Don't like Blue Mage? Here is how to convince SE to change it...

It's the restrictions to content. That's it. That's literally it. Everything else about BLU is liked except for that.

Which is exactly why I'm asking would there be a need for those restrictions if matchmaking/duty finder was designed differently. For example, BLU can't access anything outside of a pre-made party. What if there were two forms of duty/raid finder? One for those that want to run the normal predetermined Tank/DPS/Healer and then a free form one where players can run whatever class/job they want minus the negatives that one would get from doing the same in an undersized party. This way, BLU could still run the content without those restrictions. Freeform DF/RF would probably even alleviate those long queue times when you just can't get a tank or healer. Like I said in another thread, while I agree with their first stance on BLU being included in raids and duty finder content, I can't agree with the second when you can summon Odin in Heaven on High and one shot bosses. Worst case scenario...you get stuck in a group with no healers or tanks. But that could even be alleviated if they just did it like pvp where you can change classes on the fly.

It's like what I said in one thread, the devs have worked their way into a corner with the way the game has been designed and are now trying to find a way out. Just like housing (which is a whole other mess of an issue) if they were to take down housing and redesign it, no matter what they do, people would be pissed because it's something that they worked hard for. People have become accustomed to how somethings in the game work and changing will in someway have a negative effect.

It seems like you are defending the current concept of BLU because you don't like the holy trinity. And if that is the case, why play a game based on the Trinity? And to add to that, when did the live letter ever say that BLU will break this trinity? Why not just introduce the logos system to the open world/premade parties for ARR content instead? That way every job can be flexed into every role and BLU doesn't have to be sacrificed for it.
