What do you intend to do when you're at max level? Structured PvP? You can do that at level 2. W^3? You can do that at level 2. Jumping puzzles? Again, level 2. Exploration? You guessed it, level 2. Granted you'll need a couple of levels before you can efficiently participate in world events and dungeons, but those, too, can be experienced at level 2, when the world opens up to you.
I don't care that you or anyone else doesn't like it, that's how the game was designed. There is no obligation to grind experience, to level up, to grind instances, to grind points, to gear up, before having fun with the game. It's designed to BE fun as supposed to LEAD to fun.
But of course, "durr, endgame cant be anything but raiding at level 80, because that's what endgame is in every other game!!! Derp!"
