I'm still a firm believer that EverQuest is itemized so weirdly and arbitrarily that there is no consistently adoptable system for pickup groups. It simply is, as you say, three people leaving with the eight items. And that's on a good day.
Now, I'm not saying never try other systems - if you do, just be forthright about it. Set expectations at the start of the group. The *very* start of the group - not when you're finally at the crypt door or whatever. That first kor shaman you kill could drop a Siblisian Berserker Cloak, and that would be an absolutely shitty time to say, "Oh, did I mention this is need before greed?"
So yeah, absolutely go start a group and do trade-up loot, just make sure everyone knows what they're getting into.
