i think i agree, finding the map first was great, ..took time to adventure and find things. like in mining and botany if u go a grade higher without node finders, by time u get node finder u kinda memorized the area. give us time to really adventure first without a map, make the world feel bigger and badder ...then give us a map by doing something for it.

i still remember spending half a day running around trying to get inside rabaoi entrance, was great to me.
