Lessens, not removes. It still meets the stated purpose of being able to run normal difficulty dungeons with followers.
I’m surprised as anyone at the XP change, but at least 60-70 already goes super fast, so it won’t be a problem for most characters for long.
They don’t. Let’s look at the facts:
No, they just don’t want you leveling like that.
I figure that all depends on how bad it makes the xp per time rate. I figure there does come a point where the returns are bad enough that it becomes a turn off from doing that. Like, I can see doing it as a leveling alternative for alts when I’m tired of questing stuff if it’s pretty comparable to group finder xp, even though it’ll be a slower path to similar rewards, but slower AND reduced xp is a pretty big disincentive.
For no reason? Or is it an attitude issue? Once is a coincidence. When something becomes a pattern there’s a saying for that. If it stinks everywhere you go, it might be a good idea to look underneath your shoe.
It’s always be significantly worse than group finder since it wouldn’t have the end of dungeon bonus that’s an incentive to use LFD.
It’s one way to learn, that’s for sure. If I’m with friends or guildies it doesn’t faze me. With random pugs tho? Also with pugs, there’s a consideration of their own time investment. Some pugs are fine if you tell them you’re learning, some are not. With follower dungeons, the NPCs ain’t got anything better to do 
Maybe there’s a compromise there, then. Leave in the daily limit, raise the XP more than it is now, but not fully to LFD dungeon amounts?
My guess is the daily limit goes away anyway as long as it doesn’t cause performance issues.
The XP for mobs should probably be increased also, but I also wouldn’t really complain if it isn’t.
My thought process was to make sure LFD isn’t dead, while also trying to compromise with those in here who want to use it as a way to level.
I’m pro more options so I feel that NPC normal dungeons should make it give just as much XP as a normal random dungeon because you are doing exactly that, maybe minus the bonus at the end because you aren’t having to deal with the randoms you usually deal with in a random dungeon but otherwise it should be the same 100%, add in like heroic and maybe mythic 0 versions and it gives everyone the option of another great way to play without the stress of playing with other people they don’t actually wanna play with.
Regardless of anything Blizzard is always going to want players to be doing queued content with other players this shouldn’t be a surprise. This is why you can’t use chromie time up to 70. This is the reason.
I agree that it would be better with more exp since a player is still using their time, and time should equate to a decent reward. If bots are the reason, makes me wonder how sophisticated bots are. Can they run a dungeon, even one of these? There are still things they have to do - move forward to start it, follow the dungeon path, etc. If they made it so a character couldnt be put on Follow with the non player characters, bots would have to be pretty smart I would have thought.
Here’s to hoping this feature doesn’t affect the instance servers to the point where we can’t run keys or raids tomorrow because the “casuals” are bombing these follower dungeons.
Having a limit to make sure server loads don’t cripple the rest of the game? Sure. People can follow that kind of a point very easily.
Story mode? They already pulled the quests to an NPC right inside the door with the exception of 1 or 2 that are at the end of long quest chains.
Who’s running story mode more than 1x time in any case?
The collective positive reactions I witnessed was more along the lines of finally, (I/we) can queue solo for dungeons instead of LFD and not either have to put up with idiots or deal with people complaining about (me/us).
People expected a solo-queue LFD experience.
Like I said before, I’ve been here a long time, known her by other names and have read quite a bit. People disagree with each other all the time.
So disagreeing with someone and going into other threads just to insult them about something you were arguing with them about in another thread, or just to get in a pot shot to call them by the names they used to use is ok then?
You are making some huge assumptions here. I have disagreed with her and have made an effort NOT to try and be insulting. I dont remember seeing her posts before. We disagree about this “feature” and blizzards intent but I have no intent and no reason to follow her around. She has her opinion and I have mine. It isnt a big deal. One post I got a little over the line, but I had minimized my screen and went a got a bowl of chicken and dumplings. I came back and deleted more offensive lines before posting. Most people dont stalk other posters, but we do have similar interests within the game.
I’m not. I wasn’t even talking about you either.
I get you because believe it or not I thought we were friends or at least friendly with one another before this topic but after this thread and another thread of the same topic we aren’t anymore because of how hostile they were to me and other people and you know I’m honestly okay with that because anyone just reading these threads can see who the problem person is/people are vs who’s not.
Maybe something that scales the xp based on effort you put in. If you stand at the dungeon entrance and let the NPCs do the entire dungeon for you, then 0 XP awarded. Or at the other end, if you do most of the DPS for your group and help kill all trash & bosses, then XP matching a normal LFG dungeon.
