Okay so I live normally on pacific time but recently traveled to Australia and now I am in Japan. I went on a bit when I had some down time and grouping is not that hard depending on what time you play at. However if you are talking like 7pm or later than it is a bit harder, not impossible. There should be enough people to get a group almost at any time but you will have to go to the more popular zones for those lvls. Like last night I went on my bard and soloed MM until a there was enough to group up, this was around 10pm Japan time.

Also enchanters are great solo classes with charm. SK on the other hand unless you are twinked soloing until the higher lvls is a pain and even then grouping is faster. Play what you think you will actually enjoy because it is a long way to 60.

For the last part of your question, yes SK are great group tanks most people will like you but you will get the odd ones that will not because of the exp penalty. Higher lvls is where you might get shunned a little bit but normally you can get a group. Enchanters are liked throughout your lvls, higher ones especially and there is usually always a group that could use one. Both are liked for different reasons because of there roles, but as I said play what you think you will enjoy the most even if it is not the most popular class. Heck I play a SK and a Bard and if I out lvl my friends I am thinking of doing maybe a Paly, Ranger or Rogue.
