Can We Get Secret Quests?!

[Enkidoh]

In other words you want the FFXI-style of questing:



While such a method of questing in RPGs can be rewarding, at the other end of the scale it can be downright frustrating to have to run around clicking on NPCs just to find a specific quest you just know is there, but can't find, leading to endless frustration.

And as has been stated, usually this just would result in the player finding other ways of locating the desired quest by simply looking online for the information, either through official channels like a strategy guidebook, or on a website. All SE has done with the hand-holding system in ARR is cut out this middleman by showing you exactly where you have to go without this extra hassle.

Maybe the fix to this would be to have the 'best of both worlds' - by keeping the current hand-holding system as default, but add an option in System Settings that can turn off the Duty List and quest notification icons above NPCs if desired for those like you that want the challenge of finding quests accidentally.
