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.

Sometimes I wonder if they’re so concerned about boosting because they want us to buy a future level boost… Of course they said it wouldn’t happen but they said that before and lied

It’s possible. But it’s also possible that they’re worried about it because it was so rampant in 2019 classic, and era.

Sure but that’s a symptom, not the cause. If RMT was actually enforced, boosting and GDKPs wouldn’t be as popular. They need to cut the head off of the dragon. You shouldn’t limit how people have fun within the game if they’re not breaking rules

The game has been around for 22 years and they’ve never cut the head off of that dragon. So I don’t see how the devs could assume that they ever will. Which means a systemic correction is the only possible option.

Nah I disagree, it’s completely possible, and now they are changing the game (imo for the worst) instead of addressing it. Maybe it’s on purpose because maybe they get a lot of revenue from bottling account having subs, but it’s not impossible

I mean, you can speculate. But they haven’t fixed it in 22 years.
