Rescue is Griefing

[hydralus]

All this stuff

I'm comparing rescue to other ways that other players have an impact on your enjoyment of the game. Rescue is not special in that regard and pretending that it is a special problem... lol

A tank suddenly turning around right when a cleave buster comes out is griefing. Two stacks being stacked together will not only leave the whole party alive if they had sufficient health a majority of the time (hello e12, I get you almost daily), but a player can mitigate this by just... Walking away. I've done it a few times to keep myself alive when I knew that getting into the stack would be a death sentence.

The player still has their freedom of movement and can easily avoid that without losing uptime, I even think it can be engaging because it adds some necessity for a quick, unplanned reaction... And if it's dropping AOEs in melee range, even extra occasions to do that good feeling greeding stuff.

I digress a bit, but really, rescue aside, there is basically no way to mess with a conscious player's experience without outright griefing them. And if the player is very obviously a good player, why even cast rescue on them?
