BLU for Duty Finder and Raids! Show your support!

The devs did in the Fanfest panel. They didn't call it 'lazy', but they described a situation whereas a BLU wouldn't have all the necessary spells for the content and be kicked from parties for it.

This wasn't the only reason they stated though, and the devs have this fear based on evidence. I call it the "DRK provoke" problem. If this was the only reason, you would have a case, but it's not. The devs also stated that certain skills would be overpowered/wouldnt work in a standard party setting, and the restriction is put in place so that BLU parties have the creative freedom to be BLUs while not spoiling the run for a random just running his roulette. The devs used the awful example of lvl 5 death on Omega, but a better example would be: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygUMAQr1Kxg

Yeah but we're debating that one right now :P

not spoiling the run for a random just running his roulette.

What about the WHM who hasn't done a single job quest since level 50 in the Vault? That sure ruined my run of the place as a tank. Double Standards, again.

A curse of their own design, and one I disagree with. I mean, you're not wrong. But then I can just say that I think they were wrong to give us all those skills in the first place. NOT TO MENTION - what's keeping people form using those griefing skills outside of dungeons? Just because BLU can't use matchmaking doesn't mean they can't bother other players. I've been in Eureka Pyros the other day and the boss just kept being pingponged around by people using various knockbacks. BLU has Sticky Tongue outside of instances too. The problem isn't putting it in an instance, it's putting it in the game in the first place.
