Beginner quests not being able to transfer from starting locations

[10Shots1Kill]

I started in Wilds End as a Shaman, and I want to play with my friends who started in Thronefest which is a considerably more convenient place to level early. I got TPd by a nice wizard but now I can't seem to find another nice wizard.

The walk to Wilds End is literally a 40 minute walk and being under leveled forces me to watch a 50 minute youtube video of the "best route" or I just keep dying and losing the low amount of levels that I do have.... Oh and I only want to complete the carpenter beginning quest line that is stuck over there.

Honestly, if you are going to have people start out in different locations, make some way that does NOT rely on the availability of others to fast travel between them. The walk has many chances to catch death and there is a steep death pen. for someone who is literally just starting out

The game should have warned people about creating a Halfling or Elf and recommended that their first character be Human. Beyond that, everything is fine and when Wild's End gets more content (likely many months from now) no one will remember the initial hardship of starting there.

The journey between Wild's End and Thronefast should be long and dangerous -- much like the journey between Freeport and Qeynos (before PoK ruined it). When new starting areas are added I would expect the same: new characters are isolated until strong -- or brave -- enough to escape so they can "see the world."
