Dungeon XP As Healer?

A few days ago I ran Selene's Web dungeon in veteran mode as a Sorceror Resto Healer. I'm VR3 currently.

We spent a couple of hours in there as we had difficulty with the last boss. Nevermind though as I got a few drops and we did kill alot of minor enemies in that time (and the earlier bosses too.) I had hoped that after two hours in a group (we were all VR1-3) I would earn some decent XP. Sadly, when I checked my XP bar it hadn't move at all. Is this normal?

If I solo quest during Cadwell's Silver for a couple of hours I can often pick up 25% of a VR level in XP, so I was disappointed to see nothing at all from a dungeon run. Was I just unlucky with a bug?

    Yes, group dungeon XP is very low. They don't want people grinding dungeons to lvl.

    Group Dungeons give low XP, they are meant to give better loot (item sets, undaunted keys, things like that).

    Why not, what's bad about running dungeons to level?

    I've never eally looked at dungeons as a way of getting xp, get the skillpoint, a chance at helm drop, a silver/gold key and that's about my expectations of it, I'm pretty sure when I've done them my xp bar will have moved, just in so small a way it's hardly noticeable, 'tho as always I could be wrong :)

    This applies no matter what class I've played, mostly tank 'tho have been healer before too

    Group dungeons are low in xp. Atleast if it's a dungeon for a pledge you get the xp from quest turn as well. Only time I do group dungeons mostly is if it's for pledge anyway. Plus with Cp cap (I'm over cap) the need/want for xp gains has diminished. Im just farming for gear now.

    Dungeons are low in xp, but you'll do them for gear, helms, fun ... The only xp you'll get from dungeon group is from the dungeon quest, and from the undaunted quest. To lvl your char you can grind mobs, do your quests, anchor, bosses, exploration, ...

    There is no Vet mode for Selene's Web.

    Because people ignore the content they worked on that way.
