The problem I saw with new players and realms like Destromath (No offense Elfen) is that Destromath is a PVP realm, where people can get ganked by higher levels. And then new players have a hard time when nobody is willing to help them in the first place so that adds to the frustration. In my humble oppinion, as you are only level 17 (No offense.) I would suggest restarting on a Normal realm, like Azuremyst. (And make sure you play Horde, on average, from what I've seen, Horde is much friendlier then Alliance is...)
That's Azuremyst. Azuremyst.
