Blue Mage: Are you kidding me!?

[Mithia]

Hmmm, not sure why you are replying to me to say these things. I was just trying to clarify what the other poster was saying. Well what I thought they were trying to say.

I think this whole DF argument is silly. If people really have such a phobia about this then make PF groups. I'm not unsympathetic to people with fear of whatever but from my point of view, someone with multiple sclerosis and an anxiety disorder with panic attacks that can make my MS act up even more, the PF is a solution. It's not the best solution I'd admit but they could restrict queuing up until you have learned "x,y, and z spells" at various level ranges or do achievements for a level range "learn all level 21-25 spells". We don't know if there are level requirements to learn spells yet but would it be awful if they did?

As for the rest of your post, they could do this thing called balancing. Maybe, just maybe, that would work.

The problem is the class is designed towards grinding creature X for a while to learn its monster skill, if BLU goes into DF they would ask 3 other people to slow down to "help" them obtain a certain skill. And in ARR content you pretty much just melt mobs mind. Hence it can be both frustrating for the party and BLU, even going to the point of just leaving after the required monsters are all dead or asking to be kicked. This would happen, people want it all the "fast" way. It would simply create unnecessary drama and taxation's on players that just want to get their roulette done, which can all be avoided by locking the BLU mage out of dungeon finder and forcing them into PF so people know what they are going to join for.

And lvl 50 max BLU mage in DF would simply become like a swarm of locusts, you'd rarely get an instance from SB or HW.

The entire argument of "its my favorite class, I always dreamed of going into DF with it and raid endgame with my friends"... is just ugh, please, its free content you are receiving. Take it, enjoy it, don't act like the sky is falling. There is no need to compromise at this point since you don't know how it will play out.

There will be players who will enjoy this content even if it never catches up to max level. Just like with Eureka. If this kind of content doesn't appeal to you, well honestly try something different or go play BLU in a previous installment of the FF series where it was as you envisioned it to be.
