I am also in the same boat, I never even thought of it as a job just side content and I do think that was the largest mistake SE made they called it Blue Mage and refereed to it as a job.
Hence the term 'limited'. The Blue Mage gets a special environment to play with, while facing a restriction of being able to attend regular duties of any kind.

Honestly, though: You can't balance the Blue Mage in a mmo environment like this one if it wants to stay true to its nature and identity. 'Maining' the blue mage sounds weird to me because of that.
I mean, sure, I'll level it simply to keep everything on max. But playing it will simmer down to "I got some time to spare, so lets level this job up/do a few challenges".
