Happy Friday, Wizards! I hope you had a fantastic week, and now, it's about to get more fantastic, as it's time for Feedback Friday!
Quest helper was introduced not long after we opened up the Spiral years ago, and has become an integral part for many Wizards to find their way around. We're curious how and when you use it? Please vote on the poll - Do you use quest helper? If you have additional comments, please discuss in the thread below.
Until next time, have fun! ::grin::

"Never" is a strong word - but I rarely turn it off. Most of the time I really rely on it.
One comment though, I do wish there was some color coding.
Maybe it could remain yellow for the bulk of the quests - sides -but if your on a Main Storyline Quest - the color is automatically different. Maybe blue or magenta or green?
Anything to make it easier to know if your on the main qests.
It's unobtrusive and helpful so I see no reason to turn it off. Only rarely does it lead me astray, like telling me I need to get through a jungle thicket when I need to be entering the sigil nearby.
It's also fairly rare, but sometimes the quest finder arrow gets stuck pointing straight ahead and will not turn. Quitting out to your classroom does not fix the problem, but quitting to the desktop and reloading the game does seem to fix the problem.
I never turn it off, even when I need to ignore it to do other quests or in instances like the Vault of Ice (the arrow will only direct you to the main boss, not the other three you need to defeat first)
Well, I mention the occasionally frozen quest arrow, and now I have a permanent frozen quest arrow on my myth. The quest arrow is working fine for all my other wizards. I've quit the game and reloaded several times. The only wizard without a working quest arrow is my myth. I'm not sure if this is worth reporting, but it's serendipitous that you have a Feedback Friday on this topic when I'm actually having some real problems with it.
Having a frozen quest arrow really makes me realize how much I've come to rely on it.
I agree with Helenie Nightseer that never is a strong word but I too almost never bother turning it off. I also like her idea of changing colors for different quest(s)/types but would also like to suggest incorporating something in to let you know that another closer quest is available. I'll leave it up to you to figure how to do that, but maybe a dotted/translucent version that would show up or a smaller arrow that would set next to the big one (and of course you could make it an option to turn off in the game menu)

I'd like to point out the quest helper is very, well helpful but sometimes it glitches (it may have been fixed I haven't quested in awhile as I'm and avid PvPer) but it used to sometimes point me toward a wall or something and just logging out and back in seemed to fix it. Just letting you know, I kinda think you've already fixed it.
