At this point you need to think about the clearing group more as professional soldiers, not kids doing WOW raids.
I know some people don't like bringing up the topic of the "beater", but I think it was trivialized a bit.
The people who wouldn't invite him are all the people who branded Kirito as the "beater" (ie. some of the frontliners).
The whole point of being branded a "beater" was to prevent a mass witch-hunt against all other beta tester by redirecting all hatred towards him.
He got the rare item from the boss (and showed it off), so they should also see that he's ninja-ing rare/boss items from their point of view. Would you party with a item ninja player?
Also, the fact that low level players know about the "beater" implies that those people were spiteful enough spread the word.

So either two things happened, there was a hunt (or multiple hunts) against Kirito, or everyone's ok with him.
From what we've seen at this in time, people are ok with his presence, so if there was a hunt, how did he survive? Or how did he convince people he's not a threat?
Or did every frontliner smarten up, and just say "whoops, we now know why you did that, sorry for ruining your reputation Kirito".

But this is irrelevant now since we've time skipped.
All we know is something happened which stopped Kirito's reputation from being a wanted man. Something.
