Thinking of quitting :(

I really like WoW but I've got a big problem! I've got all these quests to do and all my friends are higher level because they started months before me. Nobody wants to roll an alt to level up with me because they're all off doing high level stuff now. 
All the times I've grouped with someone they just zoom around and finish up their part of the quest and then run off. Right now I'm on a normal server, should I maybe reroll a character on a RP server? Are they nicer there?
Please help!!! I'm so frustrated and there's no good betas coming out yet (I really want to try Gods and Heroes though because it looks really fun!) so I could use some help because ootherwise I think maybe I should just quit or something. Too bad, its a nice game but the people are so awful sometimes. 
Thank you!!!

It has been my experience that once people hit 60 they start rolling new characters, so maybe your friends will have to catch up with you!
Unfortunately, you've chosen a class that is harder to solo at first (compared to other classes).
If you decide to keep playing and make it to your 40s, you will not have any trouble finding groups for instances. And if you make it to your 50s, you'll have your choice of groups to pick from.
I would wager you'll find more people who are not in such a rush on the RP servers.
And if you are a carebear, as you say you are, you will definitely have more fun on a RP/Normal/PvE server.
People can be rude on RP servers just like anywhere else, but other players are less tolerant of it, because rudeness often comes in OOC form.
it's Blizzard's fault for making soloing so convient while still having the long grinds.
Most people don't want to take the time to group (even me) because of the convience of soloing. That's just the way WoW is and will always be till you hit the high end game.
Hey,
What server are you on? Whats your character name? You playing US or Europe?
Some information might help so that mmorpg.com people might help you out ^^
Ask one or two of them to run you through an instance in a group, so you get some experience and items and whatnot. I'm level 12 right now (just bought the game), and once a day my level 30 friend takes me through Ragefire Chasm to get some items to disenchant and to get me some exp. Also, don't worry about doing quests on your own - you'll start to get closer to their level the more you play. Often, people will get to level 30 or 40 and want to try something "different" and start a new character, so maybe you'll have a friend who wants to start over soon
i say join arthas, roll a rogue, and join in on the mass chaos the honor system has introduced....the game has only gotten better since it was implemented, its so much more fulfilling gaining levels when your looking over your back and sneaking some cold steel into the back of unsuspecting horde. also its not as bad as the WOW forums speak...99% of those posters are dramaqueens and make it sound way worse then it really is, much like before the system i find it rare to even see another person (either side). Sure i get ganked, and i go ganking, sometimes i die, sometimes i win
My experience is that no class is as easy to level as the priest. Everyone wants you in their group. You should have any hard time finding people to do quests with you. Atleast that's my experience of playing a healer. (Currently a lvl 54 druid EU) I also started a month after my friends but caught up very soon.
i would say that your best bet is to find a guild that contain people of your level. In a few time you will get to know them and everything will fix itself. Guilds tends to have a mix of levels, so it is quite possible you will find people to party with.
Can't say if on RP we are nicer, cause i have not seen how the Normal servers are. situation is quite good though, at least i think so.

I'd agree that the community is the least friendly and talkative that I have seen in any MMORG that I have played. I guess because the general chat changes from area to area. As others have said, find a good guild. That definitely makes all the difference in the world.
You could always buy another account and level up with yourself
Maybe i can ask my guild if you can join
they are realy nice!
but also little high lvl tho but some of them keep starting new characters and aften help other.
We are playing alliance on Skullcrusher in EU
Pick up groups are so easy to find in WoW.
Between the meeting stones for instances and the LFG zone channel, you can almost always find others to group with in order to accomplish harder quests.
I have found the playerbase to be very friendly and helpful.
