Well Said!
The appeal of Ryzom to me has always been that it is not like other games out there. If I wanted iron clad rules about who I can associate with in game I would have stuck with something like WoW. If the Dev go ahead with this plan, they will be taking one huge step backwards.
I, for one, do not want to be in a world that is just black and white, and where I am told who I can be friends with or group with, because the only proper way to "role play" is determined by a few developers, and thier ideas of what the Ryzom experience should be for all others.
