So I won't lie I dropped this one after episode 6. Is it worth actually continuing?
Quit while you're ahead. Read the books if you can still find them, they're better. There's still Mother's Rosario though, the next arc following this one. There's literally no way they need 12 episodes to finish GGO. Also Yuki Kajiura is a fucking goddess.

Welcome to SAO the Anime, where the side-characters are better developed than the actual MC, and the MC is obsessed with Asuna. Seiyuus are great, the adaption is not. But in all seriousness, most of the characters aren't that bad, just Asuna.

I find the action scenes...well they're repetitive.
I don't see what you mean by this. In comparison, SAO S1 didn't have nearly as much action as this. It's not really a full-on action title to begin with.

In addition The weapons seem extremely poorly balanced which kind of ruins my immersion that this is in fact a game world based around PvP. Also there is no way that nobody has used swords before in a competitive scene.
I feel like you're being nitpicky here, in the novel they said, while Lightsabers had incredibly high destructive force, they were extremely impractical to use, even moreso to deflect bullets by using prediction lines. Try playing Counter-strike and rushing a guy with an AK-47 or M4 and see how fast you get mowed down, even more so if the mind is connected to divegear and is using his mind directly as a controller.
I'm only watching it because I'm waiting for one scene that's adorable as fuck. It involves a hand-grenade.
