PoE 2 Party Play Loot distribution

Guys, I think the party play really needs an overhaul. I'm not sure where to start, but it seems like there's a penalty for playing in a party. It looks like two players get the same amount of loot as you would in single-player mode, but you can only grab half of it (permanent allocation on). What I enjoy most about this game is playing the campaign with a friend. However, when you only get half the loot, it makes the game so much more frustrating.
Also, it seems like there's always one player on a complete loot-ban for hours before that role switches. My colleague just got seven exalted in a row, while I didn't get any relevant currency at all. The other day he didn't get more than one or two rares while I got—I don't know—fifteen?
Please adjust this so that party play can actually be fun.
