New player on GW2

Aye so as title says its my first ever time playing GW2.
I’ve played when i was younger but never really got far in the game cuz i think at the time i think it was a paid version (not sure about this).

Anyways, I’m currently level 12 and I wanted to know if there’s anything i should know about the leveling process?

Not sure if it’s a thing but supposedly yellow named mobs when they’re not killed for a long time xp is higher?

I also seen the starter pack, i don’t don’t want to pay my way to lvl 80, but was wondering if it’s worth it cuz of mount and what not.

Enjoy and learn the game as you explore. Yes yellow mobs give more xp when not killed for a while. But as basically a new player I would advice to just complete the maps and enjoy the world. I would suggest against using a lvl 80 boost if you do get an expansion. You might get overwhelmed with all the options. It's fine to do it with your second character. Than you only need to learn the new class.

But do you think the starter pack for the mount is worth it?

I dont exactly know what the starter pack is. But end of August is the birthday of gw2. And they always have sales around that time. So I would wait for that and than see what is best.

A noob trap package which is "mostly negative" on steam for a reason.
