I really enjoy playing from a starting point of not knowing what I'm getting myself into.

I think they've dumbed down the exploration experience by doing things like showing you the exact spot you need to go to when taking on quests. Point A to point B to point C all spelled out in your journal takes all of the exploration aspects out of it.

Yeah knowing you can take 4 players or 8 players to a quest before it's released won't take much of the fun out of it but I guess I'd rather just be told by the company NPC in town than a dev post. IMO they shouldn't have even told us what camps we should go to. That's something you should find out in game.
