Rescue needs to go away.

Don't post in a public forum if you don't want to be responded to~. (:

Respond all you like, don't make assumptions about me you have no basis in.

You legit admitted in this very thread you once got Rescue'd by a healer wanting you to pull the next pack - likely the entire party did. Any tank worth their salt will be double pulling in most content above 50, and those who don't tend to not be very good tanks (or players, honestly).

Interesting you'd assume I wasn't going to full pull and someone using rescue to "fix" my style was in the right. the 3 times I can remember experiencing this I apparently wasn't going "fast" enough for them. I WAS pulling wall to wall, I just wasn't popping sprint all the time. Also interesting you automatically assume everyone else in the party was OK with someone correcting me.

You also are quite known around here for posting in favor of removing things, dumbing the game down, taking away class identity, and generally white knighting the absolute heck out of SQE and the toxic casualist playerbase's 'right' to play like garbage at the expense of their team. It really ain't hard to figure out what sort of player and person you are just from seeing you around the forums on a regular basis.

Am I? I kinda felt I stood more against people ADDING things than removing things but interesting that's your perception. I tend to try and give perspective to people who "SE should just (insert incredibly simple description of a largely complex process)" things because I HAVE experience in those things. SE is a company and deserves no particular charity, but people who work in programming, networking and customer service should have a voice as well. I don't think people have a "right" to play like garbage, but I think that you as just another player don't have the right to judge what they are and are not capable of from the safety of the other side of your screen and speak on behalf of the supposed "greater good". You can keep trying to strawman the heck out of who I am as a person and a gamer, but it's not going to change who I actually am. You've been wrong on every account so far so I suggest you chill with the assumptions of my character and playstyle.

As to making Rescue a toggle, you already have that - Arm's Length or Surecast. If you're that scared a healer will yank you out of an AoE or into another pack of mobs or whatever, use your in-game tools to reject it ahead of time. There's no point forcing a toggle on the skill when we have an available tool as is - and anything beyond that would effectively make the skill useless.

I'm not "scared" but I also don't think I should have to pay attention to what the healer is casting to "defend" my decisions in game.

Heck, it's already rare to see it used anyway in casual content. If you're seeing it that much, one has to wonder if you're doing things to warrant it being used on you so often.

And again you show you aren't actually reading my responses.. I've said I think 4 times now I do not encounter abuse or even use very often, but when I do encounter people using it ON ME, it's in the majority not for my benefit.
