Thank you SE for...

Except they did. You can try to defend it all you want but a picture is worth a thousand words.

Except when the next slide contradicts that... But let's ignore that and cherry pick only the convenient one.



And no one's doing synced dungeons to get XP so drop the "It's only partying up for levelling" argument

You're right, they're doing it because half their bloody kit is inside instances they can't solo.

Two things I'd like to say:
1. It can join parties. Yes. Ok. And? People use this slide to counter the "designed for solo" argument but they also said, clearly, that it was not designed for party play. Being able to join a party does not, in any way, shape or form, contradict the two points presented in the first slide. I can tank as BLM and heal as SMN; doesn't mean I'll be good at it or that the job was designed for it.
2. BLU joining parties is a necessity born out of their kit's distribution. Did you notice where they wrote the "forming parties" part? Under "BLU Progression". But it's not like the BLU in question is going to be able to carry their weight in there because their kit is not designed for anything outside of the Masked Carnivale

BLU is this monstrous hybrid of design, and in the worst possible sense. It was created to be carried.
