Nasty little GroupSave trick

Out of interest, is there any advantage to getting a GS3 over a GS4 (as in, if you presented 3 tickets on a GS4 and said the other person wasn't there, would it be valid)?

I used to live on the French/German border, and regularly travelled at weekends on the Schoenes-Wochenende-Ticket, which allowed (at the time) up to 5 people to travel on non-intercity trains for next to nothing. It used to be commonplace to get students approach you on weekends and offer something (chocolate and/or beer, usually) in return for allowing them to accompany you on such a ticket. With the popularity of GroupSave, could we see something like that happening here, or are British people simply too reserved to go in for such things?

GroupSave is just a nightmare, basically. I don't know, but I would have concerns. What if a member of the group became ill or simply decided not to go? That could stuff up the entire group, and the other people, through no fault of their own could be 'punished' for it.
