(Artega, sorry to hijack the thread with discussion about groups, but I think this is relevant and hope it helps)
You make good points about pickup groups, especially if you value high-quality play. But I think you missed an option: Grouping with guildmates.
If you join a good guild, you will have a bunch of people available to play with. In general, people who wouldn't give you a free buff in town will be nicer to you if you are in their guild (just human nature I guess). And specifically, if you find a guild of good people, with characters around your level range, you will be able to do lots of quests you wouldn't normally be able to do. And if you find an idiot, well most good guilds will either talk to them or boot them.
I was in a great guild in beta, and have a good one going now too. I really recommend it. It may take a few tries to find a good guild, but it's worth it in the long run.
