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

Its kinda like having your browser open and looking up all the quest info... OH WAIT A MINUTE.

It really isn't. Its more like taking an exam with the answer written right after the question.

My question is, why are you using the map function in the quest log if you like finding the stuff on your own? Just like a guide you don't have to use it ever.

As far as the icons go, it doesn't add or detract any challenge from the content. Personally something that is challenging and engaging would be so even if they told me what direction to go in. The task itself should be the meat of the quest, not finding where to go.

I'm not going to gimp myself in order to make the game more challenging. I will make use of all the tools that they provide me with.

Not using the map function is like suggesting I use a low level weapon to make fights more challenging instead of keeping my gear up to date. Or covering my HP bar with a piece of paper so I have to guess how much health I have left.

Not really because you can generally get all the info you need from reading the quest text. How would not using it be any different than it not existing?

It really isn't. Exams are something you take that get graded and count towards your progression as a student or success in a field. They actually mean something because they are testing you on your knowledge or ability.

Quests are something you do for fun. They don't matter at all. You could just as easily not do them, or not look at the answer, and still have just as much fun (assuming you have fun in different aspects of an MMO or RPG). Perhaps you do quests as a hobby, or simply to pass the time.

Sometimes Quests are something in your way from a goal, and you don't think they're fun. You just want to get "Hand of the Gods" and you don't give 2 cents about a sleeping Elezen kid. You just want someone to basically do the Quest for you as quickly as possible so you can get to your goal.

So you see, Quests and Exams are nothing alike. I hate bad analogies.
