What happened to sightseeing?

[Knot_D]

The arr sightseeing is a bit of a headache from time to time because of the vague description but the one in HW and I presume onward simply makes no effort in hinting you what are you suppose to emote and where to. Why did they butcher the sightseeing feature like that?

A bit of a headache? Proper location, weather, time of day. That’s a lot of making sure the stars align and you aren’t busy when they do. Much more accessible the way it’s handled now

That's also true. Though I think this sightseeing mechanic makes no sense, you are no longer reading the journal for hints of the location, you simply stop by wherever has a glowing dot and try different emotes if not /lookout most of the time. I much prefer the way they introduced it in ARR.

Good to know that it gives you collectable items. I do sightseeing for lores, maybe why I enjoy the arr sightseeing more, not necessarily the weather and time part though. The fact that they discontinued the effort in hinting the locations they did in arr's sightseeing make it less interesting to find, because your only way to find them without looking up on the internet is to fly around aimlessly and hope to find a shiny spot. It simply makes no sense to the original quest that gives you the sightseeing log.
