A lot of the staple features of later zones is not present in the early zones. You have quests, three skyshards, and one of the small public dungeons (small referring to it being scaled for a single player to be able to complete, and not one meant for groups). That's about it.

In the later zones, the game opens up a lot more in terms of what you have to experience. There is a main quest that leads you through the zone, with a lot of its quests rewarding you with skill points upon their completion. In addition, there are a lot of optional side-quest hubs, where you can find other quest chains to help you progress; if you look at the map and see an area you haven't been to, odds are something is there. There are many more skyshards (16 for each of the zones), and a lot of small public dungeons (each housing a skyshard to encourage you to do it). There is a large public dungeon that's geared more for 2-4 players, including a quest, a skyshard, and a 'group challenge' boss (usually summoned in a special way detailed in the achievement) that will reward a skillpoint for its completion. You have points of interest around the world that will give you significant XP for their discovery, and world bosses and anchors (as seen in the recent developer playthrough PvE video) that offer challenging events to encourage players to group together. There is one instanced group dungeon with a quest that gives you a skillpoint. Finishing that dungeon unlocks waypoints for the corresponding dungeons in the other alliance territories, allowing you to do those as well. In addition to all of this open world content, you gain access to the Mages Guild, Fighters Guild, and the Main Story, all of which draw you in with a continuing story arc and skill line of their own. The Mages Guild introduces Lore Books, another item that you can discover around the world to progress your Mages Guild skill line.

To put it short, there is just a whole lot more to do in the level 8-15 zones than there is in the beginning ones, and they're a lot more open. The combat starts to get more interesting as you go from fighting one mob at a time to two, and then to three. You start morphing your skills and unlocking new ones. Crafting becomes important, and you find reasons to actually group with other players. PvP and weapon swaps get introduced. It's a world of difference.
