IMO the key to prevent aimless players is to have them create characters together and ensure that they already have a collective goal. What is it that they want to do with their lives? Why uss this group of people working together? If you can answer those questions it's much easier for people to sort of direct themselves. Plus it lets you develop content in their direction rather than the other way around.
