Once I get blue to 50 I'm done. I'm not gonna bother with any other spells since it's obvious that this was another attempt to recreate ffxi in ffxiv when no one asked for it. If 11 is such an asset to SE then just allocate resources to either update or reboot 11 proper. Stop wasting our time with mechanics that don't belong in 12.
I gave Eureka a chance. I wanted to like it but I honestly hate it. Krile and the relic are literally the only reason's I even tolerate doing it.
Blue has become more of the same sadly. Non stop Acorn Bomb and 1k Needles. "enjoy the world we've built" yeah sure because preventing things like side quests from giving good exp is totally a way to let players immerse themselves in the game. I wanted to believe that blue had potential but having done some extensive grinding with little to no reward I have to say that both Blue and Eureka have been extensive wastes of resources that could and should have allocated towards main content like dungeon's and ult content.
Heck SE could have taken all the funds from Eureka and actually made Blue a real dps class that was centered around getting it's bread and butter spells from unique and powerful monsters like how summoner was with it's egi.
EDIT: after writing this I realized blue's story isn't even worth the trouble. I won't spoil it for anyone but let it be said that I have some very strong issues with how the story is being told.

Not even close to being done yet and still having fun with it. My friends and I got to around level 30 between us all and got all the open world spells unlocked. Were not pushing it and the rest will come in time but were still enjoying it.
I'm not :P
I just need Leviathan, Ramuh and Titan to finish my spells, but spent hours doing the last 2 and nothing happened. Finished the Carnivale as well. I didn't wanted to make any opinion until I actually played the class, but after all that and the "solo-non-solo" content, I'm done with this trash. Will get those spells when they fix the drop rate. I ain't throwing more time to the trash can for it.
I'm finished leveling it, for now, I've yet to start grabbing skills for the job on either of my characters, and I'm waiting for there to be a point to the solo content portion aside from Allied Seals, for which I see no use, personally. Well, I mean outside of what I earn from weekly hunts already, because of aetheryte tickets (and a sliver of bonus gil). It doesn't help that I'm not subbed right now, but that's an aside to the little use or legitimate fun I'm having with the job. When I come back I don't see myself hurrying to put any work into BLU, "Skinner Box" the class or no.
Leveled my chocobo up to rank 20 and quit playing it over the weekend. Don't plan on playing it any further unless they lock a mount I want behind it or something in the future.
Let's see...
Lv.50
130 Geared
49/49 Spells
25/25 Masked Carnival
3/3 special Carnival completion condition achievements.
Yep. Definitely done. My Blue Mage is shelved until it gets updated again. It's not even worth taking for Wonder Tails content compared to one of my 70's, so, yeah. That was my minimum expectation for how powerful Blue Mage should be at Level 50. Comparable to a Lv.70 unsynced in Lv.50 content. At the very least making it worth taking into WT's in the PF.
Greetings and salutations, adventurers.
I got BLu to 50, completed the Masked Carnivale, got 2/3 achievements (missing Perfect Blue - auto attack keeps preventing me =_=), and missing 4 spells (Mountain Buster, Veil, Look and Snort).
Husband is under the impression that BLU is being unfairly compared to higher level jobs at higher levels/ilevels and not compared to them when they were level 50. Especially with how incomplete BLU feels. He says there's no reason to make the class be able to one shot the bosses or dungeons - what would the class bring then? It'd be no different than the other jobs currently sitting at 70 (to which I conceded his point). The Japanese players are definitely being more 'fair' from what we've read.
To me, I feel I was mislead ('designed for solo content' I did not take to mean level only through open world and only for Masked Carnivale) and could at least do level 50 dungeons solo (maybe not primals). Or at least a whole party of BLU could do primals and dungeons, but even that is not possible.
