Ohh My I wish they would just add an option to turn OFF the quest hints and Arrows, In that way you won't get obvious help with every single quest ingame, PLEASE make it an option in settings..:)
I know you can turn off quest arrows for the NPC's that gives out the quest , but that is NOT what I want...Not that I complain about it thou 
I have noticed in the dialogue and or quest description that the help you get in there is enough to manage the quest, maybe some of them needs to get an added description for this to work...
It seems like a feature that can be added rather easy

I have reported this before- that most quests do not require much independent thought. Everything you need is usually right there in front of you. But yes I absolutely hope they make quests more intellectually challenging in the future.

Quests already take long enough. They'd have to triple my XP to put up with shenanigans. Their descriptions about where to go and what to do are bad, and sometimes following the markers doesn't help. Not to mention when you come across one that's glitched out and you need to relog or just give up.
Not against putting the option in, I just don't see how it would be better.
Just running in the direction of an arrow on a map or compass dumbs down the entire questing....
If you like that kind of gameplay... there are enough MMo´s that give that experience.. another one is overdone.

I agree. Someone commented a while ago about a quest-giver (can't remember which one) who asked you to search for a mysterious hidden cave ....... only to have a marker immediately pop up showing you exactly where it is. I'm all for relaxation, but it ended up being too much of a Skinner-box where one pecks at quest markers for his reward pellet of xp/gold.
Welcome to how the modern games are made...
That's why I just left all the MMORPGs and went back to playing Morrowind. There at least I don' get the feeling that the game is treating me like I'm a complete retard.
But this is what kids wanted in the games, otherwise it wouldn't be there...
It's really odd, Zenimax has opted for many things that today would be considered oldschool, like no mini compass for example, no nametags.
They have an OPTION to remove questgivers..wich makes it impoosible to find those unless you talk to every NPC you see
But they do not give you the option of turning of this AD/HD feature, I can read , and I can hear just fine..Just put an option for turning off quest Arrows
It's odd really
Well, I did som checking, and this issue can't be modded ..
Anyway, I would NEVER install ANY mod part from maybe this one ..and this one can't be made.
Modding is a PLAGUE..
exactly this is the reason modern MMo´s will never again be like the old games...... everyone wants his own taste inside each MMO....
The game to me is quite simple....
1) You level trough quests and stories in PvE
2) You do dungeons for better gear
3) You do PvP for having fun...
Promote it like that... and everyone knows what he gets...
There allways needs to be a bit of Ballance tough.... If an NPC marked a wellknown place on your Map, the arrows would be okay... and i can definately live with the marked areas some quests show (the circles) ..... but when you are searching for something straight arrows dont work

I can't entirely agree, but I wouldn't mind seeing something where, maybe, you don't see a quest arrow until you ask someone, "Hey, do you know where Joe Blow lives?" If they do then it can populate your map. I could get on board with something like that.

I hate quest based progression with a passion.
When quests in games were few and far between, I would love reading all of it and figuring out the little puzzles about where to go, when to be there, and what to do .
But the way its been done since WoW is a plague upon MMOs.
Kill tasks used to be loot based and you could buy the loot or pre grind the mobs and then go and turn in tokens once you had farmed your fill. Now its all about running back and forth and back and forth and accepting mundane quests from NPCs with those ugly floating quest markers.
Since WoW, the gameplay has become so myopic. Players are only focused on those damn quest markers and there is an constant need for mashing buttons to do anything. It ruined the MMORPG experience for me and turned, what was a great social experience, into a mediocre solo action rpg.
This sort of game play has its merits. Its highly addictive, with the constant rewards for clearly defined tasks. And I did enjoy it for a while. But I enjoy my farming and my socializing more. And that lost out in the new way of making MMOs.
Quests should be an epic way of introducing players to lore or to give them a challenge out of the ordinary. And they dont need be over in 5-30 minutes..
*edit* Sorry for ranting off topic.
Yup that's one of them.
It can and it has been.
"Modding is a PLAGUE" wow ok you deserve what you get then.
It doesnt work..as you see in the screenshots the Arrow is still Active in the Compass.
By saying that modding is a plague, well I mean that in the sense that it brings in all sorts of tools that later becomes mandatory in PvP.
