This happen to anyone else? Ask someone to group and they say, 'Already grouped, sorry.' I can see why people would do this if they have alot of people in their group or something but christ, last night I asked every tank that was online around my level to group and they all said the same thing, arg!

I gotta agree with Jen. The implication from asking if someone is grouped is that you're forming up a group yourself. Asking if someone is busy might work better. That way if they tell you they're doing something, you can ask if they could use you.
That said, welcome to the world of hitters. You are currently experiencing what I have termed ranger syndrome, that is being a damage class that requires a group to be effective but in a world where there are not enough tanks, clerics, or stoners at any given time to support the class's population. Most groups only need one or two hitters or an invoker for damage. Possibly 3 for some high level areas. Past that, experience yields diminishing returns, and enchanters and clerics have hard enough times leveling as it is compared to the relatively quick levels for hitters. Rangers have been dealing with this for years. Yeah, it gets depressing. Just ask any ranger that's been here the past two wipes. Best to make friends that you can count on for frequent groups.

heh, i was a barbarian warrior, but the lack of un-anonymous hitters made me switch to a ranger for the time being. hitters were always busy, grouped, or just plain didnt answer. i had good eq, nice armor class, and at level 20 - my bash was at 50, still no groups.
now im an elf ranger with unholy numbers of attacks, some good ac, and nice healing. cant solo my ass.
-daz, kwirl.

Sorry if this is obvious, but I'm curious as to what you mean by this. (It's going to sound funny, but I'm serious.)
Did you mean that you cannot solo your own ass, i.e.:
Your own ass half kills you with its mighty slash!
YIKES! Another hit like that, and you've had it!!
You wish that your wounds would stop BLEEDING so much!
Or, did you mean that you can reach a high level without grouping and people who say otherwise are on drugs?
I ask because I've heard people say that higher levels are impossible unless you're grouped. I play a level 21 ranger, but don't have a whole lot of time to play him, so I'm not likely to develop a group of people that I can routinely group with. If going solo at high levels is impossible, it makes me wonder if I want to put the time into getting there.

over the years i have noticed a certain other formula - help people out.
1 - they are new, appreciate it, and when they pass you in levels and groups, they remember you.
2 - they are really a high level character looking to level their alt to level 50 in under 3 days. they actually see your name, and sometimes they forget which character they have and ask you to a group. DOH! I didnt mean to ask you to Jot, oh well, might as well come.
