I guess the reason why a lot of people don't like new crewmates is because they're used to the crewmates that are already there. Plus Luffy has so many friends, and it's rare to find any that actually have a goal. And the crewmembers who are already here have been here since the timeskip, so it's appropriate for the amount of crewmates before the time-jump and the amount of crewmates after to be equal. Even back when Franky and Brook were still fresh new members, some people just bonded too much with Chopper and Robin, so they're not used to Franky and Brook. Well, I guess if you don't want any new members to join, or don't want any new friends to travel with Luffy, that's your opinion.
