    I hardly ever see rescue used to troll people. I actually can't even remember it happening once outside of groups of friends.

    I've seen Re-screw exactly twice, both of them yesterday. Queued into Trial Roulette on my Warrior, it was Ifrit, soon as I got into my Berserk groove I'm suddenly sliding across the arena towards the White Mage. And then the Gunbreaker gets yoink'd to the other healer, carrying fire-doggo across the arena and cleaving like half the party.

    I'm almost willing to attribute both of those to just fat-fingering since both of the healers were very confused when called on it. But it's also entirely possible they were just pranksters in cahoots.

    I have yet to encounter this being used as a troll tactic; and while I won't deny that this can happen, I think the people who use this as a basis to call for a removal of the ability are grossly overblowing any real "issue." I see Provoke being used as a 'trolling' tactic to mess with boss positioning who happen to have cleaves. Can we change/remove that too? /sarcasm.

    I imagine that you can deal with healers that you're positive are doing this out of spite the same way as any healer who refuses to actually heal anybody or any player who makes it their goal to be an active hindrance: Vote kick.
