I've found the community very helpful, but I have primarily been leveling around the Commonlands. I have made a couple trips to Qeynos to work on the monk quests over there, and even with the sparse population there, I saw people looking to buff newbies. I saw a mid-40's Druid helping out a group in Blackburrow.
I've also been able to find cheap or even free ports more often than not. Not because I ask for them, but because a lot of people don't want to take 20 plat from an untwinked level 14 monk, I guess. I've also been able to find binds in Qeynos, FP, and GFay when I've needed them. That's all been very convenient for me, as moving around to keep the scene varied is much more important to leveling speed to me.
Aside from that, I was given 100 plat by a kind traveler, which I used to raise my tailoring to make myself cured silk. It's not easy to get started from scratch, but that's really most of the appeal of the game to me.
Nice Silva/Newton gif, by the way.
