On a smartphone you can specify that people in a special contact list can call you even if the phone is in do-not-disturb mode, so you could imagine FFXIV providing a preference that certain people could send /tells to you even if you are /busy.

However, a well-implemented communication preferences system would make it unnecessary to use /busy just for the purpose of avoiding spam (rather than for its original purpose as a do-not-disturb mode.)
