Avoiding isn't the answer the best solution is just enjoy what you bought.
This game is very good with so many things to do, it is a ball of fun alone or better still join a guild, if you can not see anything in this game to do or enjoy, there is something wrong .
My only pet hate is non collision of players, if it were implemented that collision was a force, then players would follow there own paths & divert instead of just ride straight through you like your a ghost. Apart from that.
GET BACK IN THE GAME & get your money's worth.
enjoy
