The new TLP server has some interesting ideas. Most of them wouldn't be great for blue but the random loot one might.

Random Loot Enabled
• The Mischief server is a new experimental server that randomizes loot.
• Rare NPCs will drop loot from other NPCs of a similar level within the same expansion.
• Raids will drop loot from other raid NPCs of a similar level within the same expansion.
• We may add other special case randomization.
• Rare NPCs have a greater chance of spawning

Essentially, you can incentivize groups to form all over Norrath versus the same old same old. So more folks would level up in places like Cazic Thule / permafrost / tower of frozen shadow / paw / & maybe even cities if there was a chance of these mobs would drop something decent.
This is similar to a rotating ZEM mechanic but would be more enticing at the end of the day.
Edit* This could also alleviate some raiding issues where folks always go after specific targets.
