First - if you are ever in a situation where you can't get your corpse, pull up a map of the zone and look for the closest location to your corpse that you can safely get to. Then go to that location and try to /corpse your body. You can /corpse through walls, and it is not affected by z-axis.
As for groups - no one really takes lowbie groups seriously. Once you get higher and the levels take longer you'll meet mor3 dedicated players, but in CB a lot of times you find people who log on for 20 mins to bang out a level or something. Best bet is to /friend people you like grouping with and start organizing your own groups. By the time I was like L20 on my first character I had already made friends with 8-10 people who I pretty much exclusively grouped with until we all hit max level. Even on the last character I leveled up, even though we didn't really become friends, I probably did 80% of my 50+ groups with the same group of people because we worked well together and had similar playstyles. You can try joining a guild, but there is really no replacement for sending someone a tell saying that you enjoyed grouping with them and are adding them to your friend list for future groups.
If you group with random people, you'll get random results. Hard to avoid it early on, but the sooner you can surround yourself with like minded players the more you'll enjoy the game imo.
