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.

This is the new dungeon boost. 60 carries four people for quests or one person pays extra for quests, all quest items and loot. Continues to alienate the low level community and nothing breaks terms of service.

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

Sure. But it doesn’t have to be this way. The choice doesn’t have to be between bad and worse.

sometimes the role of a game designer is to protect the players from themselves. They've made it clear that theyre open to tweaking the mob exp more but the philosophy will not change. They want the open world to have priority

Not really sure how this comment is pertinent to mine. I’m saying there are other ways to achieve their goals to stop boosting, like putting a level cap whereby the player gets no xp if a 60 is in their party.

that "solution" literally doesnt do anything to change the current situation. I'm done here

I’m really not following what you’re talking about. You started this conversation by saying one form of boosting is healthier than another. Do you remember that?
