I admit I'm also bewildered. I think I have probably been Rescued less than 10 times in this game total (whether playing healer or not), and as a healer I find myself using Rescue maybe once every other month, usually on sprouts in Crystal Tower raids who don't know the mechanics and are about to die.

This thread makes it sound like Rescue is used constantly, to the point that Goji's describing other players as "the enemy", which seems incredibly extreme.

Yes, other players can be a hindrance or a hazard; I've had plenty of people run around in a panic and drop an AoE on me, drag the trailing-exoflare mechanics across where I'm standing during Dun Scaith, Orbonne Monastery or Copied Factory. I've seen people not interrupt the adds in Puppets' Bunker more times than I want to think (thus inflicting paralysis on me). I've had people run across landmines and obliterate the entire party in Palace of the Dead or Heaven-on-High... sometimes near the end of the deep dungeon.

Heck, I've seen DPS greed more than a few times on E9S, die, and then taken their portion of a spread-or-stack mechanic in addition to my own since they're down, thus instantly dying.

In short, I have racked up quite a few deaths and wipes in this game which stem from someone else doing a thing wrong. But that doesn't mean the other players are "the enemy"; this is a collaborative game, and I'm still trying to work with them to solve things. (Even when sometimes the other players might make me want to tear out my own hair.)
