It does share info from group members. What I like about it is it walks you through every single step in the most efficient manner. it puts an arrow that points you to where you need to go, not just in the direction of where you need to go, but to way points to the fastest route. I don't know how many times some other quest helper addon has put an arrow to direct me towards a quest, but you end up having to run around a mountain or whatever, this will help you not waste time looking for the best way to get to that point. It literally guides you down each turn in the path. I sometimes get side tracked when I am doing quests, I come back and forget what step I was on etc.. It will tell you if a quest is optional ( not part of the main story line) and tells you if there is a quest near by to pick up. I just think it does it better than anything else i have used.
