Rescue is Griefing

[BluexBird]

You know what else is griefing? Going into a fight and then proceeding to put minimal effort into dealing damage. Yeah. Like just make it take as long as possible for your party to clear the content. That's griefing. Should be remove it from the game? Oh wait, no! YOU CAN'T! Actually, technically you aren't even supposed to TELL when someone is griefing in this manner. But alas...

Let's say you COULD tell when someone is griefing with the method I mentioned earlier. What would your reaction be? I'm guessing you, like any other normal person, would simple make the perfectly rational and reasonable decision to remove that player from your party, and just simply not play with them again. Easy, right?

DO THE SAME THING WITH HEALERS WHO ABUSE RESCUE!

NOBODY IS ABUSING RESCUE. IF THEY DO, KICK THEM FROM THE PARTY! EASY SOLUTION. Also I know you're a troll, and that this whole-ass thread was done as a joke, but I felt like explaining this out anyway just to show how dumb you are.

EDIT: Another example of griefing - you know those AoE tank busters in dungeons? Just waltz over to the healer as a tank, and make sure they get hit as well. What's next? You gonna complain that tank busters should be removed because people are griefing with it? Or are you gonna STOP BEING A LITTLE BABY and just KICK THEM FROM THE PARTY?

Kicking a healer can be rough since the window is so small.

It is rare, but I have had some success with getting rid of AFK DPS or an AFK healer in 24-mans by first bringing up in party chat that they’re AFK; and then, if loot is opened, I have very rarely gotten the other two to wait before pulling the next boss for the loot to expire to allow us to kick. It doesn’t work every time, though, sadly. Especially if we’re in something like CT or Void Ark because apparently it’s just okay to carry someone not doing anything.

Not sure how well it would work if you brought up a healer that kept purposely using this skill to kill people on the times it happens.

True, in truth if someone asked me to stop pulling because a healer was using rescue to kill people I most likely would let it go unless for some reason it lead to a wipe. Generally even with someone AFK most the time I just go vroom vrooom and just speed blitz everything I rarely wait out the timer for a kick tbh. Not worth the time imo rather just carry the dead weight and be on my Mary way.

How do I kick the person who pulls me into ancient flare on LoTA? It's the last fight of the raid so by the time combat finishes and I'm able to kick again the duty is over.
How do I kick someone who pulls me into the pit on Dhon Mheg? It's the same situation, last boss fight and there's no chance to kick them until after the duty is over because that's the last fight in the duty when most troll rescues happen.
What about in Trials? there's no opportunity to kick in those unless the group wipes.
In most of these cases, kicking isn't an option, you just have to tough it out with an actively malicious player who can pull you to your death or into a mechanic every 2 minutes if they feel like it. There's absolutely no recourse for a player who's falling victim to it when it's being abused.

What the fuck are you doing to be rescue griefed so much? How is it that you're getting rescue griefed like 85% more than the entire XIV population lol? Maybe at some point it's just you

I'm just playing the game, usually on tank when it happens. It's my fault that people decide they want to be trolls and yank me around?

It must be, I'd love to know what it is you experience in your gameplay. Being rescued by a healer is an extremely rare occurance, even rarer for it to be to your detriment. Sure it can happen but it is one of the most rare occurances in the game. I would love to see gameplay evidence of this if it is happening often to you.

It's probably even rarer to get rescued on a tank because most healers know that even if you get hit by a mechanic you're not gonna die.

Dude I mained tank for literally the longest time when I started this game, had no idea how to play tank, and even finished EW as tank. I cannot recall a single time I've ever been griefed by like.. anyone. And the one time I did have a problem the party votekicked.

Do you know the saying "if you think everyone around you is the jerk, it might be time to reevaluate your own behavior?" yeah, that might apply here lol. I literally cannot see why you would be getting rescue griefed so much if there wasn't already beef between you and the healer
