BLU MAGE...PATCH 5.1...HMMMMMM?

[Driavna]

Interesting information for an unverified census. Though I do have some questions and follow-up questions.
First one. The data goes back to last February, correct? A month or so after BLU was added in 4.5.1. Does the data take into account late adopters? Why not do a tally of the number of unlocked and completed BLUs after two months+ instead of barely a month?

Second question. What are the criteria for something to be considered "successful"? 100% adoption and completion rates? That's crazy. 80%? I don't think so. Does it have to compete completion wise with expansion jobs like SAM and RDM? Or given its status as side activity will have to be compared to other content like GS/Eureka/DoH/DoL? Apples and apples, and some such.

Third question. You touched on Savage. Something less than 10% of the entire base participates, let alone completes. By your conclusion regarding BLU, shouldn't they then focus on content that is more popular than something as niche and "poor performing" as Savage?

The data only tells me so much, but I'm missing context to put it all into perspective. And without that I'm only expressing my preconceived biases. And that just won't do.

I will say something about savage and ultimate: is recycled content from normal mode and old fights. I know there are a few differences here and there but I don't think can be compared, mainly because I'm pretty sure BLU was aimed to the general public while savage/ultimate is aimed to a very specific demographic.

I partially agree with you with regards to the different demographic Savage/Ultimate tries to appeal to, but it's not like SE actively tries to only reach the hardcore people. They have tried for a while to get the general populace to try Savage, especially now with Ultimate taking the crown of "Most Difficult Content" from Savage.
