Always below the recommended level?
Explore the open world. You can’t rely on story-mode only to level up.
Learn a couple of crafts and get them up to 100 or so. Cooking and Jewelry are good ones for levelling because they are relatively cheap – you can buy a lot of basic cooking ingredients with karma and jewelry doesn’t need the expensive mats like blood, scales, etc. to use. Max out both and it’s worth +20 levels, but even just going to 50 or 100 in each should get you to level 10 or so.
Or you can do what I usually do with alts, explore your “home” city to 100%, the open world to about 40%, then go to another starter zone and do the same, by the time you’re ready to go back you should be level 15 or so.
Do both at the same time (gather mats in the open world, use what you need to craft, sell what you don’t to buy what you still need) and you can tackle the level 11 instance at level 20 or so and have a much easier time.

I sure as hell hope by the time your world completion is at 40%, you’re higher than level 15.

He meant 40% of the starting zone of the race you’ve chosen.
Actually, it’s easily possible to exceed the level requirement for your story just by working on completing your starting zone and doing the events you run into… also don’t forget to gather the mats from the nodes you find.

I’m talking about a single zone. Create Sylvari Thief, explore Grove to 100%, explore Celadon Forest to 40%, go to Divinity’s Reach, expore to 100%, go to Queensdale, explore to 40%, resume exploring Celadon Forest…
I don’t have 100% World on any toon, I get bored and switch between different alts. But the two 80s were at least 70 by the time they got to 40% world.
The story missions are not designed to be done one after the other. The level gap gives you time to explore and participate in Dynamic Events, which are the core of the game. Go back to the story once your level is high enough, sometimes even a level or 2 above the recommended level.
