“2x job” instead of “limited job” ?

[SDaemon]

Won't be a DoM in the sense that it can't do the full range of content available to the current DoM classes/jobs.

I didn't say you said it but the argument that "they already have too much to work on and balance" and "they should just focus on the jobs that are in game now instead of adding new ones" have been put forth by others on your side. It was to counter the point of "don't use resources on blue mage for the full game". It looks like the way I put it caused a good amount of confusion so I apologize if you felt I was putting words in your mouth.

Not sure what that has to do with being categorized as a DoM, but yes BLU will have content it can and cannot do compared to the other DoM jobs.

The point of "don't use resources on BLU for the full game"? You mean my comment that it is unrealistic of SE to expend resources to make 2 versions of the same job?

So then it's not really a combat job to a lot of us.

The point is that I believe we both can agree that the people on my side saying that limited blu is a waste of resources are wrong. I don't think it's a waste of resources to add things to the game that players have been asking for. I don't agree with limited jobs as a concept and worry about the future of the game if they continue with the idea. I do not want the content to be removed and believe it could remain the same even if limited jobs as an idea is scrapped.

But just as it's wrong for people on my side to call what other players want a waste of resources, it will also be wrong for people on your side to call what we want a waste of resources.

I apologize, but I can't figure out where to draw that line in the sand and say "This is not really a combat job" given what we know about BLU and the fact that combat and engaging in combat is its primary means of game play interaction. It isn't a job like the other DoM jobs I can agree to that however, but I don't view that as a bad thing.

I can agree and understand that you and others want BLU to be implemented just as if it were any of the other jobs and while I don't desire that and will continue to voice my support of what is being given to us, I still feel you all should voice your opinions on here and I'll continue to do the same. Additionally, I am not calling what you want a waste of resources, rather I am calling the use of resources on BLU A and BLU B [This conceptual idea of having 2 fleshed out designed jobs called BLU] as something I can't see SE wasting resources on.

That's fine that you don't view it as a bad thing but plenty of us do. I wish that it didn't meant we have to be odds. Would like to see the sides come together so that our side can get what we want and reduce the risk of them not doing more solo content like this in the future due to the backlash. That we support each other in getting what we want AND not at the cost of the other side's request.

You might want to edit this "as something I can't see SE wasting resources on". I'm going to believe the first part of that statement and that the end was just a brain fart. Others might just see that end part and take your post the wrong way.

There are also plenty of people who are looking forward to it, but it is fine that you view is badly.

Why would I edit that? It is all part of a single statement that conveys I don't find a BLU similar to current jobs to be a waste of resources had they chosen to have made that instead or to, if it comes to be, that they redesign BLU into that, rather I find it unrealistic that SE will waste resources on designing, releasing and supporting 2 versions of BLU. If someone "takes that the wrong way" so be it, I suppose.
