BLU for Duty Finder and Raids! Show your support!

It has a lot of apparent issues and people seem to just trust SE to do it right even though their track record is absolutely terrible.

Correct. As I recall, SE asked us to trust them with Lilies. And we all saw how that panned out.

Not to mention the people that think this is some sort of beta phase for the job. I listened to the live letter again and didn't hear anything about it being a test but plenty on how they have designed blue mage.

This is probably the end of the road

It's going to slow down then start again with the Dec live letter or sometime after the 4.5 patch. Probably won't be as big because there's already the people that left but there will be more waves of upset people and there will be those that love the idea.

When the dust has settled and people have decided how they feel about blu, SE is going to have to see make a decision. They will have to look at their numbers to see who is actually playing the content months after it's released, how many set it down after finishing and possibly unsubbed until the next content patch, and how many are upset (and boycotting the job or flat out usubbed). If they felt it was a net gain then they will continue with limited jobs or probably change course if it was barely a blip/hurt their sub count.

I'll be refusing to unlock the job. I have no need of a job I can't use in roulettes or 24man raids.

Just gonna kick this back up to the top, here.

Agreed. There's a lot of people woefully misinformed about this topic. They think a 'wait and see' approach is valid as though they have any intentions on changing the limited job design. That isn't going to happen without backlash.

Exactly then when they finally realize that the "beta phase" isn't happening the backlash will grow even more. Add in the people that don't even know what is going on with blue mage yet and there will definitely be a lot more angry people in the coming months.

I think most angry ppl are here at the forums. Reddit calmed down much sooner about the blu-topic.
There will most likely be some ppl complaining about the grind to get the actions but i think you underestimate the number of ppl who like such content and dont care about the job not being able to raid 70 content.

On the forum there are basically around 15-30 posters that dont like the BLU implementation and are posting the same reasonings into every Blu-Topic that is around, making it look like there is more "backlash" as there actually is.

And for the Topic: BLU can use Partyfinder!
Ppl make it sound as if blu could not participate in any grp content and thats just wrong.
Everyone of us has to see how under/overpowered Blu is to decide if its useful to let it go into dutyfinder or not.

Im looking forward to this new game-mode and we will see how it goes when its in the game and tested by the players.

Based on my own observations, the mods have been deleting BLU criticism topics under the pretense of them being 'spam'. So, no real surprise that it seems 'calm' as a result. Also reddit is not an efficient place to voice one's complaints anyway. The devs don't bother checking there.
