Here's what's going on. My balance character who just started Dragonspyre is going through and collecting quests that are already available to him, using the quest finder (because sometimes you can complete quest requirements from different areas of the same world than where it says to). While sitting in the Basillica, where all the teleport doors are, I'm on the quest to talk to Rendor Downbringer in Plaza of Conquests. The arrow is pointing for me to go through the Necropolis doorway. The problem is, I haven't gotten far enough into the game for it to be active. That said, that doorway, in this specific circumstance, is NOT the fastest way to get there. It may very well be the fastest once the doorway is open, but it isnt now, and it leads us to an area we cant get to yet. We CAN get to the Plaza of Conquests going through the Atheneum doorway, which is almost the same amount of steps once you go through it. The quest arrow should takes us through an available pathway to reach the goal and not one locked to us. The quest arrow should always point us in the fastest accessible direction.
I to had this. I am also in Dragonspyre, and had that same thing. It clearly annoyed me that I was too lazy to do what Cyrus told me to. Therefore, I have completed most side quests yet I'm in the Pyromancer's tomb (recently got the portal stone for the Necropolis). It is best to use these not-so-shortcuts when you aren't doing the main questline, and I do think they should implement that in the game. You should head on over into the dorms section of the message boards and suggest it to Professor Greyrose, Famela, Dworgyn, Cyrus, or Wu (ask for admin reply).
See you in the spiral!
