Suggestion: Marginally Better Loot for Person With Star

That wouldn't happen since loot is generated when the chest is opened.

That's not the case. In the last discussion of how chests worked one of the devs confirmed that it is generated as each player "opens" it and each player is deemed to "open" it when they click on it, the graphic of a chest opening is not related to loot generation.

I think an update to the Looting section is necessary in the ddowiki to include that information.

Perhaps even a "Loot Gem" entry to further help clarify this.

if i knew where the dev could be quoted from i'd make a thread in the new player section right away.

Actually, I find the problem is more of people not wanting to join random LFMs as opposed to people not wanting to start groups.

1) There's already incentive to start groups: so that you can actually do the quests you want to do in a group. If there's already someone doing said quest who's spots aren't filled, then there's no issue of people not forming groups regardless.
2) People don't like to PuG (far as I can tell from forums). And from personal experience, it's hard to start a group for a quest which you don't have sufficient experience and/or capability in regardless. (I can almost guarantee that a wiz or sorc starting a titan raid run, who states in LFM that they can solo the green puzzle, will easily form a group. Especially if they've a monk/FvS in the group who can get the levers as well. Not imagine a non wiz/sorc/fvs/monk person who's just newly flagged for Titan raid. The odds of him/her forming a successful group drastically plummets.)
