As an FFXI player, thank you for Limited Jobs and BLU SE

Wasnt out of no where, you have to read a bit more.

The guy basically tried to imply I was having unjustifiable fun, and should have more empathy for a very very small portion of the playerbase. The fact that most blue mage based threads are split down the middle is a true testament of its acceptance to me than anything. Most of the time the forum community bashes things to oblivion when actually most things go over well.

I personally have even been one to complain about XIV but overall its proven time and time again that its fun and enjoyable to the masses. Currently the game is set to have additional data centers added beyond not only having the UK data center opened, but an additional data center (Light) and the NA data center expanded (Crystal.) Which should be 100% proof that the game is expanding not failing....

The reason for bringing up raiding, is because the larger reason most players do not like blue mage is because it cannot do raids or other similar "end game." Go look at any other blue mage thread.... Also because I know for a fact that raiders make up most of the forum going community. Probably anywhere from 30%-50% if you want a number.





In the post you quoted... I responded to him saying how horrible BLU, XI, and "grinding" was, with saying that I am not in the minority and to support the minority on this topic would be an injustice.

I said I was having fun, and that was it. He essentially said I cant possibly justify having fun because clearly XI and BLU is horrible.

The only justification he can have for that is no one was playing it except me, which is the farthest from the truth. Thus why I said what I said.

You've draged raiding into this for no reason. Its nice that you have fun with a job that is basically just a mini game, but again that has nothing to do with raiding.
For me BLU is a waste of time because i can't play it where i want so i'm not even bothering to unlock it, which also has nothing to do with raiding at all.
