Rescue is Griefing

[HyoMinPark]

So because you haven't been griefed with it means other people aren't?

That’s not what I said, but thank you for putting words in my mouth. I’m sure instances of griefing happen. I just don’t think they’re nearly as common as “practically every run” or “every 4-5 runs” of something. Playing this game, I don’t see it nearly as often as some of the posts—yours included—claim. So I say to you again: please do not exaggerate when you’re trying to make a legitimate argument. And perhaps don’t put words in other people’s mouths either. Have a good rest of your day!

You say I'm putting words in your mouth but then you say the exact same thing. You think anyone who has bad experiences with rescue and wants something done about it is a liar and blowing it up out of proportion. All because you claim you don't see it, and if it does happen, you think it must have been a mistake.

I have my own gripes with Rescue, but some of y'all making it sound deeper than it really is tbh.

Say what you will, but people blow things wildly out of proportion. Your post was a perfect example of that, since you claim that every run of Dohn Mheg has Rescue griefing, which I highly doubt since it’s just statistically unlikely. This thread is a perfect example since we have individuals complaining about the “autonomy of their characters” and any violation of that automatically equals abuse or griefing.

You claim I don’t see it so I think it’s unlikely; have you ever considered that you’re only seeing what you want to see and not actual incidents of mistakes or friends using it on each other or other innocent/applicable uses and just throwing them all under the same veil? Genuine question.

I spent most of my time in Stormblood playing BRD. Still didn’t see a bunch of healers using it to grief despite it being the new toy. I healed more in ShB and heal more now, but again: I do not see other healers using this with the frequency that you keep implying. Remember: you were the one who said “every run” of Dohn Mheg and “every 4-5 runs” of CT raids. I would wager I could do 5 runs of each and definitely not see it in the majority. Certainly not in every one.

You want to discredit my anecdotes and say yours are the absolute truth—but at the end of the day, they are both anecdotes. Exaggerations don’t make for decent arguments. That’s why hyperbole is considered an argumentative fallacy. Saying something always happens is a hyperbole; same as saying something never happens. I didn’t say they never happen; I just contested the assertion that they are extremely common. Which you keep implying with your posts to me.

I’m not going to waste any more of my limited daily posts running in circles with someone who simply wants to argue with their feelings. I say to you again: have a good rest of your day.
