    This is why quest markers make the game for 2 year olds

    So I'm doing the leatherworker level20 quest, and for one part it tells me "walk to the chocobo stables and back". I'm like ok, sure, easy, I'll autorun there and back, I check the map to make sure I'm going the right direction. As I look at the map, I see white quest markers showing me the PATH to take to walk from the gridania leatherworkers guild, to the chocobo stables. I think "really? it's so complex for someone to figure something THAT simple out that they need to have their handheld for a 3 minute walk to the stables and back?". If you read the quest, which took a whole 3 seconds of NPC speech, you clearly see he says "walk to the chocobo stables and back", I mean cmon, is that too long for you to read?

    Seriously, was that needed at all? I see tons of stuff like this when doing quests, the quest markers are NOT NEEDED at all for almost everything. The only time they're needed is to show you "Hey this NPC will give a quest!", and even that could be changed to NPC saying "hey come over here", or should be edited so that the big white quest thing isn't viewable from sooo far away. The quests say EXACTLY what to do and where to go if you read them, which takes a whole 15 seconds. Are people this lazy now? I don't think they are but the game thinks we are for some reason I could understand quest markets to show random NPCs that give quests, but telling you exactly where to go when it's clearly stated in the quest text is just going completely overboard.

    Can we please revert or change the quest markers please? This is insanity, we are not 2 year olds, why does the game treat us like we are?

    edit: I deleted all the mod edits, I didn't curse or anything kind of weird what they edited out o_o
