Would you argue that all that wish to try get a few months to try? That seems impractical and chaotic to me.
My argument is that, if you want to help MB, you can without any special powers, as i have done with KoB, it is now an alliance with members doing interesting things. If you arent already doing it, who says you will when given fancy powers? This is the same logic as RPC status, you get it once you are already an RPC.
