I don't read that from what anybody is saying here, honestly. If the game could immediately accept every new player that applied immediately without it impacting the playstyle of the games, I think everyone would be totally open to that. It would be pretty much ideal! But at the moment, not possible, so everyone is just trying to work out a solution where there isn't really one—it's not a matter of shooting things down for the hell of it, and while people obviously have strong feelings one way or another it's for logistical reasons and because the game is important to them, not because they don't want new people ruining their super secret club.
