We are applying a hotfix today to all level 1-60 dungeon quests for Kalimdor and Eastern Kingdoms dungeons which will significantly reduce the amount of experience they award.

While dungeons should remain integral to our evolving storylines, and great places to collect gear in cooperative environments, we need to make sure each player?s questing progress remains relevant as dungeon quests are completed. In many cases we?re seeing players enter dungeons to complete quests, only to come out ahead of the leveling curve for the zones they?re in.

This change should allow players the opportunity to reap the benefits of running dungeons, while not outpacing the leveling flow from levels 1-60. At this time there are no plans for making any adjustments to dungeon quest experience for Outland, Northrend, and level 80+ Cataclysm dungeons.

You can find a list of all of the latest hotfixes here: http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/1232869

The Cataclysm has wrought changes to many facets of Azeroth and the dungeons found across the world are no exception. As many of the zones throughout the world now have new level ranges, the dungeons within their borders have been adjusted to match, and the items that drop within those dungeons have had their stats changed accordingly.

Here's a list of all 1-60 dungeons and the level range at which each should be explored, followed by the minimum level required for entry in parentheses.

Hey thanks! I was actually considering doing instances once Cata came out. Not because I enjoyed them or the retards I seem to get stuck with but because of the XP. Now there is no reason to change my solo ways.

Good times...

Instead of gaining 3 levels per dungeon run, you'll just gain 1.5. Still not too bad.

Apparently, something's up. Saw a level 80, human hunter today. Guessed he did that racial transfer, but claimed he leveled from one to eighty over the last week.
