Resource Management

[Bixby]

Edit: Don't get me wrong, I don't think SE will make resource management a serious obstacle. This thread is more for the discussion of it as a concept in MMOs in general and how XIV is an example of a game without it.

Well, then, in that case: yes, I kind of miss it. I find it enjoyable when it's balanced well (meaning you have to pay attention to it, but you can make one or two recoveries if someone screws up or RNG is being a d-bag). It makes me feel a lot more connected to my party, and to the class I'm playing, and to the situation at hand.

It would be absolutely terrible in FFXIV as it is, though. There are too many twitchy, instant points of failure, and things are too scripted, to throw significant resource management on top of that and make it enjoyable.
