"The only caveat I have to the social play aspect is the lack of a resurrection option for players who are partied up on a quest. If one player dies, they must respawn at an anima well which could be a vast distance away from where the party was working. There is no way to quick travel to one’s party either. Funcom has defended this decision by saying that the ultimate goal is for players to learn to fight in the most effective way possible rather than just concentrating on keeping players alive long enough, or by keeping resurrecting them enough times, to finish the quest (or dungeon). While I can understand the decision to a certain degree, I find that stripping players of the ability to resurrect party members to be a poor one."

I respectfully disagree with your view. It actually offers a bit of a challenge and accoutability for ones actions. It is a fresh change to how easy games have become. I almost expect an "I win" button on the hotbars of newer mmos lol. Anima wells in my opinion are really close by, theres one next to each boss inthe dungeons. All it means, is try to stay alive during a fight.
