add a way to hide "useless question"

[Crushnight]

gil 100-1k isn't gil its chump change that even 1 dungeon gives you 4x more
acc-msq gives u lol
gear-msq gives u
items-most items they give u is just inventory clutter wasting space lol

the reason why hiding it would be good is its a pain in the ... to go back and gather around the area when there is a million pointless quest cluttering up the zone its a pain to look at

Warn you now doing every side quest in ARR/HW alone gets you over 1.5m gil, they add up

They offer items for alts/mains

The lore they offer ranges from i'm agitated by these random enemies go clear out k thx, to can you go gather x material to pay respects to y dead person here let me explain why z town is called z.

World building is a thing MSQ will only do so much side quests are there for those that like extra details, don't like the sight on your map just do them there quick enough most of the time and helpful for alts.

So can we get a tool added to the game that will hide all non sidequest(blue looking quest markers" and msq

almost all of the normal quest "just normal markers" are near pointless to do outside cleaning up the map outside of the few that gives you a minion they are overall worthless..

so please give us a ingame tool to remove all quest from showing up that are not side quest or msq related

rudeness aside, id like the option as well, had a hard time finding locations on the map due to being covered by quest icons.

[Awha]

I mean you could just ignore them.

[Stepjam]

Perhaps a filter to take them off the map would be ok, but I wouldn't call them useless

[Bsrking5]

Well I'D say everything but msq should have a hide filter. Its not a high priority, but a nice QOL/ cosmetic option. Im fine with or without it.

Must be alot of PLDs in this thread cause I see alot of holy white nights.

I don't really care one way or the other about the issue OP presented but if all she is asking for is a hide icon option for certain quests then I don't think she's as unreasonable as the great and mighty PLDs blasting her for a simple request.

Big Jikes reading this, first of why are players so verbal on shutting this request down? What do you lose if its yet another box you can check in the options, chances are you will never notice it anyway.

The EXP a Sidequest gives is less then favorable to the point their never mentioned when players ask how to level fast, most of the time if you decide to do Sidequests for just exp you will just slow yourself down.
Items, sure theres a few but in almost 90% of Sidequests your only reward is gil and honestly chances are you already have gear thats better already.
Lore, this one is sort of valid and hard to disprove but a lot of quests do come down to, ... "i really want those 2 flowers". We all love our Fetch quests.

Also keep in mind, theres a fair bit of players who dont care about story/lore, those players also dont have the drive to go on a Forum.
And to those who say "just do them" you are mad to believe anyone would have the mental power to do that if their new.

To put it in picture, i put the effort into doing 2000 Mentor roulettes, but ill not touch these Sidequests because there is no benefit to me. So lets sum it up, we have a quest that gives you less exp then if you did something else, gives you an item you likely outleveled or none and gives you a bit of lore or none.

The request to stop map cluttering is fine here.

Because then we get more players who dislike sidequests and the like, and then they will ask for more removal of anything which doesn't provide a straight path to the endgame and BiS gear.
I don't want FFXIV to attract that kind of players. Doing so is a sure way of ruining the good parts of the game in the long view.

These yellow quests bring very little, if not nothing, to the "lore". Very few demand something else than go-there-do-this. Those very few are the ones that chain one after another and include go-there-do-this in the story they tell and progression they show. For example: the Fox guy in Yanxia.

The devs themselves know how useless they are. Remember that quest where a lala you talk to in Kurogane tells you how stupid what you're doing is? After she said you're not the first one to do this, she says:

[game in French] Je suis tout de même surprise de voir une aventurière de votre trempe distribuer des tracts dans la rue. Vous n'avez rien trouvé de mieux, comme travail? On dit qu'il n'y a pas de sot métier, mais quand même...

[Google translate:] I'm still surprised to see an adventurer of your caliber distributing leaflets in the street. Haven't you found anything better for work? They say there is no stupid job, but still ...

I ear from here the devs says between them: "OMG they really do all thoses quests?!"

You can still say they bring something to the lore. I still say it's pretty much nothing.

On the other hand they bring discomfort in every possible ways:
- You do them? It takes hours. Good for you if you like them.
- You don't do them? They stay on map and hide everything below their markers.
- You don't do them? They're listed first in the Recommendations window. Making that usefull window useless.
- You don't do them? You'll miss, hidden among them, some worthy ones. Remember craft in Ruby Sea/Tamamizu and who you deal with?

The main reason I see for them to be is to take us time.
To take us time at every new update. To take us time before we reach new areas. To take us time before we reach dungeons. To take us time before we level up. To take us time before we gear up. To take us time before we've seen the game content.

No matter how much I like this game, I cant recommand it to anyone. Those sidequests only feel like a troll from the game: "you will get rid of them! You don't want to, they bore you, they'll take dozens of hours from your limited spare playtime, but you'll do them! To get rid of them!"
