Personally i like having the option of having built missions sitting there waiting to be done, not forcing me to do them but they are always there if i need something to do. But there is nothing more fun than just getting a few bits and pieces together and going out hunting with friends. sometimes it involves other players (usually hunting another group of my friends and trying to kill them before they get us, sitting on mumble or w/e and dropping clues and trying to work out where their group are at.) I would have to agree with Thesreyn for what he has said. Some people just cant be bothered to think up their own missions or put any thought into what they are doing other than blasting zeds or other players. They expect everything to be laid out for them so that they can sit down and just go. Mainstream games these days nearly always have pre-described routes through levels and that is what people are used to and when they don't have that security of being led by the hand through the levels they get scared and cant think of what they can do. This is just my opinion and view and sorry if i have repeated anything that other people have said ^^! Feel free to tell me if you think what I'm saying is crap, its only my view on what I've seen and heard so far from some of the players on this.
