Yeah...it sounds like they don't really want to remove them. They seem to think the slim possibility of exploitation is more important than the fun factor.

TP removers do not prevent all players from ignoring mobs with impunity. Flyers and teleporters can still go right to a mission location without any aggro. Only gropos have to watch their step.
Aye. Swinging can avoid things too. I don't want to avoid fights of mobs I need, and as far as running away, well take Flight for example. Its pretty slow ascending while getting hit.

As far as kiting, I don't see an issue -- when you have to fight mobs for missions, you fight them -- CO is not like games where squishies have to kite to survive. Almost every mob has a ranged attack. So what if players move around in combat?
Exactly! Moving around in combat is half the fun!

When I play, the primary effect of travel power removers is to inhibit me from using my TP in most fights, where using them would be cool and enjoyable. Being denied their use reduces enjoyment and does not increase difficulty.
This, totally this! The game is heaps of fun, and as you say, in other games ya may need to kite. I have never needed to or wanted to in this game.
