Why don't dungeons award any xp the second play thru and onward?

This seems silly to me. I just assumed that up to vet 10 it was because the level difference between me and the scale was greater than five. But now that I'm vet 11, it still offers no xp?

I play on Xbox EU.

Quite literally the moment I hit vet 11 I queued up for a dungeon, got spindle clutch. As soon as I realised, two or three bosses in, that I was getting no xp I jut bailed.. Is this a bug?

    They should give XP, but Dungeons give out horrible XP unless you are doing a pledge key turn-in. I'm not sure why ZoS has made the decision not to give a 4 man group in dungeons such horrible XP but it shouldn't be that way at all.

    ZoS should encourage group play by giving 4 man dungeon groups top tier XP in PvE to encourage grouping together and keeping this content alive.

    Their 4 man dungeon groups should offer repeatable quests on Normal and Vet level Dungeons. I simply do not understand their reasoning behind making dungeons not worth grouping for gaining XP and rewards.

    Unfortunately you end up grinding for keys which you can only do once a day and the dungeon masks. It's very frustrating.

    These are group finder dungeons? I wasn't aware they didn't scale properly...

    And all vet content still gives you drops + XP if you are vet, as my VR16 still gets drops from my VR1 zone, just in VR1.
    I have departed into the great unknown that is outside the game and the forums, and wish you well in your Tamriel adventures!

    Oops sorry, I was asking if you were using Group Finder for the Group Finder instead of manually asking around?

    I get champion points when running dungeons all of the time. Also, some recent patch notes said that "dungeons will give 30% more XP than they used to ", (presumably they were not talking about only the first play through). If you actually get nothing, I think it's a bug. I will say that dungeons don't give much XP.

    In fact, I just got a Templar and DK o Vet 1 and have only done dungeons with them. The Templar has definitely leveled up mid dungeon, proving to me that she was gaining experience in the dungeon.

    Perhaps.. But basically;

    As said as soon as I hit vet11 I went straight to a dungeon cause my xp scroll was still active. The company bar literally didn't move. And all me a lame ass, but I got right up to my tv to look at the bar out of disbelief.

    Ah yes I see, I use the group finding took in most cases.

    (Sorry it took me so long to reply. I fell asleep shortly after making the post, it was 3am my time)

    I'm not sure how it works on Xbox but on PC you can mouseover your xp bar to see the exact number. You don't get a lot of xp from dungeons but you do get some unless you're too high level(more than 5 levels higher than mobs, but all vet ranks count as lvl 50).

    Dungeon xp sucks though. It's possible you just got so little you didn't notice the 1 mm that your bar moved by.
