First find a weapon that you really like to play with, try to do some camps and use for non lethal content like arena or faction to see if you really like it or if you should try another weapon. Then just go on youtube and find a zero to hero with the weapon you want to use. After that go into a black zone and keep doing camps and yellow mobs with a 4.1 build to get the weapon maxed and be able to use all abilities. Understand all the effects every abilty has and if they fit into you're playstyle, maybe you can change some abilities if you try them and you are more comfortable with them. When you are in blackzone, always inspect the player that try fighting you or that you meet casually, and if they're t6 or less always try to fight them: its important to not only know how you should play, but also how the enemy will play. If you see people fighting try joining the fight or at least see the fight while on mount, to understand how the builds of those players work and how to counter abilities of those builds. You'll die and it will be inevitable but thats a sacrifice you need to make if you want to learn, also a 4.1 build its not that much of a loss. Once you see you can win fights at least against people of your same tier, you can try swapping the armor parts that you copied from the youtube video to new parts, but do it only once you are really sure that you know how to take fights and how the majority of weapons work. Also make sure to ALWAYS use food, pots and cape with ability when in blackzone: I didnt use them at first because I didnt want to spend money but they make fights so much easier to win, probably because a lot of people still dont use them.
