Please make Blue Mage a normal job

[MaraD_]

Hope in one hand

Its not hope, but despair.

Aren't you optimistic...

You should be directing that at me, since the REASON I think BLU will eventually be a full job, is because im pessimistic. All MMOs come to an end, eventually. And I know its the absolute best option available, when the game starts doing worse/going down hill, and they dont have the resources to pump into the game anymore, but want to reveal a "brand new shiny job" into a dying game, in hopes of getting the most out of very little.

I prefer the term, Realistic.
But please, do carry on hoping for something that will never come and continue to be dissapointed with every update to the BLU side content.

Nah, I think my above scenario is more likely to play out than not. The only issue being how long we have to wait for the game to really be hurting/dying, and if SE doesnt decide to surprise us sooner. (I doubt that)

SE does this~

SE has done both. SE could treat it as a new job, as it drastically effects other jobs. They could also treat it like a job balance issue. Some have been announced vaguely, in hopes to make ppl not mad, but left vague. Sometimes they announce planned adjustments in detail way in advance. Sometimes the day of the patch we find out in patch notes, w/o even a single mention. And sometimes, we find out with live letters/fan fests, such as the simplification changes to tanks/healers.

It really can go many ways.
