It's not just about GNW, when your second character in their group you will see their conversation and group members tend to share guide, information about game with each others. Knowing information is the biggest advantage in this game beside money and trust me no one want to give their enemy information and share that advantage with them, that's why.
Same case with me, I keep crucial information for members within the group. I also kick all members who leak the information I gave them if I find out they're leaking it to their friends outside the group.
This helped us, a group with just a few players won against the biggest group with all spenders in it many times
So yea it's common sense if people find out a "spy" from other groups, that "spy" should be kick asap.
