Aether Compass map indicators?

[BreathlessTao]

No, exploration in itself is nice. I don't mind that.

What I do have an issue with... is the fact that these new maps are huge and they have very obviously been made for flying, not on-foot travel. About 80% of the those current points are in spots that are purposefully annoyingly difficult to reach, with arbitrary obstacles at every five step.
× No, you can't jump up here, it's just too high.
× No, you can't utilise this shortcut, because it's not even a shortcut, it's actually a dead end.
× No, this one isn't a shortcut either, it takes you to a completely different place (potentially on a longer route than you could've taken).
× No, you can't go up here, or here, or there either, you'll have to go around half the map to get back just here, just to be a little bit higher.
× No, you can't go through here, even though it would be obvious; you'll have go the other way around, which will make you go through the whole map.
× No, you can't go any further here, though it's not visible on the map, this wall is here and you can't climb it or ascend anywhere else.
.....have I mentioned the new zones are gigantic? And the fact that the map is pretty awful when it comes to distinguishing different altitude levels? Add to it the fact that a lot of simple fetch quests send you to the same few spots that feature at least one of these abovementioned arbitrary obstacles...

No, it's not fun. Exploring and learning to navigate is fun. But I have not learned to navigate with these, and I spent at least half a day in both the Western Highlands and the Dravanian Forelands. What I "learned" is never want to set foot in either zones, unless specifically to talk to or interact with someone or something. Exploring and learning the lay of the land should be about that, not about reaching specific, purposefully difficult-to-reach spots that have no use otherwise, only once, only for the sake of "unlocking" something that shouldn't even exist.

Free takeoff and free landing are nice... but flying is definitely not free. And by the time you unlock everything in a given zone - you're moving on to the next. Unless you spend hours doing nothing else at all but finding those currents. The ultimate joke? When you fly into the next zone, becase you can't even cross on foot, but once there, you're not in the air anymore because this arbitrary system does not let your bird fly.
