I don't want less things mapped because I enjoy mapping things I already know about, I want something that is a minor inconvenience to me, because it will gradually give me more people to play with over time, which I think we can agree is what this community needs the most. It's called a delayed gratification strategy, something that many people here unfortunately have a poor grasp of.
Delayed gratification is about self restraint. What you're talking about is imposed restraint. I think your assuming most players get satisfaction from the kind of gameplay you're advocating for. But actually many are thankful for the convenience the current system brings, however frayed it may be.
I hardly think it's ruinous to one's experience to have that data readily available. As already mentioned there is the hardcore restart to circumvent that for those that want it. Either way if you're going to take discovery seriously then you need to use your imagination.
