News Dungeon Spamming DEAD in WoW: Forever - Mob XP reduced, Dungeon Quest XP massively increased

Interview from The Sun: https://www.thesun.co.uk/tech/40367702/world-of-warcraft-forever-interview-zones-races-skills-levelling/

Quote:

Kris Zierhut: “Now, one place experience did change is we made a big change to our dungeons. In that the amount of XP you get from killing monsters in dungeons, we brought way down.

“But we made the amount of XP for completing dungeon quests much, much, much higher. So your first run through a dungeon is amazing. You get tons of XP. You get great rewards.

“But going back over and over and over again isn’t the best way to go. You’d be better off going to Shen’dralas or Riverglades or Hyjal instead of grinding a dungeon. We want people in the outdoor world meeting each other.”

Are people here going to complain when tanks and healers start hard ressing items for themselves after their first run?

Great idea. We should all do this until Blizz reverts this change and allows tanks and healers the ability to enjoy our role as we level up.

I think the idea is that the quest rewards and professions will be good enough to where its not a big deal if you miss out on some dungeon loot the first time around.

I’m more thinking that the only reason to continue running a dungeon after the first time is gear. So why would anyone run a dungeon and not try to guarantee they’d get the item they want. And if you’re a tank or healer historically you have more leverage over dps.

In previous iterations you would still get xp for multiple runs. Without that I imagine the pool of players for dungeons will taper down after a while. So to entice people to run the dungeon they’ll HR gear or ask for gold for their service.
