    Resource management is part of the fun of combat and without it you're just pressing buttons.
    I feel like the only remotely relevant reason to bring back TP would be DRK and PLD. Otherwise, why have two separate gauges just to arbitrarily waste one or the other? Apart from those two hybrids, all would be either a pink gauge class or a yellow gauge class, with no crossover. That or you'd have to somehow add meaningful TP usage to every caster.

    Then again, "meaningful" is a higher standard than any MP users follows right now. Outside of, again, DRK and PLD, MP gauges are basically just soft rez-charge meters.

    And as Semirhage mentioned, constraints are only as interesting as your ability to maneuver around them is more interestingly than what gameplay would be present without those constraints. Simply losing access to your kit every other GCD after X minutes is fun to no one.

    If you can't actually manage it (only be managed/stopped by it) --and in more depth than just hitting a bloat button once per minute or two-- it's not resource management.
