Actually devs do play their games. In ffxi they added restiction because players abuse certain aspects of the game to grief other players. Such as mpking them via training mobs to a parting and logging out. Also this really doesn't needs to be fixed. It is only an issue if you let it be an issue. You guys are trigger happy players who could wait.

You could have waiting for your alchemist friend change back you didn't and payed the price. With the dc conj you could waited or finish killing your current target so you could invite them.
