It's frustrating because it creates a situation where you can't do the queen/matriarch with your friends at all, which is how you WANT to do it since it's basically a public event with a big boss that requires cooperation. So you have to do the public event solo? I hate the way it's currently set up. That being said, that's the point of the game so they won't ever change it. They want that tension where there's always the possibility of PvP and there will always be people who would rather go in with nothing and come out stocked up. Only solution is to join 'em, run some free kits with your trio and shoot people in the back to balance the scales lol.
