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 tank player, I can confirm I’ll do hard reserving on items. Sorry for the inconvinience.

Can't really blame you for that, if you only get to do a dungeon one time without massively lowering your xp/hour then I don't see why you'd bring in someone that can roll on stuff you need, especially if you're a role that's super desired like a tank

It’s not something I’m proud of, but hey, I don’t make the rules.

I'm not poopooing you for reserving, but don't pretend like your hands are bound. You could not do it if you wanted; people using the actions of others as a reason for them adopting the same behavior is such a cancer, even if this is null-impact example of it - I just fucking despise the sophistry behind it.

I mean it has little to do with what other players are doing and entirely about the design decisions that encourage a behavior.

You are right. Definitely. But I need to compensate somehow, otherwise why even bother if the xp is low? I genuinely wouldn’t do it if xp is good.
