I admit I haven't read the entire thread, but this is my stance about it all;

It's another strategy, perhaps easier, perhaps harder but for a lot of groups it works.
As long as SE doesn't say "You will be banned for using this strategy" people will keep using this strategy.
Which I don't see happening, I do think this will be "fixed" in the future, but I also expect SE to make the Allagan rot mechanic a bit more forgiving to go along with that.
