You have all your abilities when level synced.

And even then they're only OP at lv 30 and lower.
There's many things that BLU did right. The Masked Carnivale is a welcome addition to the game, for instance.
Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]
I think the point is more "it doesn't give rewards at 70; why bother doing it?"
As much of a dig as this is at BLU, It was also a "I hope regular jobs get this someday."
I think it depends on your perspective. Of you view blue mage as a new type of content its great, but as the implementation of a actual new job...it leaves much to be desired.
The only 2 ways I see it going is: they either keep coming out with more blue mage content, additions to the carnivale with unique rewards (unique glamour for the more challenging fights would be a good start) or they eventually remove the limited aspect of the job, lift the group restrictions and give it a more coherent play style. I'm banking on the former happening tbh.
It's going to be updated over time and is much along the same lines as FSH. Not designed for everybody, but a fun challenge for those who enjoy such things. A classic side activity in an RPG. To pretend as if it doesn't give rewards is deceptive, too - it does. That you're not interested in those rewards is a different matter entirely. Even as someone who is actively involved in hunts, the allied seals are valuable to me as they pay for aetheryte tickets and ventures. Then, of course, there's the glamour rewards, achievement points and titles to consider.
I'm looking forward to seeing what other rewards we get in the future. Maybe orchestrion rolls for the battle music that plays in the arena?
