Gold farming group and self-farming

I joined a gold farming group (6-man party — allflame gilded setup, T16 8-mod map...) for about half an hour, and it felt like the amount of gold I got was literally equal to everything my character had earned from level 1 to 99.
This feels very unbalanced. I understand the power of min-maxing, setups, and alignment, but this level of imbalance kills all the dopamine from gold drops for most players who try gold farming groups.
Now it’s either you join a group or stop caring about gold-target farming entirely.
It would be great if GGG could somehow tighten and balance this better.
Thanks for reading!

Just out of curiosity did you record your gold during all of this?

1. Before farming
2. After farming

Would be better to see an actual result

It was like 5 - 7 maps in under 30 mins, and got 3+ mils gold.

the gold booster is just stupid idea

it is story as old as time - if a booster is rare and useful AND the game provides a party mechanic when one person PAYS but 6 people BENEFITS then it will be a) priced out of range of single players b) no other form of farming can compete

there are many examples in POEs history, all turned out stupid, most were fixed sooner or later

but why repeat the same mistake every single time it is possible?
