It’s not like before (the stop command), it has very limited range and then they got ported back on top of you if you go too far. And the range is not long at all.
The main use for that seems to have been exploiting the Al Merayah boss that instantly leveled them to 20 so I can understand it was probably not their vision of how we should play the game. But they could have fixed the exp gain instead, which they said they did but failed to (until now).
