Tanks, please use strength gear.. :(

Really though automated describes agro management in ff14 perfectly.

I'm guessing you didn't tank in WoW (or if you did, you did so prior to mid-Wrath of the Lich King, when the tanks were designed differently). All tank actions have an enmity modifier of some ridiculous number (5000x or something like that, I don't recall the exact figure)--there were no skills that had special enmity modifiers, so as long as you were doing your rotation, you had threat, pretty much full stop. Resources weren't as much of an issue in AoE situations, either, as tanks could AoE to their heart's content in WoW since things regenerated much more quickly than MP and TP do here.

That's pretty different from FFXIV, where automated doesn't necessarily apply. If you don't use your enmity skills, you won't generally hold hate, and you have to gauge how much you need to use them given your group's damage and healing output at the time. There's nothing automatic about that--you actually have to make decisions regarding aggro control. WoW's system is automated because enmity is automatically applied to everything you do.
