No discussion on fixing Blu?????

I realize that doesn't entirely answer your question, so I will give you the scenario where he says what you quoted and it translates to "We are working to evolve BLU into something that is more akin to what players want". Even if all he meant was "we hear your feedback", what players see is "BLU becoming mainline job confirmed". That's a dangerous and reckless thing for a developer to do, especially when they have no scheduled roadmap for implementing the extensive feedback received at present.

And people get bitter when you don't hear anything. At all.

Which is why they only have to say "We have heard your feedback."

They've already severely dropped the ball in terms of conveyance in what Blue Mage currently is and what it was previewed as.
