Outside of friends or guild, I think NBG is unfair at best. All strove for an accomplishment, all should have an equal chance at a payoff. The law of averages will service in the end, with money for the item that wasn't won randomly. You want an item, form your group for that and see if people will join to get it for you. Better yet, call some friends. Otherwise, take your chances.
Although I tend to be pretty open about accepting folks into groups (assuming level appropriate), I don't think there's anything that compels us to invite or anyone to invite me. This isn't the first time I've seen someone try to compel what they thought was ethical behavior beyond the rules. I'd generally benefit by the strict interpretation of your rules. I have a ton of alts for NBG, they're mostly still low level, and I don't have anyone at level cap. Still, a classic phrase springs to mind, although it is weakened with a free to play game: you can tell me how to play when you pay my monthly fee.
