My impression of group items (AV2) is that you want the *different* items of a set distributed across the party. The flavour text even suggests this, "When a party collects the items of a group item set..."
The mechanics, however, simply refer to the number of characters who are carrying one or more items from the set. Conveniently, the benefit tables never extend past the number of items in the set (e.g., there is no listing of a benefit for 5 people carrying an item from a set of 4 items, which could easily happen with duplicate items)
Obviously the RAW is that you can all carry the same piece from a set and get the benefit from the whole set. Does anyone else feel this isn't the intended use of these items?
