A request to create an addon to turn off the quest helper

As far as I know, there is no in-game way and no still functioning addon that completely turns off the default quest helper.

Thus a kind request to those on the subreddit, who have the skill, time and wish to develop addons and the desire to help others, if it is possible, could you please build an addon that would allow to:

  1. turn off quest tracking on the mini-map (blueish zones indicating quest area) — as of now you can just turn off the minimap;

  2. turn off the outline of quest objects (glimmer or highlights of the edges) — via interface as of now you can choose to have one of those;

  3. the tooltip in the right bottom corner that upon mouseovering a quest object/npc indicates the name of the quest and how many more quest items/npcs you need to collect/kill to complete the quest;

  4. not quest helper related but it would be fantastic if the addon would reintroduce the old way of quest appearance when the text would slowly roll out accompanied by the sound of a quill scratching paper.

  5. not questing related, but it would be also great to be able to turn off minimap indicators of rare npcs and object spawns (silver stars or grey arrows pointing towards a rare if the minmap is zoomed in).

The reason behind this request is that I enjoy questing ane exploring, and I find the forced on quest helper and rare spawn indicators restricting me from searching and exploring as much as I want and so undermining immersion.
