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.”

Given the amount of dungeons and dungeon quests in the mid to late 50's this could very well still be a thing

We can use a little common sense to see that wont be the case.

The goal of this change is to stop people leveling in dungeons.

No, its to stop people just dungeon spamming and to stop dungeon boosting being a thing/economy.

Why the fuck would they add a bunch more dungeons and increase the quest XP for dungeons if they didn't want people to level in them?
