Grouping in Tera

I consider myself a casual gamer. I first started MMO's with EverQuest, nothing has been as good (for me).
The thing I liked best about MMO's was grouping up with strangers and exploring and even grinding and camping out. I feel like all the new MMO's are so soloable.. I want to find a game that relys on grouping (outside of an instanced dungeon even..because those get so old so fast).
Im excited about Tera for the combat and graphics, but I've been reading that the pve is super easy and i just feel like if I play Im going to be wandering around soloing and that gets boring. Does anyone feel like me?
I've played WoW, EQ2, SWG and a slew of F2P... and I just can't find a community like I had in EQ back in the day.
What do you guys think? any recommendations in case Tera Dosen't pan out for me? The thing is when I want a break from Soloing in Skyrim, I dont want to log into Tera and feel like im doing the same thing I could be doing in Skyrim. alone.

I did not find any content yet that requires grouping unless BAMs. Playing a Lancer. Tera is solo friendly.
EQ was my first MMO, I played it for 4+ years and I know exactly what you mean.
I blame WoW for all this ez-mode solo gaming because WoW started the trend and almost all western devs after that followed like sheep and made an army of fail MMOs.
Don't count on seeing group centric gameplay in MMOs these days, last one I played was Vanguard (made by the same dev that made EQ) but since their servers are wastelands grouping is almost impossible and solo you can't experience the awesome content it has.
There are rumors that Vanguard might go F2P after EQ in march so it's maybe worth to check it out in few months.
I care about your gaming 'problems' and teenage anxieties, just not today.
this is interesting, last night i was in the tera beta and got into it with some people.
people in the LFG channel are all " lfg such and such"
the responses they got were " dude you suck i solo'd that" "really man thats easy if you cant solo that you shouldnt even play"
it's ridiculous how the trolls have grown.
im mean these are MMO's were playing right. the purpose is kind of/ sort of supposed to be grouping up. right?
if the guy wants to group up let him, if you dont want to join his group then dont say anything.
anyhow ranting some.
I've got the straight edge.
yes everything in the tera beta was easisly soloable, but it was the first closed beta, it consisted of the starter area (what mmo has a difficult starter zone) ive heard it gets tougher later on but only time will tell. and who's to say en'masse didnt lower the mob difficulty to test whatever it is they specifically want to test. it's too early to tell how difficult tera will turn out to be.
I've got the straight edge.
I kind of figured it would be this way.. haha there are still a few of us who mesure all games to EQ, it can kind of suck to hold that comparison. I just don't understand why devs stear away from such a huge social aspect.
MMO are like social fantasy realms! I want to recruit a band of adventurers together to uncovering some awesome quest like in EQ! (there were no kill 10 rats quests back then) nobody needs eachother anymore, I suppose the only reason people play MMO's socially is for the pvp.. but imo i can think of much better games to pvp with then fantasy mmos

You`ll be grouping for the BAM killing quests and instances that`s for sure.
