There is no health management in Disney's ToonTown Online; there's really no way around this fact. Players are unable to regenerate their own health outside of returning to town and waiting for health to regenerate over time, and since health is a vital resource, the one that is most important to players, management of the resource and expending the least amounts of it for the greatest reward is of highest priority to players.
That said, not being able to manage one's health encourages players to leech; when joining battles where enemies are at low health, players can effectively risk little of their health, since the enemy will likely be defeated within the round without a chance of retaliation, since players always act before enemies, yet at the same time gaining quest rewards and, depending on the speed of the weapon chosen by the leech in question, weapon skill progression. At higher levels, players can even steal the kill of the players who worked to wear down the enemies in question, effectively voiding any concept of playing together or even a sense of achievement.
Simply put, the lack of health management is a failure on the part of the game designers that will be detrimental to the game in the long run.
