Limited Jobs are like a charity service. You have to be willing to help others with no profit in it for you other than the satisfaction of helping others. Yes, there are generous souls out there in the world that would run thru Shiva Ex a thousand times til you got Glass Dance but you can't honestly expect this to go over well when its required for at least a solid 1/3 of your toolkit in order to actually enjoy the job for the 1 bit of content that its designed for; You're asking a lot for very little pay out especially when its a one shot pay off.
The time investment involved with skill acquisition coupled with the lackluster reward of the Masked Carnival are why BLU failed so horribly. I can't run content without going the extra mile of begging others to play with me in outdated content or playing the only content designed for me that I have already cleared out fully.
Why I look forward to Limited jobs

give till the next Limit Jobs come out that we give it a grace period
a expansion is the expansion and it patch cycle.
my challenge to those against blue mage is to come up with suggest to improve the job we have now to make more solo friendly because if you look at summoner I don't think they change blue mage any time soon -
10-05-2019, 03:48 AMVideraI don't think we should wait until 5.5 before being able to say that a piece of content is objective garbage.Quote:

because your impatient and what judge what has not be finish or has been buff or nerf you and you want it to be what you want blue mage to be the picture fit in to the trinity. well guess what it doesn't if how they dealt with summoner is any thing to go by they never change blue mage you stuck with it as is you make 100 thread demand them to change or get anger at me for like it as is and like limited jobs but the devs won't change it. in fact you tried rally the community since most people think the way my fc mate think that forum are full troll they won't care. through I seen them as place give helpful feed back but for people like me the dozen of people who whine and throw fit of had they don't like the job and want to be just as they picture it to be because it new it hasn't been done before it isn't like any of jobs that ffxiv has done before.

Two things that are only an issue in random group. So, thos gilded spells would indeed be the only ones you would have in PUG, and would probably be learned via job quests of through an easy-non-random process.Quote:

Since you don't have the actual numbers, that's an assumption based on a the vocal part of the playerbase, which is always a minority.Quote:

At least we could still continue to play BLU for the entirety of the game if it
was a normal job. Not play for a few days to a week and never again until
it's next update.
This isn't want the player base wanted so no ones going to care.Quote:

BLU is a joke. Just because we don't agree with you doesn't mean we're trolls.
Like dang, let people have an opinion on a job they wanted so badly that turned to crap.
With that, I'm done replying to you since how you're acting.
