Auto Tracking Replaced By Error Message Instead?

Ok, so when I finished like the first quest in POTCO, I noticed that there was another quest guide light that would show up at the Governor's Mansion. At first, I thought it was a glitch. But then, the quest tracker stated that it was "Unlimited Access Only".
Well, as you can see it really confused me.
How about they change that so that instead of automatically doing that, it displays an error message for Basic Access people like me?
It would certainly be a LOT less confusing...

Getting an error message might not be confusing for you, but would confuse others I'm sure because they would assume it was a real error and then they would be asking for it to be fixed.

Having the "Unlimited Access Only" message lets you know when you have hit the limits of gameplay for Basic Access account. This type of message is used on Toontown also and points out what you could have access to if you subscribed to the game.

And while it might be less annoying for Basic Access players if the tracking feature was turned off automatically when they hit the playing limits of their account, it would defeat Disney's purpose of trying to remind you to think about paying for the game to gain access to all features and quests.

Touché. XD
Well, they should at least have one that says "This Quest is Unlimited Access Only" that pops up ONCE so that it doesn't bug you all the time.

Hahahaha...you expect the company that has the song "It's a Small World" as one of it's themes not to be annoying. That song alone is a major earworm.
