What I find interesting is decision making - finding out whether I should be healing or DPSing at a moment in time, and which specific heal/DPS skill to use/optimize. I am not attracted at all to jobs that make me monitor a gauge spender- although I used to main a job elsewhere where that was a key part of the job design, even when resource management was made very strict, and I had no issues. I would much rather focus on CDs, and skill affects.
So we've all got to deal with an entire braindead role because you don't want to have to think about when to heal or when to DPS when that involves more than one button?
Might I suggest that we get what we want, and you don't do anything higher than level 30 if thinking bothers you that much.
Normally I'd suggest that we keep White Mage alone as the 1-button-spam healer, but now I'd rather those players just not bother if they care that little about trying.
