I think the problem here is that people expect EQ to be like Starcraft: log in, put up LFG, warp to well-balanced XP group within 5 minutes. Obviously you can start right away if you are solo.

Its not hard to find xp groups. My monk was in a great Nurga/Droga group last night. If you are L35, for example, you can do /who all 30 40 to find out where people are and /who all 30 40 lfg to find other people lfg. Head to the hot zones, and don't be afraid to form groups or play with 'nonstandard' class mixes. Sure it may not be optimal xp, but some xp is better than no xp and its fun to try and make something a little unorthodox work. For example, I did a warrior/enchanter 2-man group that worked ok once.

P.S. wow what a thread necro
I don't really think anyone is arguing that there are no xp groups, or that some xp isn't better than no xp at all. But you can't help but admit that it just doesn't feel right that 4 times out of 5 a class like a cleric can go solo some undead for better xp than he would get in a group.
