Looking For Players: GW2 Playthrough
You could try looking in the guild recruitment forum. Most people who are looking for others to play with just join guilds since there’s a bajillion of them and a lot of them are newbie-friendly.

On that topic, if the guild you join is unfriendly or unhelpful, don’t feel bad about dropping them and finding one that actually is friendly and helpful.
There are good guilds out there- the issue is that it’s hard to tell from the outside. There are guilds that will spam the same message again and again on every LFGuild post without even bothering to read the original post, guilds that will advertise themselves as friendly and inclusive when they’re really just looking for numbers. If you’re unfortunate enough to join one of these guilds, it’s easy to believe that all of them are like that. But they aren’t, and don’t feel bad if you need to hop around to find your best fit.
Otherwise, what server are you on? If you’re on a lower-population server, you could guest to one with a higher population and spend some time running around the most populous zones. It tends to be a good way to meet people.
