Ecko was a bit rough on the delivery, but this is an OPEN WORLD game and there are a large number of exp spots for any given level range. Sol A is indeed an awesome zone, but like with any other camp, the moment you get blocked, you need to reroute or you're stuck waiting.
Sol A is right next to a druid ring, I think re-mobilizing would have taken less time and frustration for you and your crew. Hosting a crew is HARD work, I always have a plan B (and often a C) when coordinating my crews.
If you can convince your friends to try again, I strongly suggest you read this little gem:

That is not the same 4 zones we all know, it is a massive listing of everything from solo camps to group camps.
