As PG09 said,

Yep, that happened to me. I was doing an important part of my quest, and he let me go to jail. But, I'm an officer in my guild, so I kicked him out.

Pirate Girl, I had to see that with my own eyes on the Disney site. And I saw it.

Thats pretty harsh for not reviving him, I mean booting a fellow guild member? Really? And Aye, Disney is making this so people take this much more seriously than it needs to be. Wonder what kind of guild hes in, don't want to join it on acciedent.

My take on this: The following are just my opinions and experiences.

Disney got a lot of complaints on exactly what they posted. People would join a crew saying that they would revive if needed, then didn't do it. I'll bet that people were reporting these "not reviving as promised" crew mate pirates as being 'rude'.

There could be a lot of reasons for this.
One, If I revive one person, that uses one of my tonics. I CANNOT revive another person until my tonic recharges!!!! If someone else falls in battle, I can't help them. (No one even discussed this one.)
Two, they were preoccupoed with something else. (Like fighting for their own life.)
Three, they never had any intention of reviving. (Still doesn't justify a complaint. It's just pirates being pirates. Isn't one of the rules, Befriend others wisely?)
Four, The person who needed revived was random and just started demanding the revive, and didn't get it. (There is NO obligation to revive ANYBODY, EVER.)

I have used the revive feature exactly once. To try it. And the person I used it on deliberately knocked herself out with grenades just so I could revive her.

I have never been revived, for any reason. The few times I have fallen since this feature came out, I immediately hit the jail option. I'm not going to put my crew mates in jeopardy trying to revive me.

I see NO USE for the revive feature!

Since Disney removed the "Swarm" feature of enemies, and reduced the aggression factor, the only time you get in a fight is if you attack first. You should never attack an enemy unless you are prepared to fight. If you need a tonic, that is YOUR responsibilty, not someone elses. If you have a healer, (Crew) then you won't get knocked out, and won't need a revive. The game is based on levels. If you attack an enemy who is too strong for you to defeat, with all the weapons, tonics, and healing you can get, then that enemy is one you should not be fighting in the first place. If you attack an enemy who is too high for you, and you can't beat them by strength, a tonic, or healing, you deserve to go to jail.

Plain and simple.

I do like the one idea mentioned below by Jack Sunskull. If you revive someone, it uses one of THEIR tonics, not yours. If they have no tonics available, then they can't be revived. This would prevent a pirate from showing up with no tonics, yet expecting to be saved every time they get in trouble.

As far as someone booting a guildmate out of the guild for not reviving them. The person who got booted should be grateful. The officer who booted them did them a favor. I surely wouldn't want to be in a guild where a person like that was an officer. Being a GM or an officer is not about abusing the positon, it's about being a leader.

Just a side note. i think they're tweaking the aggression factor on enemies still. I have been noticing lately that some enemies that weren't attacking me even if I stepped on their feet are now attacking me when I get close to them. Examples I remember off the top of my head at the moment are last night with my new baby pirate (Cadets on PR, scorpions and crabs on Devil's Anvil) and the other night with little Sven with Timmy. I was just hanging around with Kat O'9 & Tess while they were working on Tim (whilst I was placing amusing thought bubbles above his head - haha). I mistakenly walked up to him before they pulled him and he thwomped on me good.

Anyway, back on topic.
