Rescue is Griefing

[TaleraRistain]

I tend to use Rescue sparingly. I agree with NekoMataMata's general point that I'm deciding for someone else when I use it. I try to give my party mates the benefit of the doubt that they have a plan. Unless it's something I know is insta-death and they won't make it to the safe area in time. Or they have been missing mechanics and I'm not confident they won't continue to miss them. But I'm generally pretty chill even if they get a vuln here and there so long as it's not putting undue strain on my ability to maintain support for the entire party.

As Packetdancer mentioned, Rescue can be janky sometimes. I really don't like the drag animation. I would be a lot happier if it was an instant warp. Because I have accidentally killed people with server lag and yanking them through the bad. I apologized and most were pretty cool about it. So I'm not afraid of using Rescue. I just don't find a lot of instances where I feel it needs to be used. I wouldn't cry if they got rid of it, since it can be used for some rather obnoxious purposes. If they did, then I'd be happy to get a gap closer instead.

What I've said before is "If you stand in the bad, I will assume you have a plan to get to safety in time. If you do not do so, and thus die, I will assume your timing was off. If you stand in the same bad and die again, I will begin to consider the possibility that I am your plan to get to safety, and may act accordingly."

(Though in all honesty, I tend to go a lot longer than that before I start to ponder Rescue as a viable option for getting someone through mechanics.)

Same. To be honest, my Rescue gets a lot of dust on it. And things are so fast-paced sometimes that I'm worrying about getting myself to safety and there isn't time if they aren't already partially along the way with me. My Rescue probably gets the most use in LotA and I'm sure you know exactly what fight I mean. Sometimes in Syrcus or Dun Scaith, too. And sometimes in a couple Nier raids, though most of the time even the Twelve aren't going to save them.

It's biggest use for me was in old Prae at the elevator when you had someone AFK. You could yoink them onto the platform and everyone could move on.

Only if you were in battle

For some reason, it always worked there for me. Invariably their weapon was drawn but they were motionless.

Edit: Come to think of it - it was because of the opening zergs. Everyone was still in battle at that point people went afk.

They probably had aggro from past mobs. But Rescue can only be used in combat so if there's no aggro in those areas, then that person gets to be left behind.
