I appreciate the idea of not being shown where to go and all, and I can understand why people like this, but I personally didn't enjoy it. A game shouldn't assume you magically know every destination in it and how to get there.
I don't think MMO's are for you, but the developers did voice they want to market the game towards both casual and hardcore players. So we'll see how things pan out.
