Very good and accurate feedback. I fully agree with you on almost all points.
I think we will get reraise at lvl 60. That one last dungeon-boss is standing up 3 times, but thats only my hope XD.

They probably should have released the next 10 lvls up to 60 before shb. 50 feels really low.

Overall i had much fun with blue mage. Especially running content with 4x or 8x blu is really good.
