Can we add some kind of mechanism in game to point out unfinished quests? It's kinda sadistic to leave them in game unfinished so people (me) spend hours upon hours (across many characters and a decade of time) trying to complete them when they're not actually possible to complete.

Few examples:

Doors that can't be opened in Violet Woods (not the palm key door).
Ciphered phrase and altar in Kobold Area
Shrine below Dragon Sea

Etc.

Same goes for quests that were removed - I mean not everyone was here when they were removed...

Something simple like a note near it or etched into it saying there's nothing else to look for because this isn't finished would be great.

The third one of those you listed can actually be done far as I know(not sure that it is a quest specifically), though I don't know how many people have actually figured it out exactly, if you mean getting the item past the entry point.

I never thought people could wield the spirit blade when I first started playing, but turns out I was wrong. Some things are just very niche and tougher to figure out than others.

But I do understand the frustration, I spent a hell of a lot of time figuring out stuff in the dragon sea, and never did figure out the very last part myself.

The seantryn captain's quest is another one that I think can't actually be done, but again, that might be more assumption than fact.

The third one last I heard from an Imm on these boards was that you were never meant to get it out of there and that it wasn't finished. The ways I've seen people get it out of there historically were always bugs, like Priolith being able to sing the bard song that makes people flee to get past.

If they're not "unfinished" then by all means, they're fine as is, but the reason I bring it up is all of those were mentioned to me at some point as being unfinished quests. Basically, if there's any sort of way to complete it - that's fine - but if for a fact there's absolutely no way to do it, it'd be better to let people know.

Can be done.
