This isn't a beta test, this isn't some "preview" of a job, this is what Blue Mage is and what it will continue to be, unless it receives a major overhaul, which doesnt sound likely based on what the devs have said about. So 5.0 is around the corner. We get BLU cap raised to 60 and a slew of new abilities, some new fights in the carnivale, then what? It will be in the exact same position as it is now, because that is what the devs have told us will happen.

I've completed the carnivale and have all but 4 abilities (primal drop rate sucks), I have essentially completed the content, and I can comfortably say that it was a massive waste of resources and time that should have been spent on other things. I wish that it could be remade into a fully fledged job in the near future, but I also don't have my head buried in the sand and know it won't happen. FF14 devs are stubborn. This is BLU, and it's here to stay.

While I'm at it, and this is directed at everyone, stop using "this is just a preview/beta, it can get better", because it isn't, it never was.
