How are we supposed to level up?

i agree its horrible, they should make 2 servers imo

You can always grind for exp.
Get a gathering prof and make some money to buy low level greens since they are quite cheap.
That will help you grind faster.
Skip the quests that are too painful to do because of other players.
Do the ones that aren't.
Things open up a lot more once you're past 20 or so.
It gets better if you stick with it.

when you just "grind up" you arent getting faction rep that you get for quests so everything is going to cost you more , especially faction mounts. Not doing quests puts you back a lot financially during your first few months on the server

If the only problem so far to complain about is a very high population... Well I say there is no problem. Make some friends and group up. Ive been grouping with strangers all the way through. You get to know the players and start recognizing names as you quest. Its an MMO ( SOCIAL ). Use it to your advantage.

Why is everyone leveling up (and QQing) a top priority. There is more to this game even at lvl 1 than just killing mobs and quests. To name a few

Learn skinning. Skin the crap out of everything and make some silver (you will need it later)

Explore. It gives you Experience. Regardless of your level you will eventually need to WALK all the way to the other zone/city to take flight paths, so why not do it at lvl 1. Yes you can die, but just resurrect at the graveyard (sometimes it saves a lot of time by putting you ahead, sometimes it brings you back). But there is no resurrection sickens until 10.

Lear fishing. Fish the crap out until 75.

Learn Cooking. Cook

...Maybe because not everybody likes those things?

The whole point of a game of this scope is doing what you find fun. You don't get to decide what's fun for everyone else.
