ET was just good players getting together and sharing information about event warper locations, if they ever teamed in events then staff could easily do something about it
It's really no different from a spar guild like Alumni

One thing that is bad to me though is (to my knowledge) there's no minimum requirement to queue, like I really don't think players with less than 10, or maybe even 100, hours should be eligible
Seems like just giving event spots to people who have a much lower likelihood of actually playing or returning to the game
