    Nothing wrong with exploring no one here is arguing for hand holding, no one does not want to be blind folded tho. There are plenty of games out there that can show you the general location and still make it tough to find, stop acting like its noway to do both.

    Firon is completely right. If there people are "blindfolded" they will just look up the answer/location on the internet, so the blindfold approach is a waste of time, there needs to be a balance.

    This statement brings me back to XI when did that lvl cap quest that wanted you to go tot he 3 beastman strongholds. Instead of telling you the ??? you are looking for with a clever message he(Maat) just tells you to go there. When i first did that quest i was in castle O for hours trying to figure out where to go before i decided to look it up on the net, then i hit another road block the fkin passwords lol.

    Ah, but will facing north-by-northeast at 2:45 a.m. while the moon is a waning crescent result in a 27% increase in your chances to synthesize HQ mythril ingots!? That is real the question! ~Fernehalwes~

    I agree and have argued for a balance between one and the other. But apparently FFXI was as tough as the Lady of Pain's mazes for some people, and Pheonix server was somehow spared all this...

    If you can tell me with honestly you never looked up more than 50% of your quest in XI because the wording so was so bad I would say you are lying but i might be wrong.
