World of Warcraft patch version 3.2 will add new quest markers to the world map, allowing players to hunt out missions far easier, according to the latest patch notes.

It's a move that some of the more hardcore players may see as a diluting of the game's 'exploration' aspects, but we're sure the lazier, more casual WoW-ers will be pleased.

Here's the official word on how the new quest markers will work:

"User Interface: Quest creatures and objects will now show on the player's world map.

• A skull graphic will be placed on the map in the general area where creatures players must kill can be found.
  
• A glowing skull graphic will be placed on the map in the general area where creatures can be found that drop quest objects.
  
• A gear graphic will be placed on the map in the general area where players must loot objects found in the world.
  
• A chat bubble graphic will be placed on the map in the general area where players must interact with a specific NPC.
  
• X marks the spot on the map where players must reach, discover or explore a designated area.
  
• A yellow question mark graphic will show on the map to provide the location of a NPC whose quest the player has completed
