I'm sure your post will make the difference and get this fixed. Though, I do agree that it is annoying.

eh, I had to get it off my chest
The problems with the Mission Map Markers in the Seer Marino Story Arc? That's also happening in other Story Arcs as well! The Devs have so many Hotfixes to work on in this game that they have to give some a higher priority than others, but The Devs will eventually get around to this annoying little problem eventually.
Try my 3 MArcs: I.D.#67166:Protect the Artifacts!! I.D.#97724:Level-Up Time. I.D.#243803:Witch War! Salem vs. Croatoa!
It's been broken for YEARS. It's one of the better story arcs one gets around that level. It's one of the first times a new player might encounter a signature villain.
How long could it possibly take to redirect the marker?
I'm sure they'll fix it now that the request was made in all caps. 
Seriously, there are several pointers that need "fixing", but I'm sure that's down the list a bit, below the major bugs and new features.

Yeah, you're right. It just makes a major story arc for villains a PITA and well... villains have enough content.
A work around for this is to go to another map, than go back to Mercy.
If it ain't broke set it on fire, then say it was a fault in the design.

Yeah, that's convenient. 
It really should be fixed though, I agree. Problem is, I have *never* seen any dev post in here. Ever. So that this would be seen by them is a chance of 0:1
Of course, I could have just missed it somewhere, but if they did, it was a rare event, and everyone should have bought lottery tix or something.
Bug it. Every. Single. Time. Even if you're not in that arc. Start the game, get in any character, and immediately bug it.
/oh, that's evil, please don't.

Moving away from any of the markers and typing /stuck will work to reset the waypoints, most of time.
And yes, a fix would be nice.

Turns out that it's NOT Seer Marino's arc that causes the problem, but the building.
Last week, I got the Defeat All Snakes In The Casino mission from Mongoose, and then logged my character off in that building to earn credit for the Arachnos Agent Day Job. When I logged the character in the next day, I exited the building, and the map marker was pointing towards the building I had just exited.
So, as you can see, it's the building that seems to be causing the error. I'm going to see if I can reliably duplicate it on other characters, and if I can, I'll be /bug'ing it, and probably sending a PM to War Witch, since, IIRC, she's the Map Goddess...

I had a theory it was the building, but I never actually tried testing it out. I wonder what makes that building any different than any other open building? Maybe after you exit the building the waypoint doesn't count you as being on the outside of the door. So maybe the switch that's activated by clicking the door, that tells whether you are outside or indoors, doesn't get flipped. Or how ever doors work.
