People who are mad about the "limited job" didn't actually want Blue Mage.

BLU is like the kid at an amusement park that doesn’t quite meet the height requirements. While all the other jobs are off doing anything the game has to offer. BLU is stuck on the kiddie rides.

He also gets all the hand-me-downs from his older, cooler siblings.

"Hey BLU, you can have my old Titan Extreme to play with, I haven't touched it in years anyway."

That’s actually kind of sad...

Dont forget the reason BLU being kept at level 50 and already making its way in patch 4.5 is for testing and checking feedback from players. Nonetheless I still think the limit should be lifted atleast for casual content.
Beside we dont know how the skills work and if they are actually ogcd or have a global cooldown.
Also we dont know how strong BLU healing, buffing and debuffing skills are. Hence all you can do is convince the Dev Team that BLU should still be playable in easy content - extreme primals, savage raid, ultimate, etc would probably not work unless they go and try balance the job.

But lets be honest here. They have so many jobs to balance already and new jobs are coming at the same time. It shouldnt surprise anyone that they dont have the time to do it.

Hmm. I'm not angry about anything. The first thing to point out is that everything is subjective. There will always be people on both sides of the fence.

Example: I quite enjoyed Diadem, but I didn't think people were playing it how it was intended.

Please keep this in mind while writing these emotional posts.

That said, I enjoyed BLU in XI, and I am looking forward to spending hours upon hours trying to learn Pollen. Again. I think having the real blue magic learning is a nice touch.

However, I also want to be able to do content on BLU. I wanted to "main" it throughout Shadowbringers.

I doubt the direction for BLU is set in stone as of yet. I'd simply like to be able to do "regular" content on my BLU. I'm ok with having to use the party finder to farm the primal spells. But the main content in the game is the tomestone grind.

I'd like to, in the future at some point, be able to use my BLU for "the grind", please.

OP if you want a class that was limited to 30% of the game then sure but people actually wanted to play the majority of the game with Blue mage.

I wanted blue mage. I loved blue mage in ffxi. As far as how it is being implemented in ffxiv if they keep it how they stated I will be avoiding it like the plague it is. This is not an acceptable option for blue mage. I hope SE reads its forums and changes what it has done to a job I love.

Its entirely possible that the Carnivale, and whatever other content is designated as end game for BLU, could award current tombstones at level cap.

I hope they listen to the people voicing their support for what they're doing with BLU because that is the BLU I wish to play.
