The addon creators also didn’t make any money.

Welcome to the future
You sound like a fun person
Um… Congrats on reading quickly. I bet you can’t read faster than I can not read it at all. That’s the point of the addon, not that people are slow readers🤦

I’ve already read most of these quests and sometimes the AI voice is funny.
All the trolls sound birtish.
A kicked dog will yelp.
Okay, you want a cookie? You can also read the text dialog faster than I can because I just don’t read it at all. Never have, never will. It’s my main gripe with FFXIV. Does this have anything to do with intelligence or illiteracy? No, it doesn’t.

Yeah, Questie is great isn’t it?
It’s better than Thottbot

while the voice questing seems nice yet reading quests is far better than hearing the quest.
because when you read you can stop & imagine while during the listen you only focus on listing to the voice.
Which gets to my point: you wouldn’t even be able to even play this version of the game as-is without add-ons doing the work for you, because you would have to actually read the quest dialogue in order to know what to do.
You can argue it has nothing to do with literacy, but there’s actually a strong correlation between literacy and pure unwillingness to read.
Most people don’t have poor literacy because of their intelligence, it’s simply because they don’t have the patience and discipline to do any reading in the first place. The best way to improve is by practice.
lol, is this a joke? I played the game before questie back in 2004. Wowhead and thottbot were both a thing. You know, where you just look up the name of the quest and it tells you how to do it. It still involves reading, just not the pointless dialog. I played the game perfectly fine back then too.
There really isn’t a strong correlation between the two. Most people that are illiterate just didn’t have the means to a proper education, grew up in a time where working was more important than education, or simply did not care about their own education. Not because they were just too lazy to read.
For example, I absolutely hate reading and will not read on my downtime or off time “for fun.” However, I have a career where I have to be able to critically think and act based off of reading reports, diagnoses, and written orders. I often have to have a deep enough understanding of what’s being said with words to know when something is contraindicated for a particular mediation or disease.
In order to get to where I am now with my career I had to take many classes that involved reading and having a pretty impressive amount of retention when it comes to medical, pharmacology, pathology, toxicology, anatomy, and physiology. I still absolutely hate reading. But I can because I had the proper education. If I haven’t said it enough, I still despise reading.
I’ve liked it because of the lore that I otherwise skip.
There are still some things to be fixed, like incorrect male/female voices or races in some situations, but overall it is great.
Bro, you think it takes everyone having a post-grad education to have less than half the country reading above a 4th grade level?
You think I can’t remember being in Highschool and hearing half my class still sounding out their words when they were called on in Junior year English class?
They’re the same adults now who are part of the aforementioned half of the population reading at a 4th grade level, all you had to do was pick up a book at a library or read the video game you’re playing but you spent tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars to obtain your level instead 
Like i said, it has all to do with education and access to good education. If half your class was still sounding out words in highschool you must have been in a pretty low performing school district with a low standard of education level.
My school would automatically move you out of general education if you were struggling to read that bad.
Yeah, money bought my reading comprehension skills alone. Having access to a high quality general education had absolutely nothing to do with it.

Try following your argument through to its logical conclusion, the other half of the class would have received the same “low standard of education”. The playingfield is even.
If your statement that quality of education is the end-all-be-all was true, there wouldn’t be another half which didn’t have that issue.
The difference was those who had an aversion to reading, and those that did not. All you’ve done is self-report that if you were in identical conditions to myself, you’d be in the half sounding out your words.
That’s just it. Equal education doesn’t mean good education. Some people require more help to learn something than others. For example, you might have picked up on reading faster. Just like someone else may pick up math faster than others.
Good education is when the one’s struggling more than others receive adequate help to help them achieve and thrive. For example, my school would pull students out of general ed and place them in programs more suited toward their own independent needs.
Again, people not being able to read isn’t because they’re lazy and not wanting to read.
I don’t want to read, ever, yet I can still read. BECAUSE I HAD A GOOD EDUCATION.
First of all, I highly doubt that. I was reading above my average at a very young age. Never liked reading, but never struggled with it.
