Rescue is Griefing

[HyoMinPark]

Raising someone isn't god moding? You're sacrificing 2000 MP and Swiftcast(sometimes, othertimes just valuable time) to bring someone back who you then have to heal and who then has the weakness status for almost two minutes. That's pretty fair, isn't it?

You misunderstand. I’m not talking about simply raising. I’m talking about how I can pick and choose who to raise. Like the “problematic” teammate that dies repeatedly. Perhaps even one that I’ve Rescued into closer range so that they can get healed, and they just run right back out of it and miss subsequent healing. That’s more god modeing than being able to pull someone to me once every 2 minutes since now I’m choosing if they are raised to actively participate.

Rescue isn’t god modeing. If it is, then simply playing a healer is god modeing because healers determine if you live or die.

And no, what happened is they rescued me as we were both running towards the rest of the party. The party wasn't even that far away, and right as I got to the party I was pulled right back to where they had cast rescue. Perhaps they lagged and saw me far behind them, who knows, but considering I was out performing them for the entire fight, they should have kept to themselves. Also I love how you make the assumption that they were already with the party. Honestly, that alone voids the majority of your arguments.

Then perhaps do a better job of explaining what happened if you don’t want people assuming? I do wonder how you know you were out performing them the entire time, though. Quite curious…

And since you're so confident that mistiming or misjudging a rescue is not abuse,

That’s because it is not. Unless you want to say a healer making a mistake—which is what a misjudgment or mistiming is—is also abuse. Do you consider a WHM mistiming their Cure III and the healing propagation causing two party members furthest away to die due to the game not registering the heal fast enough abuse as well? What about if a healer misjudged the minimum amount of HP needed to live the next raidwide and someone dies from that?

then I assure you, from now on I will report all failed instances of rescue that result in the death of the one being "rescued." We'll find out if it's punishable or not by whether or not the GMs take action.

Considering you will never know if they take action or not per GM policy, seems like a pointless endeavor to me. But you must be fun to have in parties if your solution is to threaten reports for every little thing that upsets you or accidentally gets you killed.

Btw, the reports would only be accepted if you were the person involved. GMs don’t respond to third party reports that don’t involve you. So if you report the WHM for “griefing and killing” a BLM with Rescue, then definitely nothing will happen because you aren’t the BLM involved.
