But this isn't a new development, this rule has been ongoing for quite some time, this isn't a new change.
The playerbase right now is sitting very stable at this juncture, the guilds keep it afloat, we risk causing a schism in the playerbase like this, one will can ill afford right now.
It would also effectively remove new players from joining guilds anymore, many of the current guilds are old IN members who keep to their own, people will stop playing at some point causing a slow death to guilds as new members won't be allowed access because they're not trusted.
While I agree that this is not necessarily the spirit of UO, I agree that it's a necessary measure that needs to be taken to ensure a stable playerbase.
