And I think you have to play on Crystal Data Center for long enough to even understand why I would want enmity management to come back...

Debuffs, the beans,
old ast cards the lentils,
cleric stance the onion.
etc., etc.
All added together made a fairly nice tasty stew.

what the combat system has become in recent XIV is nothing more than a bowl of water.. and if all they did was add emnity back then it becomes just a rather boring bowl of boiled potatoes and still lacking all the other ingredients that made it tasty and flavorful.

any one ingredient on its own doesn't make or break a combat system it's how they all work together. and you can't make a delicious bowl of stew without a delicious mix of ingredients.
In regards to the food analogy, I would have gone with the "you ask for the chef to make grilled cheese sandwich and they make a culinary monstrosity instead" but the Stew analogy works too... though old AST cards coming back would need their own separate thread(if one doesn't exist already) on the healer forums, same with Cleric stance, which then raise the question; what part of the game is the meat and what kind of meat...?
