On this, I have to disagree. The sparklies indicating quest items have been one of the best things added. At first I thought it was "easy-mode", but it allows the game designers to make more immersive and seamless environments. Instead of a Crystalsong Carrot being a big, orange, *obvious* thing so you know to pick it up, they can make it blend in perfectly with the surroundings. You only notice them if you have the quest, and they don't stick out the rest of the time.

As for the quest tracking, I swear I don't have any kind of addon doing it, yet my tooltips have been showing that I have "x/y" taken care of for quest foo. Now this is only for quests I am on; it doesn't show quests the mobs might be for that I don't have (which is fine).
