    Remove it from the game, very few use it for good, I have seen people pull tank off the edge just to wipe the entire party or even yank them into aoe's on purpose.
    To those who use it correctly will defend it but you cannot defend those who use it the wrong way.

    It gets old because every other dungeon has that one person who is itching to cause problems who doesn't care and they don't get in trouble due to the fact its a mechanic in the game.
    best option is either remove it or remove the option for it to target tanks.

    Not sure if "every other dungeon" is just hyperbole, but its definitly not my experience - I can count the times someone used Rescue on me on one hand (outside of pre-planned, coordinated use within my static). I'd say 40% was someone trying out that new button, 50% was someone who was at least well meaning and stopped to use when they were asked not to (had a couple of healers panic-rescuing my bard during EX-trials - it seems fair enough to me that they didnt know/assume that I had my backflip lined up to jump into position at the last moment) and 10% were accidents.
    During most of my runs I dont even see a Rescue at all - if you have a Rescue-troll in every other dungeon, you're eitehr greatly exaggerating, an extremly unlucky person or... you know... if something happens to you all the time, but to other people less so, one has to ask what the common factor is in all those troll filled runs...

    Yeah that's pretty much my experience aswell. I got a couple of "sorry wanted to test it xD" and "whoops misclick" but the majority of it was genuinly well-meant and had I been in their shoes I probably wouldn't have trusted me to get somewhere in time either because I tend to cut it really, really close. Or I was in Don Mheg and the healer didn't know that you can't Rescue people to the other side after the tightrope walk.
    The only runs where I see Rescue get used every time and usually multiple times is in Copied Factory because of the sheer amount of people who are about to get themselves killed. Marx Smash and the box drop on the 2nd (?) boss are almost guaranteed to kill someone.

    People actively trying to cause problems for randoms is something I only see rarely and never without a very vocal disagreement in party chat beforehand. Of course if people queue together they may troll each other and them not being on the same server isn't really an indicator that they are strangers. So as long as it's not directed at me and I'm not bothered by it, I'll keep quiet. If they feel bothered, they are free to speak up. If not, they are probably premade.

    Let's not go encouraging SE to remove more healer abilities, hmm?
