    It does not sound like a good idea to completely hide off everything the player have not yet unlocked of the Duty Finder. Instead, it would be 1000x better to show the entry as "not unlocked yet" (with red frames perhaps) and also point out directions (simple saying "to unlock this you need to finish MSQ and talk to NPC xyz on location abc" or something like that).

    The recommendation window on the game also don't serve its purpose if it will not point out important things that need to be done to unlock raids, trials, the cool stuff. So as a new player I go to recommendations => Raid, instead of instructing me on what is needed to unlock things, the window will show nothing.

    If it was not a friend of mine asking if I had already unlocked the Asphodelos stuff, I would not even KNOW it exists, and I have already finished the Endwalker MSQ... I'm actually SHOCKED at how this community accept this as normal, because it is not.

    Perhaps Square Enix should pay half of our sub prices to Google, since it seems like Google is a requirement to play FFXIV
    Odd. I have never needed Google to find out what I can do in the game. When new quests become available they are almost always on the same map as you are when you unlocked it, and thus easily found.
    Exceptions are quests for level cap (and old level caps) and they are all picked up in one of the hubs, so just going through the hubs will show all those quests to you.
    No google needed, ever.

    Well, I believe the problem in this case is the lack of empathy, by definition. You can't look at things in the POV of a new player, where there is no "new quests becoming available". Everything is there, a multitude of blue quests.

    As I said previously and multiples times, my options are either “look online” or “do every single blue quest”. In your case, it's just that the second option is not a concern since you're not new...

    I was a new player once. And I did not have a problem then either. I do indeed pick up every single quest (blue or otherwise) and systematically go through them. Since I am somewhat of a completionist that is my preferred way of playing anyhow.
    But just picking picking up the "blue" quests that unlock other stuff should not be hard for anyone or problematic. No google required.
