Well you've got to start somewhere right?
Not sure how you are missing that the fact that the worlds aren't hand-designed is the attraction here, because it heightens the sense of exploration that nobody knows what might be out there.
This is why you put secrets into your game. Design a world full of them, and so too will people wonder what they can find. Secrets are an almost completely lost art at this point though.
