On that topic, people already DO ask others to not use certain abilities so as to not mess up the fight.

Example: stuns. If anyone but the designated stunner(s) uses an ability that stuns, the mob will start 'resisting'. This is super common in Ifrit, when a PLD is on stun duty and someone else accidentally stuns... then the PLD's next stun will be resisted and eruptions will go off. (Inb4 people are like "oh but PLD aren't the only stunners, wars and other melee can do it too" and "you can still beat the fight without stuns -- just dodge eruption). The reason I mention this example is because it's something a lot of people can relate to... whether they are far along in 'endgame' or not. Another example is Chimera. You really, really need to stop those abilities from going off... whether it be from stunning him or silencing him or whatever you can do. If you have designated stunners and someone else stuns, it messes the whole fight up.

I'm not defending or 'apologizing' for this behavior, but I did want to point it out because people seem to be talking about how asking other people to alter the way they play is extremely outrageous and far-fetched. It's not. Ideally, though, there would be no cap.
