Blue Mage might actually be a good thing.

False. Just because you've chosen to "end" your progress in the the game at a certain point does not change where the game actually ends. You're "end game" may only be to complete every entry in the sightseeing log, but that doesn't make the sightseeing log in and of itself "end game". You can't just go changing the definitions of words to fit your argument, well you can, but everyone else has the right to correct your inappropriate usage of the term. "Endgame" is defined as the final stage of game. Currently, this is Alphascape V4.0 (Savage). If you're not there, you're not at endgame.

So let me ask you this... if you could do o12s with a level 1 character without ever having to do any lead up to it and then level to 70 would you still call it "end" game?

That's... Not a very good analogy. I'm not sure the game would allow you to take a level 1 character into o12s.. But even if it did, it doesn't change the definition of "end game" as we commonly use the term. It would just be an anomaly, and everyone knows there's no way a lv1 is legitimately beating o12s..

BLU can have it's own "end game", i.e. it's own stopping point, but that shouldn't be confused with the "end game" content of FFXIV. If anything I'm surprised no one has yet to mention normal modes being just as fitting for this definition as savage is.. I can't really disagree with that, but again, having different difficulty levels of "end game" doesn't change it's definition. As an aside, I wouldn't classify UCOB or UWU as "end game" necessarily, mainly since it's based on old end game content, it's really just an optional challenge.
