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

[Burningskull]

Here's the thing though, they can't please everyone. No matter how many wannabe smart people are saying that SE is lazy, or "they could have done X, Y, Z!". You will ALWAYS have people complaining.
And if you think that they are not trying to please as much people as possible, then you are delusional, because they obviously do.

It's a theme park MMORPG. Different content is made to appeal to a different type of players all the time. And this time, BLU wasn't made to please your type. That's it. Just deal with it. You're free to ask for more, but don't become entitled, because nobody is. "BLU mains" are no exception.

BLU is a JOB. A Battle Class Job. No battle class job should be relegated to side content when the 80-90% of the game is about battle related content. If BLU was some form of crafter or gatherer no one would blink an eye at this being side content. What about summoner? It's NOTHING like what a summoner use to be. Should it be reworked and made into a limited job? Look at how they did RDM. It was great they way they worked it in. I never would have thought RDM would have a balancing act between White and Black Mana to empower melee attacks. They could have found some way to incorporate learning skills from mobs, and giving it a mechanic to keep the job interesting, while making it a real job.

No. BLU is a Limited Job. There's a reason they didn't simply call it a "Job". Words have meanings.

No battle class job should be relegated to side content when the 80-90% of the game is about battle related content.

A Job and a Limited Job don't do the same things. And there's no rule saying that SE cannot create Limited Jobs. Besides, you have absolutly no authority in saying what a playable class can or cannot do.

If BLU was some form of crafter or gatherer no one would blink an eye at this being side content.

Wrong. Some people would complain. There are ALWAYS some people complaining.

What about summoner? It's NOTHING like what a summoner use to be. Should it be reworked and made into a limited job?

Nobody is talking about a rework. BLU isn't a rework. But yes, some people do think that SMN may have been a good contenter to be a Limited Job, if it wasn't already in the game as it is.

Look at how they did RDM. It was great they way they worked it in. I never would have thought RDM would have a balancing act between White and Black Mana to empower melee attacks.

Yes, RDM does plays well. But it has objectively lost a lot of its iconic identity and toolkit in order to fit the mold. FFXIV's Red Mage is it's own thing. Nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't mean that BLU -or any other FF Class/Job- has to follow the same pattern.

They could have found some way to incorporate learning skills from mobs, and giving it a mechanic to keep the job interesting, while making it a real job.

Could they? Probably. Did they want to? Obviously not. Possible doesn't mean desirable. And if you don't respect their creative freedom and their right to do whatever the heck they want to do with their game and their franchise, then you might as well quit right now. You are not entitled to anything, you do not work for them, and you have no authority to tell them what they can do or not.
