Groups
Player groups are primarily used as a mechanism for up to six players to band together to attack npcs that they could not kill alone, or to kill npcs faster than they could on their own. However, they have other functions as well, and can be used for socialising or even idling together.
Players can see what groups are active with the commands 'group list' and can advertise their availability to join a group with the 'group request' command.
Additionally, there are several group specific commands that players have access to when they are in a group.

Group assist
If you group assist someone, then you'll automatically join in (after a short delay) if they enter combat. You can "group unassist" them to stop.
The length of time before you join in is apparently dependent on your adventuring.perception and the number of people you're assisting.research
Group shields
Shows any arcane shielding that group members are currently using. The output is similar to shields.
