Not good. The raiders are the most vocal haters based on my observations

Give end-game relevant rewards for the Masked Carnivale

Why do you assume this is not the case, though?

Give it regular updates:
A new Masked Carnivale stage for each expansion’s worth of content. Heavensward enemies in MC 2.0, Stormblood enemies in MC 3.0, etc. Keeping those rewards mentioned above relevant. Provide more spells with updates, that also increases the level cap, something like:

Again, why do you assume this is not the case?

Update the deep dungeons specifically for Blue Mage, with its own rewards for completing them as a Blue Mage.

Blue Mage Already has a special duty all for them. Giving them their special dungeon would be weird. And Deep Dungeons don't work because of how Blue Mage gains abilities.

Give it a PvP skillset. Every other job has its own PvP skillset that works completely different to its normal skills, there’s no reason why BLU can’t be the same.

I actually agree with this one.

Your points after this basically explained that the only consistent part of Blue Mage is learning skills from monsters. This Blue Mage does that. One of the most common water down versions I read says that Blue Mage should get abilites as rewards from job quests where you kill monsters. That would not. Get it now?

"Where would you learn how to use group Blue Mage?" Dude... the same place you learn how to use group ANY job. Nothing in the game teaches you how to use the best rotation or how to properly play any of the jobs in the game. It's a glaring flaw in this game, and pointing it out as a reason to limit BLU is just disingenuous.

You might not learn, but you can practice it in the open world. You use the same skills. But if you use different skills and even different traits in raids (as some posters suggest) you would need to relearn everything with a raid boss in your face. Not good.

I do care, cause time and energy are finite. Even for a big development team.
