Also, what about increasing (slightly) the likelihood of finding an item you are questing for, based on how many people you are traveling with (or if you're traveling with at least one other PC)? That way, even if people do have individual quests, you could still be motivated in that way to travel with others.

I also will point out, I noticed yesterday that I received quest XP and gold from a party member, even though I wasn't in the same area when they turned in their 'quest' reward. Not sure if this was a bug or intended ('nearby them' I took to mean in the same area, but I was I think in the inn, and they were in a temple).
