I do not know if this is something SoE has addressed since I played EQ all those years ago. But is there anything stopping free players from creating their own groups? I know people did it years ago, I'm sure there are those waiting to two-box a cleric/warrior again back to max level with two free accounts.

People will be creating free box accounts, no doubt. But the amount of real people playing will far outweigh the amount of boxed individuals. The benefits of having more people playing the game outweighs whatever cons there are to people that may be utilizing free accounts for box/buff characters.
Bottom line to F2P implementation is to ultimately get more people to play the game.
