They were laughing and having a blast because it was one large premade group, but anyone can do that at any time. If someone wants to troll, there are countless ways they can do it. Removing Rescue will not fix that issue. It is not a problem that you can fix. That is the reality of MMOs.
But we're not even arguing for an outright removal. We're arguing for counter measures to prevent being trolled. Giving someone the ability to relocate my character at any given point without any nuance is too much. And frankly, as a tank main rescue annoys the living hell out of me. The game needs to give players an option to opt out one way or another. It works perfectly fine in WoW that way too. You're not going to suddenly not need healers because they can't rescue you. It just gives you the control over whether or not you want to be subject to the rather annoying ability. And you have provided no good counter argument against this.
