The current one is obvously taylored to solo play or if it happens to be party it's party with people you know. Which doesnt really increasing communation. They would need a system where players see no Major fault for have some randoms join you. Kind of how PQing is. (minus the lv shift it does). The easiest thing I can think of is a coin system where you buy the items. Like Von Leon But EVERYONE in the map gets a coin when someone picks it up.
Basically if you want a party oriented game, If your in a party you should be benefited in ALL possible ways (exp/item drop rate/fun) save maybe a few minor ones. like pure meso droprate.
And arent the new items trade-able unlimited amount of times until you equip it? And the 20 count Seems relatively large considering the price of SoK.
Coins like how MP coins are done would be acceptable, but separate loot wouldn't really hurt either. Not sure how they would implement that into MS though, probably far more work than Nexon is willing to invest time into creating.

Oh, maybe they could make the boss drop a Treasure Chest that is given to everybody upon being picked up. The number and type of drops would be randomly generated for each player when the box is opened.
Of course, since the number of drops is random, double-clicking the Chest could open a separate window showing the drops the player would receive as well as a "Claim Reward" button as well as an open to close the window and claim the rewards later. Once the Chest has been opened, the drops are set in stone to prevent people from trying to change the rewards they'd receive by opening the same Chest over and over.
Other drops like that fragment thingy Zakum drops for the HT PQ-skipping item, as well as Skillbooks and Meso should be dropped as per normal, and never show up in the Chest. Basically, everything that drops normally has little to no value for anyone who's simply trying to take everything for themselves. Perhaps each boss should have its own unique set of equipment that can be exchanged for a specific amount of an ETC item the boss drops (which is given to the entire expedition when picked up).
The Bonus Missions could raise EXP received, and raise the chances of multiple Chests dropping instead of just one. Another possible reward could be causing a higher quality of Chest to drop (which would give rewards chosen from a pool of better items than the regular Chests).
That is another possible answer, with the chests. A lot of games have already implemented a system where loot has a designated player it is owned by, whether they pick it up or not, though. Honestly it all depends on if Nexon knows of this problem, wants to fix it, and how much they're willing to invest into fixing it.
