It's just the state of the game at the moment, most people that are wanting to start are waiting until 2.0. That said make a post on your server forums and try shouting in-game for a newbie-friendly linkshell, although you should do that in Ul'dah since it is the current game hub. You can also team up with people at camps that you are doing leves at or just plain offer to team up with anybody you run into that's around your level.
