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.

I would concur with this. I chose Proudmoore at random when I started WoW, and I got lucky in finding Thorns of Gold, the Alliance WoW guild from The Older Gamers. You have to be 25 years old to get in (which helps with the leet-speak) and it's a large bunch, more than 400 last time I looked. I rarely have trouble finding a group.
As far as why grouping is fun --- to each their own. We ran Maraudon with a 46 druid as a healer, a 48 druid (me) as a tank, two 50ish mages and a 53 hunter as firepower. Most fun I've ever had gaming. And yes we got wiped out a few times, and I really wish it were possible to improve the druid's rez spell. But man what a blast!
