I posted about this on another topic but I feel like people in this game really like to connect with the job they main. They like to take a job, play it and, in a sense, "own it".

    How people connect with a job varies from person to person but I do feel like the MSQ forms the backbone of the game. I mean, there is so much that stems from it. I think that it should, at least, be accessible to people who want to call BLU their main. Now, I know there are people out there to whom this means very little. "If I can't raid, there's no point in maining it." or "if I can't do X or Y content, there's no point in maining it." and those are all valid stances to have. It's just that I see the MSQ as a sort of "basic right" that you oughta at least have access to if you really want to call it your main job. Personally, I would extend this freedom to dungeons, trials, and maybe normal mode raids. I judge these things to be inoffensive to those whose main concern is the bleeding edge of difficult content.

    That said, I feel like this fundamentally goes against what seems to be a very deliberate decision to make BLU more of a side-content activity rather than a job unto itself. I think their idea is for us to perhaps not even see it as a job... which, understandably, clashes with people's desire to see it as such and perhaps even main it.
    So long as BLU is level capped lower that the others it will always be a disjointed mess with the MSQ, requiring players to go back and level another job in order to continue the MSQ once they hit the BLU level wall. That issue is just going to compound to a larger gap in levels as time goes on. How is it really "maining" when you play it initially from the 2.1 story and then have to stop playing it to continue on, only to repeat that again and again while also having to periodically level another "main" in order to see the story further? If playing a job through the MSQ is the backbone of the game, BLU is a horribly broken backbone in that regard.

    Well, the level cap is obviously one of the restrictions I'm referring to. If you wanted to do the story with it, they'd have to allow BLU to reach the very end of it, that is, be allowed to reach level 80.
