That's been the story of PA since they allowed buddy packs. The decision to cater to existing players over new players was made long long ago.
I think this is really more of an issue for 2nd tier players than new players. This separates the cream from the milk: if you're a 1st tier/never use PL/aiming for #1/harcore player then the PL issue doesn't change anything for you - while if you're 2nd tier/PL and go to bed/hoping for top 100/playing chill, then things just got a little harder. Seems to me it only got harder to ride the tailcoats of the few remaining 1st tier players.
And really, it wasn't all that long ago that the top allies didn't allow PL, and would even police it with jgp's. Funny how some of the loudest complainers about this change in PL would have been the primary promoters only a few years ago...
