Blue mage and why I like the idea

[jon041065]

I support the devs decision as well. You can't please everyone, and the devs know this. And I'd bet a years salary that the same people who are upset now, would also be upset if the devs compromised and gave us a ready-to-raid version of blue because it also would not meet their expectations. Except now, the players who are looking forward to this new feature would also be pissed off. Like this, the devs can make adjustments as they see fit without worrying about compromising balance with our current jobs. Plus, raiders are going to need something to do after they burn through the next tier, am I not correct?

You guys have been wanting them to try something new. So let them. Let's see where these BLU chips fall in the coming months.

You're correct on some things and wrong on the others.

Not everyone would be pleased with any given iteration, but it's wrong to say those of us that are upset would be just as upset with a "XIV" version of blu instead of the "FFV" version we are getting. We had accepted that, like all the other jobs, blu would have to give up some things to work in the game. Rdm was another job Yoshi had said wouldn't work and they made it work with a mostly positive reception. If the job wasn't quite what we wanted at first, then they could change it in patches and expacs like how smn has been getting better. It wouldn't be a "one and done" thing.

Many on our side don't want you to lose your side content but we don't see why there can't be a middle ground. The best solution that I've seen is two versions with different job crystals. You keep your version and we could get our's later. Probably 6.0 and a lot of us have said we would be fine with that.

Also, what's with this "raiders are going to need something to do after they burn through the next tier" as a reason against a full version of blu? A lot of us, raiders and non-raiders, wanted to have blu as our main in the FULL game.
