Thank you for making Blue Mage unique!

Yes, that is what people want. To be able to play the game like all the other jobs. This is not difficult concept to comprehend.

Thats what the other jobs are for. We're still getting two new jobs in the expansion. This is something extra.
Do you hate crafter/gatherers for taking part in "useless side content"?

But we aren't getting BLU like the other jobs, so I don't care about the two new jobs.

As I already answered you in another thread, the crafters/gatherers are not jobs and they DO directly interact with the social aspect of the game through the economy. And even still many people do see crafting and gathering as useless side content. BLU is even worse than that.

Pretty much. Blue Mage is my favorite job in the series by a long shot. A pretty big part of my playing this long was to hopefully be able to engage in FFXIV with my peers as one someday.

Gatherers and crafters help you make money and support yourself.
DoM/DoW classes have a purpose in any form of content and are not restricted.
BLU is restricted and is only partially playable and doesn't interact like a normal class would revolving around RNG and can't even level to do the new xpac.

It's not hard to see why BLU is a side attraction like Gold Saucer that doesn't engage in any other content besides the limited content it can do so why can't I play it like any other class? That makes it pretty useless.
