If your only character is a level 20 toon , then keep in mind that it may be a bit early to be making ANY assumptions about the game . There ' s just so much you don ' t know yet , and the only way to learn it is playing . I ' ve been going through this with my wife who just started playing a few weeks ago , and she keeps asking the best way to do things . I keep having to remind her that it ' s a game , and the best way is whatever you find the most fun doing . Based on the stuff you say you ' re looking for , I ' d suggest just leveling to 110 doing whateverwherever , then start looking around . Especially at this point , any content 100 is either a ghost town , or is being done by people who tend to powerlevel toons . Neither of those is going to be very welcoming to a new person . Once you hit 110 though , you have a little more understanding of what to do , and can then get a guild . Then you might be able to find a new friend or two who will level a toon with you , which is much more fun . You may even find some cool people while you ' re leveling , which will be much better than trying to actually seek people out . I took a long break a few years back and came back to a disbanded guild . It was probably not even 10 hours in that I ended up teaming up with someone to quest and ended up getting a guild invite to my current alliance guild . Don ' t worry so much about finding people yet explore the game on your own terms . I don ' t play as much as I used to , or I ' d offer to help show you around long term .
