    Even to the point of disregarding an idea before even implementing "for fear of abuse"? I mean we don't have it, we can't know what would happen, but people are already saying it can be potentially "abusive" (in this case, risk of spam).

    You don't know yet! Infact for all we know all of this "risk of spam" might never happen. Hence, having more like a "fear" than an actual "concern".

    This is a very recurrent "mentality" in the game, so much that it just feels like phobia at this point. Don't want parser because abuse, don't want team roulette because of abuse (which is now removed, thankfully), don't want bubbles because spam abuse.

    If at least there were some actual true reasoning behind "why it's a bad idea" instead of immediately disregarding it as "potential for abuse". I mean sure it can get spammy so hey, just make an option to remove. Don't have to NOT put it all together. Same for many other features really but this is what it seems to be for the most part: disregard because it can be abused.

    I dunno, maybe I'm just too pessimistic at this point so, just nevermind me but I did feel like giving my two cents on a relatively harmless feature...
