It should be a long-term goal to make Blue Mage a real job

There was also a pandemic, so...

Pandemic didn't stop male bunny boys from happening and that probably required more work than a new level 1-50 Limited job, or Ultimate, or fixing current Viera and Hrothgar, or a lot of other more requested features.

Pandemic limited the amount of content we could get. Devs then decided to give more priority to certain stuff over other to please a vocal and loud minority.
