Tell me if this helps.

Yes people can abuse it. Everything you put in the game can be abused. Wanna guess what I found the day Play Dead went on the mog station? Can probably guess when a M Lalafell sticks his butt up in the air. So should we remove Play Dead? Because some people are abusing it to do things they shouldn't?

Or what about another one. Sound Effects. You remember <se.7> right? People can abuse that to annoy you in chat, forcing a BL or to mute the game/section that the noise is tied to. Should we remove sound effects? They're useful for getting important mechanic related info out, but people can be mean with it, just like parsing is good for getting tons of combat information, but someone can be mean with it.

Also, I don't need a parser to tell you that your dps is trash. I can see it just fine by watching your rotation and enmity generation. Should we remove those enmity bars then? And animations?
