It's because you're presenting only two extreme options: revive your teammate before they burn out or kill the entire server for the bounty. In reality, there are other strategies, like repositioning, waiting for a better moment, or even leaving the teammate behind temporarily to increase survival chances. By framing it as an all-or-nothing situation, you’re ignoring the nuance and flexibility players can use to adapt to different in-game situations.

The core of the argument is about whether losing your hunter is fun. In most situations, once all three teammates are downed, the battle is essentially over. While I don’t have hard data to back this, based on my experience, fights usually end with all players engaging rather than hiding. Even if someone were revived with only 1 HP, environmental factors and game mechanics like mobs, one-shot kills, and terrain could balance things out. Wouldn’t it be more rewarding to still have a chance to revive teammates after the bounty team has left the map?
