    They can't really "oops lag" multiple people Rescuing you into things. Especially if you tell them to stop and they continue to do it anyway. They can really only claim a misclick once as well, so it's important to point it out as it happens for the sake of the logs later. Communication is important, so if you just stay silent as they do it there won't be much evidence of it if you decide to report it later.

    The chat log can be a powerful tool when it comes to reporting people for harassment or griefing. In the future, if people do that to you, ask them to stop. If they keep doing it, explain that it's griefing, etc. If there's a chance of a language barrier, use the auto-translate thing to be like "{please stop} {Rescue}" or something. Make sure they know you don't want them doing it, and if they answer "lol no" then you have proof they know they're messing with you and won't stop, so that alone would be useful in a report.
    Anyone who's smart will say absolutely nothing, ignore you, and continue to do it.

    That's basically what a lot of people in the DF already do (regarding any form of suboptimal play that they are given advice on), even the people who aren't trolling.

    If it happens once and it wasn't intentional then I'll tend to let it slide, but if it keeps happening and only to me then yeah I'll report it because clearly there is some targeting going on for no reason. Never underestimate the combat log though cause even if players don't say anything in chat, GMs can see if "X used Rescue on Y" followed by " Y received 99999 amount of damage", and if it's there multiple times then clearly something is going on.

    I've had this done to me during an Eden EX trial- the other healer kept rescuing me into Edens mechanics for fun- The 1st time they did it, I didn't get to say anything right away because I was able to save myself thanks to one of the tanks shielding me- He saw it too- but the other healer was in a group with other members there, including one of the tanks-- the second time the healer rescued me got me killed & you could tell it was deliberate- when I asked why they rescued me just to kill me, they said "bc why not?" I screened the chat, reported them but I doubt anything was made of it.

    This is really weird. I could've sworn I left a reply here and I even have this thread among my subscriptions, yet my post is nowhere to be found D:

    Anyway, I'll try to repost my reply the way I remember it:
    I've had a similar experience. I was doing E3 NM (the Levi one), and the 2 healers were friends. I think they were either drunk or trolling. They were doing a bad job keeping people alive, and the one of them who got the stack mark kept running around, making everyone chase after them. Anyway, what annoyed me even more was when Levi did this thing where the center part of the arena collapses. I was on the right platform doing my best DPSing as hard as I could to get the painful run over with, but then a healer on the left platform decided to rescue me into the void in the middle. It was just stupid. We cleared eventually after many hiccups, but these 2 healers' antics resulted in unnecessary deaths and wipes and wasted everyone's time since it took us well over 30 minutes to clear a fight that probably usually takes 10 minutes or so.

    They could easily claim that they were lagging or something, so it might be a bit difficult for you to prove to a GM that trolling was their goal here. Worth a try though. To me that is obvious trolling.

    I like griefing my friends with rescue once in a while in dumb content, but doing that what randoms is really dumb and asking for a report ^^' I would report them if they did that to me twice
