Just go on and talk to every single NPC out there hoping to find something, never read anything other than npc lines (that means no quest summary), and never access your journal. Maybe we should even change it so that quest journals have a vague description of what the quest is about so that you can never, ever, finish quests you undertook a long time ago because there's no way to know what to do unless you look it up online.

This is an MMO, there are no secrets. People post quests online and that info gets passed on to game lightning fast. And personally, I disagree with anything anyone suggests the moment the proposal amounts to adding an unnecessary hinderance to the game. Making me alt+tab and look for my quest giver or what to do online instead of just seeing quest and quest destination markers is exactly that.
People look up the big things, not the little things. Nobody is going to look up *Dead man on a boat*(not a real quest) if it doesn't hold any meaning. Why do all quests have to have a "reward" instead of the reward being fun. That is true, that people look stuff up, ONLY if it's something they need, though, in ffxiv I have yet looked up anything online. I ask people, communicate, work together. As jyxn said people looked for all of the twelve before SE was liek HEY THEY ARE RIGHT HERE EVERYONE! Why do they have to do that? That's my question, it's fine if MOST things are marked by se heck that's cool, just not everything, leave some to be explored by the people, even if they do post it online.
