This group punishment thing is a terribly bad idea. What next? Them dealing with the ilevel thing on 24s by removing all exp from the alliance roulette?
In school, if a student (almost always plural though) abuses a privilege, it is taken away. The intent is not to punish those who are playing by the rules; it is taken away because one or more students have shown that they cannot be responsible or respectful with that privilege. This is one of the earliest lessons most of us learn in school (at least for old timers like me), which teaches us how our actions can have consequences that affect others.

What's really unfortunate is that SE has to resort to such methods. The community is comprised of mostly adults who don't know how to behave like one. Selfish and entitled peeps who don't care about others, and especially what the devs go through. The quality and state of an mmo is quite often a mirror reflection of its playerbase. Keep that in mind.
