I think you're looking at the situation from a wrong point of view.
First of all, why even have Burning Rock or the other higher areas closed off for? Can you give me a logical reason for having areas in game, completely functional for GMs to fool around in, but closed off from the public? Usually games restrict access to unfinished/bugged areas, and that I could understand ofcourse.
Secondly, There would have been no problems whatsoever with the opening of Burning Rock if Outspark had done something about the Fire Spirit quest being available for ANY LEVEL for god knows how long. If it wasn't for this quest mysteriously having appeared along with the Fire Nix quest back in a previous patch that I cannot remember the date of, nobody would have been able to "exploit" Burning Rock as it opened. But instead, there would now be more areas for people to grind in and they'd generally be happier with the more variation as far as maps go. I seriously DOUBT outspark would have closed Burning Rock if it wasnt for the quest trouble.
Saying they did the right thing given the situation may be true, but that was after they had already messed up. Again.
