i've leveled 2 characters to 18 on different servers, one of each race, both healers. I've managed to be on 2 teams total, neither of which lasted very long. So at what lvl do people start to team more ?

16/17 in the open elite areas

Lvl 50, have fun with your solo MMO.

 Asmo side should be Blackclaws. Elyos no clue but whatever the mirror elites are called.

It is the Krall area (Tursin).

Look at the LFG channel you'll see the people grouping for Krall all the time.

At your level you can also group  in the Dukaki settlement. For this latter just go to the area and invite whoever is there, the area is not difficult enough to pregroup but people will gladly join while there.

good luck

Asmodian side you start getting group quests for lvl 18-20 at the black claw village and outpost. It's thowards the very end of the quest line in Altgard.

Yes, starting from around level 17 there are group areas and  instances (also in the Abyss, starting at level 25) non-stop for all levels until level 50.

You will never see 1 level where you won't have access to a group zone for your level.

Furthermore, in the Abyss the fortresses have dungeons. To get access to them your faction must own the fortress.

Been grouping steadily since level 17.

I never go 2 hours without group invites.  Most of the time from random people.

Fail Troll is full of FAIL.

That's what I've been seeing and I'm really enjoying it. I've found it very easy to join up with others in this game so far.

I actually started grouping from lvl 1 but I play with my lovely fiancee so it only made sense to group from the start.

For "most" people I would say 16+ when you get access to the Black Claw or Kralls area (depending on your faction). 16+ and you can group all the way up to 50 if you want.

I very much enjoy the group aspect of this game - and although you do take a hit in XP (divided by how many group members) you can kill things WAY faster with more people and mobs at a much higher level as well.

It makes it very worthwhile (even though most people don't realize this)... I leveled up from 1-10 as a duo partner and still hit lvl 10 the same time as the "hardcore" players....

You get lots of group quest starting from 16 so you sir fail.

I found that levelling in all senses (grinding and questing) goes much faster in a group (2 dings in an hour and a half 15- 17) so even at low levels it is very beneficial - done none of the designated "group" quests yet on this char but on my other I only managed to do one group quest solo so to do quests effectively you need to group :) its fun and great way to make friends with random people on your server

Still not finding alot of teaming in this game.  Dont think this is the game for me.

If you are not finding groups than you are not putting in the motivation of getting one together. Wait till like 5-6pm west coast time and you will get groups like made crazy. To get past the first area you really need to team up, unless you are just going to bot it and kill mobs for hours on end. 

Edit: Also join a guild, they are really helpful.
