The thing that annoyed me most before the MP regen feature was that someone would always say to me "Oh, could you fix..." just after touching a node. Losing half your MP changing back from a DoH job was a pain in the rear- granted not insurmountable but still... I personally don't see it as being any different to the HP regen while in passive mode or the /kneel command from FFXI. I know people hate the comparison to FFXI, but this is a Final Fantasy series game so it is human nature to draw some comparisons- so apologies to those that it upsets ^^.
