Suggesting Ideas for Blue Mage with feedback & Removing Limited Job Status

[Seraphor]

It is absolutely not an ultimate level accomplishment, on the whole from everyone i have spoken to who have the morbol mount, the consensus is that overall its easier than savage with the exception of brute justice who is just savage tier hard.

Morbol mount is the only real metric or success we can use. Number leveled to 60 doesnt mean anythin when it literally takes 20 mins to go from 50 to 60, you could go off cute justice minion (5%) but you dont need to do anything but reach level 60 and do job quests to get that. Unfortunately we have no other data to work with, so morbol gives a good idea of engagement as it is the culmination of engagement with the class.

See everyone I know, including those who love BLU, wrote off the Morbol mount the second they found out the requirements.
So like I said, it's a poor metric.
BLU also appeals more to casual players, so they're not as likely to want to attempt savage with it.
Plus it is side content, there's no way you can expect the clear rate of Savage BLU to compare to regular Savage.

Completing the job quests isn't that bad a metric, that requires you beat the final round of the Masked Carnivale, as does obtaining all BLU spells.
Or the Blue Mage log, there are achievements for completing 20 and 50 of them, is also a decent metric.
If someone has got those, then they've pretty much exhausted BLU content short of the savage fights (Not everyone is prepared to do savage, regardless of the job) which means they've completed the content as it stands, so... what else do you want from them?

If you still consider it a failure, what would make it not a failure exactly? In its current form, what are the requirements to show that it's succeeded?
5% uptake?
Considering we nearly have 20 jobs now, that's in the ballpark of how many people would 'main' any one job.

Unfortunately the things you mentioned does not have any published stats on or I would be quoting those, at least i havent found stats on it. Also again im loathe to include job quests as again going from 50-60 and doing the job quests can be done in like an hour, but some might consider that engaging with it but I wouldnt probably a personal thing.

On your point of maining however, sure only 5% would "main" it but many more would also use it for roulletes, or 24 mans or reclears or anything else that would have people use more jobs. This would certainly be vastly more than 5%, and would be more use of the job as a whole than it currently has, at least for me.
