Blue Mage is Destroying the fates fun

[Jojoya]

So how would you even level the job even? Force them not to follow your little FATE train that bloats the whole zone's FATEs to a point it takes 5 minutes to finish them with 30 people and instead make them kill mobs in a zone?

If this was the case, you people would be crying that BLUs are stealing your overworld mobs you have to kill for crafting mats and then you'd demand SE to make BLU have a massive disadvantage on damage against those.

To level my BLU I did exactly what SE told us to do - kill random open world mobs. Why the heck would I spend a two hours grinding FATEs to gain a single level when I could (and did) do it in 10 minutes leveling the way we were intended to level them? When I mention there's an XP buff to BLU for killling open world mobs, that's an understatement if anything. It's a HUGE XP buff. I went 60-70 in 2 hours by starting in Yanxia then moving to Lochs. Give it a try if you're still leveling BLU.

Anyone who has been FATE grinding to level BLU has done themselves a major disservice.

I rarely farm mobs for crafting materials myself. I buy what's already listed on the MB or send my retainers after the materials. Let those trying to level BLU or any other jobs kill those mobs if they want and earn a bit of gil while they're at it.

Somehow I think you and others missed the memo on how BLU is designed to work.
