    Pretty much the consensus here is that we don't agree and I'm fine with that, but I will address your "cult recruiter" comment. I don't play PVP, I don't particularly like PVP, but I don't call PVP a waste of resources because I'm not particularly well informed about it. PVP has it's fan base, I doubt people would like it if I derailed PVP threads by commenting under people suggesting changes and additions "please no more PVP, we want that stuff for PVE". Same goes for crafting/gathering. I've made the comparison before between ALC and CHM, and how we haven't lost anything because our idea of CHM as a battle job has never even been hinted at in game.

    I'm not a cult recruiter, I'm a fan of BLU, like many many players that I have met in the PF. The content is active (of course not as active as it was, but there are many ways to fix (many of which I have complained about and voiced myself) that unrelated to the core of the content), and if you scroll through the thread you will see so many people (who haven't levelled the job) saying "limited jobs are a waste of time", thats not constructive, it doesn't help the content, and the best people can come up with is "its not a full job therefor its useless", which ultimately is a meaningless statement without directly talking about what BLU is, rather than what it isn't.

    As a side note, I'm honestly sad that you haven't tried it to 60, following your post and your opinion, I feel like the synced content at 60 and the BLU log is what you are looking for from the job, it does honestly feel like I'm playing ARR and Heavensward again, learning new strategies, and figuring out BLU as though it is a full job, yet something new to the game entirely. Yes there are things missing from the job, but the BLU log, while it seems like nothing at first, really shows the potential for the role. BLU can almost do its own version of everything that a "full" job can do, just in parallel with the base job system. If you are solely wanting BLU to participate in base job current content (lvl 80) then I'm sorry, but it doesn't make the content bad or unpopular at all. Preconceptions about what you want something to be are a dangerous, and often you should just (as respectfully as possible) suck it up and enjoy what you have rather than trying to force the game to change around what you personally want something to be (See those who complained that DRK wasn't a DPS, and those who complained that SAM wasn't a tank - seriously, people threatened to unsub over these).
