I think this is meant to draw a line between being in battle and not. You get faster run speed, and heal hp/mp out of battle. In battle you do not do these things, but you can instantly attack, and have slower tp loss. Also as renta says, works with claiming.

If they take it out, they will probably have to reduce movement speed, or increase monster movement speed, in either case make escape from battle improbable, they will also have to kill hp and mp regen, which would suck for soloists. In all honestly active and passive battle are pretty good elements, and take away nothing from the game. Looks like they are thinking about dumbing it down and making it able to be done while moving, and be faster to happen anyhow, so whatever hate you have for it may be solved with thier changes.
