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.

well tbf this is a more healthy boost than sitting in a dungeon for 6 levels then going to the next dungeon for 6 levels. If you can get a 60 to help via a friend or paying gold then its just one or two runs and youre back in the open world

Perfect then people will sell the service and we are right back to boosting again. Self inflicted problems for blizzard once again.

my point is that there will always be some form of a boost without an invasive limitation like "If mobs are grey level then you can't enter the dungeon." Im comparing the original boosting (sit at the entrance of a dungeon lv10-60 while a mage clears the dungeon 5 times in an hour) vs the new one (have a high level run you through ONCE to complete quests then you return to questing in open world)

I dislike both options truthfully, Its on the developers of the game to find a way to stop these things from happening while also respecting the players time and agency.
