and lowering off the chains or anchors is a bad idea too because it wears out the anchor points or rap rings, which is why they are called rap rings, and not lowering rings. ive seen a many rings that were wore to almost nothing from this and top roping off them!

Yea, I have never seen a ring that is worn through as rings normally turn. However I have seen rap off chain worn 90%+ of the way through on the bottom most link.
