Its very easy to see why people are worried about Blue mage. Every patch we receive less and less content (going from 3 dungeons a patch in arr, To 2 dungeons a patch in HW, and now 1.5 every patch in SB) because resources are directed towards other ventures. These other projects (eureka, diadem, Lord of vermillion) are not popular to the majority of players, and it shows there is a huge disconnect between what is being developed and what people want.

Because of this disconnect, and how all these other projects have been received, blue mage fans are worried this means after you finish your three stages of blue carnival, they're going to have to unsub for a year or so before they have anything else to do as blue mage
The discontent comes from people who can't raid Ucob and Uwu, because thats where alot of the time is going. Ucob and Uwu can't be done by the vast majority of the players. Still they gave the raiders this content. Same goes for Eureka, its still being done, secretly there are some who even enjoy the content! The reason why we get "less content" (oh noes one dungeon) is so we can get more different content to appease other players with a wider variety of content, this is ffxiv's charm. Everything can be done rapidly, omega can be cleared in 2 hours on tuesday, your weekly donations and the watching of cutscenes are done in 10 minutes for the rebuilding of Doman's enclave. There are alot of little things in this game, but when you do them all it actually turns out that there is alot to do.

BLU on the other hand, gets hours an hours of play time of the get go. You won't have all your skills in the first few days and even if you did, you spend plenty(60+) of hours on said content. And hey, they brought out an entire class in a patch, that is where your dungeon went for example.

Honestly if the reason you sub is only raiding or BLU or ??, then ask yourself why you play this game, because there is ALOT of content out there.
