"This isn't as bad as it looks. Only your friends can add you into groups"
Yes, it is as bad as it looks. If one person can add you to a group without your approval, that's bad.

That's an identical amount of control that you're surrendering. I don't get the frenzy-Facebook-rage...
Not at all. If you send me an email without me asking, there is no public effect. One example of how this is bad with groups is what if I happen to be on a job search and someone adds me to the "I steal office supplies from my employer and sell them on eBay" group. Let's say a prospective employer is a friend of a FB friend of mine and looks at my profile and sees this. Job offer gone.
Much of the guild's recruiting is done via Facebook.
