Problems with Mercenaries POE1

I play with a partner all the time. We are having problem with the mercenaries. 8 or 9 out of every 10 times the merc has an OPT-in for the non leader of the group meaning only the leader get the choices of recruiting/taking/exiling the merc. The other group member is stuck with left-overs. Seems reasonable to make the chance for interaction 50-50...not 5-10%

The instance creator (whoever enters the instance first) gets to choose what to do. The others only get to opt in to the fight if they wish, earning a token reward. ='[.]'=

Ray is correct, the instance owner always gets to choose what to do with the mercenary. However, you're both wrong with how it determines reward for the opt in player(s): you are not getting leftovers and your reward has nothing to do with what the instance owner chose. You are getting a separate randomly generated pool of currency/scarabs/etc which can be ( and often is) better than what was offered the instance owner.
