Linking Raid Event Rewards to Number of Folks in raid

I'm thinking that a way of encouraging greater cooperation between people in raid events is to somehow link raid rewards with the number of people competing...not characters, but the folks at the keyboards. That is, the more folks involved the more items drop.
Not sure how this would be done, but I'm sure it could. Maybe something like a combination of the number of separate IPs and separate locations would get at it most directly (granted there are always computer gurus out there could appear to be separate people but not be...).
Developers are more than busy enough but I think this could be a way to indirectly steer folks toward working with each other more. Perhaps a fun twist to work into a future event or to apply to a few events already in place...

If they could open up the raid tiers to not be guild only but something like vt where its instance but you have lockout per boss would help a ton. I know I have a lot of stuff rot that i would take whoever any any of the tiers.

I keep thinking about this. I'm also considering a system where you can actually buy-out lockouts with lets say platinum or a token (From the new HoH vendor! Coming soon.™

)
Keep up the brainstorming!

oh buyable rk3 spells would definitly help.
surely ip related instances would be pretty hard to introduce as everything needs to be within the base code of everquest.
as someone said a good programmer could bypass whatever gets added to prevent same ip's.
but good to see new stuff coming even if its just 1 npc at a time.
