I like the story and I do sidequests here and there, but I understand wanting to hide quests where you just have to pick up some item or something and don't even get some interesting lore.

I personally think quests that give interesting lore info should have a different icon than quests that just give some exp or items with minimal info or so. I would at least hide them temporarily to reduce clutter on the map. As of now, you just don't know if a quest will be interesting or not.

I have done all sidequests in HW, and im SB I have done all from Othard and only some from Gyr Abania, so I'm not even finished there yet.
And the ARR quests are just too many to even start, and I'm playing since 2013... so I'd really appreciate some distinction between types of quests.
