Yeah because we didn't see half the forums having a AWESOME time trying to find all the glowing stones before SE decided to plaster them on the map for us.

Take that as a great example as how hidden content can be fuled and not hurt by community places such as forums. It was a mad dash to find all the stones. What was the reward nothing but knowing that we found something the dev team slid in secretly in the patch.

Happy ending for all parties, the community got to have a blast figuring the positioning and possible meaning behind the stones and the rest of the community got to learn the locations. Why SE had to go and just plaster them on our maps for the quest is beyond me. Perfect oportunity to get people to actually explore the world before it's gone and they ruin it by giving you exact direction to every single stone on the map.
