How does being in a group make drops better?

Probably not everyone knows:
ICD - Increased currency drop
IIR - Increased item rarity
IIQ - Increased Item Quantity
IMD - Increased map drop

I can't even understand why it is like that while should be the opposite.
Playing solo is more difficult. All the above should be for solo play.

Nice clarification.
I've exaggerated a bit. It's obvious that IIQ should be used on cooperative mode.
However there are better solutions over there. For example drops allocated to certain players. This prevents thievery.

You can expend an innumerable amount of chromatics, fusings, etc and the desired end result on any item is never guaranteed. Nor is it even more likely to happen. A weeks' worth of materials gained at near job-reaching level of hours played can be consumed in all of 5 minutes on an item that refuses to four link. That is just on one item. Not a whole set. Not including maps.

This game's economy is rapidly getting worse because there are only wealth sinks. The chance on returns are so minute, you are better off waiting for what you need to drop (four link, five link, etc) than try to craft it. There is practically no lasting reward for the risk involved in changing an item beyond its original drop status. The only godsend in this game is the fact that the items themselves aren't an expendable sink to get better items—but, in reality, they are in a roundabout way.

In a game where everything endgame costs more than 3 exalts, it's nearly impossible to move forward from, say, level 68-75 and get better. I have never seen an exalt drop across any of my characters. Not one exalt , of the 10 i'd need to buy one item. An item that if you attempt to tweak, could quickly crash to less than half its value – an item, that if you tried to craft into existence, would likely cost you well over double its value to make.
