Every one attending a progression raid (either in the raid or waiting outside on standby) receives 1 Mark of the Syndicate.

We are doing something quite similar to this ourselves. We've also had a problem with farm feeders. Not as serious now as it was in WoW classic, but it's still there.
We've instituted double AP for time spent on working on new bosses as well as double kill AP for killing a boss for the first time. This, coupled with what we call "beggar status" (basically applicant status) at below 50 percent raid attendance (we're only a 3 night a week crew) will show you in short order who is putting in time on the progression days and who is just showing up for farm drops as it will skew the attendance percentages heavily in favor of those who show up to put in the work. Deservedly so as far as I'm concerned.
