I know this probably a programmers nightmare, but here's a suggestion to promote social grouping:
My whacky idea: would be to no longer need book/opus drops at all.
As you alternative, you could gain tome purchase credits TPC (or some way better name)
i.e. actively killing monsters would eventually = a tome purchase.
You could use the NPCs in Erimal to work out how to distribute these.
The exp rate could be close to the purchase rate. Complete stamina 1, you've earned enough to purchase stamina 2
Kill in EF or Windstone, you gain exp to purchase those unique tomes.
If flagging for TPC is a good idea, then it could be quest-based, mob-kill based, (i.e. kill CW - might flag you for stat tome purchases), combination of these or other ideas?
More TPCcould be awarded for quests that require 6-man help or even more:
Help kill mobs for murk / refuge / the vah, etc = more TPC
The whole point would be to promote social grouping/raiding:
The plat reasons would remain, but if you didn't have to purchase tomes, you may be willing to group more and retain players.

- Have to be on hate list - no leechers (maybe a leeching penalty?)
- 6 / 12 / 18 bonus - full group or raid.
- Individual bonus vs boxing could gain more TPC
- IP based - but can be vpn faked
- Somehow flag known box owners - no idea if this is possible
- Some unknown (to-me) way of tracking this
- Possibly other indicators that i can not think of
