Rescue Needs to GO

[Haadrak]

I don't understand why it isn't instant. I don't understand why it isn't a teleport. I fail to see how either of these things would result in anything other than rescue becoming infinitely more user friendly and massively drop the number of posts about "OMG A HAELRE KILED ME BI USING RESKU, REMOVE NAO!!11!!!" Right now a lot of the time its a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation where someone is sitting in the bad and has made no moves to move out of it but still theoretically might move out of it. You now have the awkward moment where you think "do I rescue them to try to save them or do I hope they are actually paying attention and will get out of their own accord?" If you do cast rescue and they teleported away on their own, you might drag them back into the AoE. On the other hand if you wait till the last moment to make absolutely sure they are having a brainfade, then they die anyway because of the cast time. Why not make it an instant cast, teleport? The reason I also say teleport is because someone is standing ever so slightly downhill from you and you rescue them and...they go nowhere. It also means that if you do decide to rescue someone at the same time that they extricate themselves from a situation they still end in a safe spot rather than being dragged back through potentially lethal dangers. I also do not understand people complaining about trolling with rescue. If a healer wants to troll anyone but MT they can just stop healing you. They could accidentally on purpose run into AoEs themselves. You're never going to stop people from trolling by removing rescue. On my WAR I can just Shirk a DPS mid fight and turn off stance, should we remove tank stances and Shirk? wait a moment, I'VE GOT IT. What we'll do is make FFXIV a single player game and then you won't ever be trolled or harrassed by other players ever again...

Then don't rescue them at all, a single player dying isn't going to cause a wipe outside of Savage or certain Extreme fights. You don't need to be able to micromanage other players, they aren't there for you to boss around or place however you feel like they should stand.
