Okay. Quite honestly, I know D&D, but I'll stick up for Icelyn on this one. Low level mage's can be REAL frustrating when you don't have your spells. Everyone else in the party is the hero at low levels. You cast the occasional level 1 or 2 spell, and everyone else is hammering your enemies while you throw mostly Fire Bolt or some other cantrip. Mages don't really start to take off until level 5.
So, I can totally understand a mage player wanting to rest more frequently. Who wants to feel like a side kick in your own story?
Edit: That said, I personally enjoy spellcasters and try to avoid using spells until I absolutely need them because I view them in D&D as strategists who have to play their cards just right. They're like chess players, and they can be the most challenging characters to play well when you really restrict resting. Not everyone likes this, though.
