Is there a way to disable quest markers over NPC's Heads?

Now bear with me…

I was bored, very bored. This boredom was the inspiration for a personal WoW play challenge; Level up a character without completing a single quest.

I know I know! So much content unavailable to me, so much gear I will miss out on, entire areas and even continents that will be unreachable. But I can’t be the first one to think of this.

To make it even more difficult I have decided not to use any heirlooms, fast travel (Griffons or Hearthstones), and I have decided that I will not use flying mounts. GASP

So far it has been an enjoyable experience as I am not running this way and that collecting or killing for NPCs. I am doing what I want and going where I want and as I explore I am seeing things I haven’t seen in years and some things I have never seen in 17 years of play.

Which brings me to the question posed in the title of this topic…

I would like to disable the asterix quest markers over the heads of all NPCs. Is there a mod or something that would actually do that? Or are those things so hard coded into the game there is just no getting around them?

They are a distraction that I would like to see gone for this experience.

I expect that there is likely a very short answer for this question but I thought I would ask just in case.

Thanks in advance and all the best to everyone.

Here’s a challenge for you: Try to play the game 100% in first person mode, dungeons too if you’re feeling adventurous.

Tried that with a feral Druid yesterday. It was a blast.

As far as I am aware there is no way to not see the quest markers. Who knows, there maybe some add on somewhere but Ive be very wary of that because it could cause a conflict and game issues.

PS: there is an option on the map to adjust quest markers but it doesnt seem to work on all quests. If you open M and look in the map area in a top right there are two small markers, one like an magnifiying glass. You can turn off options there for a number of things including Quest Objectives.
