Blue mage and why I like the idea

[SDaemon]

If you support BLU as is then you're already supporting something that makes a lot of people unhappy so I don't see the difference.

You can't see the difference between 1. Either supporting the design or wanting it to be changed and 2. Wishing for whichever design actually ends up becoming a reality to crash and burn? Honestly!? The first situation is practical and appropriate while the other is childishly spiteful.

No, I don't. It's not a matter of spite. It's a matter of believing that limited jobs will worsen the game as a whole and not wanting to see it swallow up developer time, effort, and money to produce jobs that are a shell of what they could be. So yes, I support the crashing and burning of limited jobs if it means no one ever has to worry about their favorite job being relegated to minigame content ever again.

Voice your opinion for it to be changed to your liking but once you start wishing for it to crash and burn because other people are enjoying it and you didn't get your way you've effectively become a spiteful child.

I disagree. But your opinion of me also means very little.

Wasn't really looking to help you grow up, so it's not a problem to me. Regardless if BLU does end up being changed I hope it proves successful and you have fun with it. If stays as is, despite your childishness, I'll still have fun with it.

You clearly don't understand what it is to be childish, because if you did, you'd recognize that you are the exact same. For many people, BLU as it currently is designed ruined the job. As it stands, it is crashing and burning for them. You're happy with that apparently, since you support it. By your own logic you too are childish. But I suppose a childish person wouldn't be able to recognize that after all.

I digress, you have no real argument so I'll move onto someone who does.

Sure you would, until the moment you realize that Blue Mage would not be resurrected. It would remain a failed experiment, the job abandoned forever after.

Personally, I see some great times ahead for those who prefer to test their personal gaming skills, their ability to apply strategy in a fixed arena.

I see pre-made parties who weren't playing FFXIV in 2014/2015 finally working on the Coils of Bahamut - at level, synced.

I see an opportunity to display some pretty iconic gear while role playing.

I seen an opportunity to do more than spend 12 minutes in an instance pressing 1-2-3-4 over and over again.

I see a LIMITED job with UNLIMITED potential to do more in this game than craft and raid.

And that is good.

Nothing of what you listed here is restricted to BLU, you realize that, right? Literally the only unique content that BLU gets is the carnival, and as described, it's just a bunch of boss fights except you fight them alone instead of with a group. How long do you think that'll last for, exactly? Do you think that'll be an hour long affair or something?

And you realize that, while the first iteration of blue mage is limited to level 50 and no matched instances, they also indicated future levels and future content?

You realize that the naysayers are in arms, not because there's a brand new concept in game, but because their oh-so-desired 'main' can't engage in all of the content at release?

You realize that this currently limited job is going to be introduced into the game at the end of this expansion, when any and all new content is welcome? And that it might not be so limited once SE has data showing how it plays out in 'set party instances'?

Get back to me when you actually do all of that content in an hour.
