Still an additional not necessary non value-adding movement. Hence waste. Of course you can argue playing at all is a waste of time per definition.

Eh I'd rather argue that having a tab that prioritizes important quests adds value to the quests tab. I just press down because I'm familiar with the system, but that doesn't mean everyone else that plays is. Edit: & people always overlook that focused quests let you launch their activities without having to select it on the director. That's huge value added that should be applied to all quests.

I am aware of all of that and yet it's neither efficient nor user-friendly. Reminding me of desire paths/herd paths... people define what is efficient considering circumstances and not theorists "designing" what they deem being required for the clients they are supposed to be serving and usually/regularly leading to sub-optimal results.
