them.

Blizzard had data on how many bottles of breast milk were in the fridge, too. Data don’t mean shit.

Yeah I think if players were satisfied you wouldn’t see a post asking for the nerf to be reverted with over a thousand upvotes. Hows that for some data?

Genuine question, do you think this subreddit represents a significant part of the overall playerbase?

Do you think a thousand upvotes represent some groundswell of popular support when the beta alone had hundreds of thousands of players?

The small minority of people engage on reddit and the forums, on any topic.

I would bet there will be a lot of "Why didn't we get any XP for doing this dungeon again" posts the first month of release, because people just won't know.

I think that you can use what people post and what people upvote as a data point to represent a larger grouping of players absolutely.

Statistics show that to be true as well. If think this probably is going to disappear once the average joe dad gamer gets on the game I think you will be in for a rude awakening.
