SE, the concept of "Limited Jobs" is a really bad idea, turn back now

So because it would require actual interaction, because it can rely on people stronger than it if people don't want to fully do it at level, it's not MMO like? Human interaction? THE HORROR!

Does it justify spending what is likely a lot of time and resources on a job relegated to little more than a tag-a-log when "real" jobs do all the work? Think about it. You wouldn't be playing Blue Mage in a dungeon because that level 80 Warrior would be doing all the work. You're 100% useless.

Strictly speaking the Trust system might offset this if implemented for older content. God knows the lvl 50 MSQ dungeon issues could be greatly mitigated with that system.

That said, there does seem to be somewhat a lack of things to actually do with a BLU.

Unfortunately, the Trust system is currently regulated to Shadowbringer content only. Regardless, this still makes Blue Mage a solo only job. So... I'd rather they put their resources to content that actually matters. Perhaps I'll be proven wrong, but I fully expect Blue Mage to be Hildebrand-esque, where they update it every seven months with a couple quests and one or two new abilities. That just doesn't scream excitement to me.

A level 50 Blue Mage, assuming they haven't slacked off on picking up abilities, should be able to contribute to primal fights perfectly fine. A crafter would never be able to pull any weight period.
And if it's already a mindless task that could be AFKed through as some insist, why would the 70/80 players care if a Blue Mage is there to learn something or not?

I can currently solo every ARR Primal on any job. By level 80, this will be even easier. Therefore, Blue Mage isn't contributing to jack shit. They're standing there doing nothing. Go into Titan EX with a friend right now except you're a level 50 Dragoon and they're a level 70 Warrior. Now pretend you're a Blue Mage because it'll be about the same experience.
