I think your first problem is the character deletion. Characters take time to grow in to...you will be unlocking a wide range of abilities and power as you level. You’re playing the least fun levels over and over and over. You get eight slots on your account...use them. If a class doesn’t seem fun, leave the character and try another. You might learn ways to play that will make the previous character fun for you.

Weapon swapping is one of many features that will make a higher level character way more fun. And as you level your class and weapon skill lines, you’ll be able to unlock new abilities that will make things better.

To get to level 15, just explore around and do some of the quests. Delves (single torch icon) are for solo, and are a good place to start. If you feel too new to take on a delve, go do some content that will have other players around helping. Closing dolmens is a good option...just hit whatever you can and let the higher level characters do the heavy lifting.

The game is now set so that you can go anywhere at any level. But for a new player the higher zones are still going to be tougher. Try the original start islands of the vanilla game - khenarthi’s roost, bleakrock island and stros mkai (or betnik, one goes after the other but I forget the order). The quests and monsters here will be less brutal. Then move on to the first zone areas - auridon, glenumbra and stonefalls. (If you’re starting in Summerset, in my opinion this zone is quite a bit harder for a low level character).

Guilds

A guild in eso is just a group of players in a club. It gives you the ability to join guild chats and look up to find people online to play with. Some guilds specialize...trading, PvP, trials. If you’re getting invites in a starter zone, to probably just an all-around hang out guild. You can join, check out their message of the day, see if they seem cool. No one will care if you drop the guild if it doesn’t interest you. You can belong up to five.

As a new player, belonging to a couple of guilds might benefit you by the following:

Free travel. In social, guilds, roster you can see all online players. You can fast travel to any online guildie for free. They don’t even know...you don’t have to ask them or group...just click on them and fast travel and the game will put you at the closest wayshrine. This can help you save some money and unlock zones.

Assistance. There are a loooooot or vet players in the game who have massive inventories of everything imaginable. In a good guild, there will be a lot of players willing to assist. If I see a text chat from a new player asking where they get potatoes or bugloss, I just send them free stuff. I have 12,000 potatoes in my craft bag...I’m not going to make a guildie spend all afternoon looking for them for some dumb quest, lol.

Play assistance. You can group up with guildies and take on content...which might help you. If you want to be social, put out a guild chat saying what content you want to run. Or just say you’re new and you want to level a little. You might find other low level characters...or a vet might take you on a leveling expedition.

Trade. Guilds get guild stores and they’re a place to trade. As a new player, maybe you want to farm some stuff to sell to build up a gold reserve. Motifs are good. Or raw materials. A guild is a good place to sell them.
