Weird, I played the old games a fair bit and I don't actually remember anyone complaining about that. The AI being rubbish, the inventory management, some of the more ridiculous cheesy stuff like selling the things you just stole to the merchants you stole it from, selling wands to recharge them, some of the encounters in BG2 being made too trivial by certain items (Shield of Balduran, for instance), and ToB being too linear...

All that I remember, but I don't recall there being a whole lot of noise about unlimited resting. If people wanted to play that way then that was on them.

While I wasn't active on the forums when the game came out, it was a topic during the era where I started to use mods. Maybe around '05?
Hard to remember..

But yeah, many talks about how rest abusing made the already easy game even easier and such stuff.
I personally never understood that complaint, since no one forces you to use that mechanic. It is not like James Ohlen bursts through your wall after a battle and pushes the rest button on your pc..

I always where a cheaty&exploity kind of gamer when I was younger, but I still never used rest spam.
