Also every game is no a WoW clone, even though there isn't a damn thing unique in WoW.

WoW is more like a job (you have to pay for) until you get to the higher levels.
EDIT: I was going to edit this and make another point but Tails beat me to it.

The game is getting insanely good reviews, I was just reading my new PCGamer and they reviewed it's PVP and said it's the best PVP in a game yet, very chaotic and action-packed with some unique abilities. It's also getting great reviews just about everywhere else.

I got to level 13 before calling it quits (because the beta ended)
The lower levels are the games chance to pull you in and make you care.
Which it didn't do.

Not really, if you think that way than an MMORPG isn't for you. Not insulting you or anything just leveling and grinding is supposed to be in an MMORPG and some people(like me) do actually enjoy it. I have 2 85s and 4 80s and 10 more chars in the 70s and 5 more in the 60s and 40 more lower than that in WoW because I love grinding.

WoW does an even worse job at low levels and is the most popular MMO out yet, it is just stupid for you to claim it sucks when you only got level 13.

It's possible to make an MMORPG without the usual boring stuff, it's just no one ever pulls it off well.

Why would you keep playing a game if you get bored of it knowing you're not even a quarter of the way to the "fun" part?

Because like I said people actually like the parts you consider boring stuff. You probably enjoy progressing more than you think, go to a private server where you are insta85 in the best gear and see how long that is fun. Without anything to progress towards you can't have a long-lasting experience, it will turn into one of those games you buy and play for 2 days and throw in your closet.
