This is why quest markers make the game for 2 year olds

So is anyone who actually reads my entire OP going to reply? Or is the train of people who only read the title going to continue? -_-

Even if it doesn't "Hurt anything", don't you think it's stupid(is this word allowed? let's see)how much the game holds our hand and tells us exactly where to go and what to do multiple times in multiple ways?

We all read everything. There's just nothing much to it.

You balk at the straw-man "2 year old" because for some reason you feel proud of pulling your pants up by yourself. To the rest of us, we don't really give anyone any intelligence, talent, skill, or performance points for knowing where to go for quests.

You feel proud for performing secretarial tasks, I will have a secretary mark where to go on my map because I have better things to do than wander around and act like that makes me a good player.

I read your OP. I just don't agree with it. I like Quests and Side Quests the way they are. I'd like some more difficult content in the future, but for what it is - it works just fine. Maybe 12 year olds need their hand held. You don't decide who can or can't play, what age group or reading level they are in, or whether or not they should read the quests or just look at the markers. It's not your call. I don't agree. Also, I'm not insulted. I simply follow the markers as I see fit, or I don't if I understand the directions clearly.

Until this thread I never thought about it so I guess I don't find it "stupid" or anything else. It just exists and I exist around it. Sometimes I use it (if I start something but decide to log off and do it days later) and sometimes I don't. It's not a big deal. It's not really worth a thread. It's certainly not worth insulting each other over.
