I don't experience that too much honestly. my biggest issue in that vein, is telling people to get to X place to start, but they take forever. partially my fault for not just starting them there. But still, they take their precious time. In Allaria, I usually set it up so they know where to to go in their first/second posts.

lol yeah. I have a solution for this too.

[b]Situation A:[/b] Players move on their own based on things I describe because of their own motivations. They have spatial awareness, all is well.

[b]Situation B:[/b] Players move on their own loosely based on things I describe because of their own motivations. They lack spatial awareness. Play the course correction game and carefully repair any time paradoxes they will inevitable create. (This is the most common.)

[b]Situation C:[/b] Players aren't sure what to do but have spatial awareness. NPC tells them where to go.

[b]Situation D:[/b] Players aren't sure what to do and lack spatial awareness. Give them a chance to prove me wrong with an NPC telling them where to go. Failing that, have the NPC lead the way to a visually clearer and more open area, and consider creating basic ELI5 maps to help them learn spatial awareness.
