Rescue being used as a weapon

[Goji1639]

I'm a PLD, PLD has divine veil, I hate that it requires two steps to activate it's effect. Rescue is an emergency tool, that could be disastrous if a player does not consent. What you want is to be coddled in a team based game, its as simple as that. You will encounter trolls, and nasty people, and thats ok. These players don't need to be reported as they will likely be kicked and blacklisted by you for exercising troll behaviour. The game already has the tools to remove problematic people, and giving people a means to deny the use of a skill that could save a party from wiping is open to as much abuse as the ability itself.

Few, if any fights actually require the use of Rescue for success. Anyone who feels like they need the healer to control their character for them in order to do their job can allow it. People feeling like it's their right and privelege to control others characters for them is the kind of sociopathic mindset that makes abilities like this such a bad idea in the first place.

Creating an extra step allowing people the option to grant or deny permission to control their character is a fair compromise; just make the first step something that is done out of combat. You're just being defensive and irrational.
