People stay in the tutorial of propchies aka the the pre-searing zone due to the fact that the zones look good. not only that, there is an exclusive title for reaching max level in the pre-searing.
You get a title for getting to level 20 in pre searing called Legendary Defender of Ascalon and it takes a long time to get. And there is a lot of titles in GW1. And for amount of hours of game play you get well on my main char i have over 1800 hours played with a total of 3000 hours across all chars and i started playing the game in 2008 and stopped when GW2 came out. and im already at over 5800 hours in GW2 they are such fun games and the community is the best hands down.
WELL worth the time and money investment - easily hundreds of hours here and the buildcraft is unmatched. Can you imagine rare elite skills must be learned from defeated bosses out in the open world? I still miss this feature to this day. Not to mention the story is amazing - starts innocently enough, but it'll suck you right in. You'll have a newfound appreciation for GW2 and the world of Tyria in general. To go back to your henchman backstory comments, many of the henchmen and all of the heroes start off as questgivers or otherwise random NPCs that you have to win over, recruit, pay off or somehow convince to join you, so they do have backstories.
Some of my favourite tracks from gw2 are "fear not this night" as well as the core game's, HoT's and EoD's main themes.There's also an actual metal concert in game in living world season 5 with 3 original songs (the event itself and the music are awesome and best experienced first hand) and a band in EoD that plays a jazz version of "out of the dream", one of the sylvari themes. The latter one is purely instrumental and thus doesn't contain any spoilers, so you can definitely just check it out.
My fave track from Guild Wars 2 is actually "Saga Of the Norn" its a variation on the main theme from GW1's "Eye Of The North" expansion. I highly recommend giving that a listen!
In watching this I just realized the voice actress for the narration to prophecies is the same voice for human female player in gw2… as a gw1 and gw2 veteran I am ashamed I’ve only just now realized this 😅
Fear Not This Night from GW2 is great. I think it was used in some of the promotional ads back at launch and it's also the theme song for the completion of the original campaign. ua-cam.com/video/qOMQxVtbkik/v-deo.html
Don't forget the amazing Maclaine Diemer version that was created for one of the Living World episode trailers ( ua-cam.com/video/ilN1fylw3zY/v-deo.html ; no spoilers version, there's a higher quality version but it has background video with spoilery scenes)

Re: enemies healing gets annoying... it's on you for not slotting any interrupt skill :P

Getting LDoA before the Charr Hunt thing was a pain in the ass...

Eye of the storm off the prophecies soundtrack for gw1 gives me big nostalgia
Oh and the factions theme from gw1 is sick aswell
Oh man, such a great game...
To be fair it was never called a MMORPG i always heard it called a CO-RPG
"Guild Wars 2 - The Seraph" a cool OST
If you want to play the game, note that players gather in the American districts these days. The you won't be as lonely as Josh ;)
Also: there is a trash bin in your inventory. You can trash stuff without dropping it.
