When it was announced that Blue Mage would be a limited class I was disappointed but it's already apparent that the Devs have a hard time balancing the current classes at this time.
So I stayed open minded when they made it sound like it was going to be a broken class that would allow me to use crazy spells in end game content, like they were pitching how Doom could work on Raid bosses during Fant.
Once I got to end game 50 content, these bosses are pretty resistant to a majority of spells and so are quite a few trash mobs.
Basically I was open to the idea of Blue Mage being the Game Genie of older content and found myself very disappointment in that regard as well.

So where is the thread where we ask SE to make BLU a main job because I don’t want to give up hope!

After looking at what BLU, it would have made a cool DPS caster. It would have also been easy to make it about hunting spells and let it join DF. Level 1 trait would give xp bonus from open world mobs. The job quest would be go learn a certain set of spells and you couldn't "unlock" DF role until you had those spells equipped for your current level.
Then the combo system would be fun like Petrify > Drill attack, Ram Voice > Dragon Voice, Bad Breath > Aqua Breath. Basically debuff for a starter then clear away for greater potency.

The fundamental problem isnt BLU itself its the fact that so much of it is tied to RNG in old content rather than making anything really new s.o its "limited"
BLU is invested in running old content and instances to get moves.
If they do Puppetmaster or something similar it will be tied to gil or some random currencies that you have to farm endlessly to get the best moves or sets (item drops) to craft like in FFXI you could get models off the MB for that particular bit of instanced content.
Just wait and see Beast master is going to be beast tribes for ffx type monster arena and if they do something like Corsair or Gambler proper its gonna be MGP farm.
Instead of giving us viable raid jobs particularly dps that the community wants its gonna be this kinda thing chopped up once a year getting updates.
