Yes, they can be used to call the entire clan over to help them, but think of it. What if let's say Ardougne, somewhere in the city, was invaded without notice, no army in sight and then boom, invasion. If there are little guards present, however they would be heavily outnumbered, they would need to call support from the Kandar Army.

And if we're just talking about when one person is attacked by a few or such, think about how long realistically it would take for backup support to get to the person being attacked. By the time they get there, the caller will either be dead or the attack itself would have ended, even if the use of gliders was used in this situation. It takes awhile to prepare a glider, to make sure everything is nice and tidy, get your cooridinates, take off, then actually begin to fly towards your destination. Long process. While I understand teleportation is a viable option, you're not going to be able to teleport SEVERAL of different people all at once, let alone how close is one to the location of the teleport, or could you even teleport to or near that location? It still takes a long time, unless the caller is literally right next to the landing area or is in the Rising Sun, for reinforcements to get to the caller.

Not everyone wants to have that royalty or otherwise higher up rank, in-fact if everyone wanted to have this role, we'd see clans all with 1 person and every city would be under constant invasion.

And commorbs are far beyond common, they're hardly seen, especially nowadays, to what I'm getting at, higher military officials and royalty(Even then letters are providing to be more useful, although those can be intercepted much easier). I only know of a few commoners in role-play that own a commorb, however, my two examples being Emma Genic and her son Blake, were once royalty, Emma being the Queen of Kharidia and Blake being it's Crown Prince. While I'm at that, she has maybe 3M gold coins from her reign in Kharidia, so do we need to restrict gold coins from commoners now?

Zaox is the perfect example, actually. He was able to mind-fuck and completely overpower the Mahjarrat he did, given that the Mahjarrat was almost dead. Even then, I'm sure Jim didn't even use Mahjarrat abilities with Zaox.

Now instead of restricting everyone of everything, we could do what Vivid was suggesting in an earlier post about one recreating a commorb that wasn't of Temple Knight calibur, however it functioned much like a commorb would. However, this is just silly, as we've been using commorbs for a long time now. Don't try to restrict something that has been used for years now, could play a role in several different characters lives(How else would Emma have told her son Blake, who lived with his grandfather at the time, that she was going to sacrifice herself to end the Invasion of Lionheart? It doesn't take two seconds to send a letter from a completely different continent to somewhere north of Falador), and is otherwise actually productive for good role-play.
