Some people enjoy jumping puzzles and the Sightseeing Log. Some people enjoy grinding FATEs to get the max-level zone rewards. Some people enjoy BLU. To make it a "full" job would require nerfing it into the ground in a way that would destroy the very purpose behind it. It's okay if it's not something any of us personally enjoy; other people do. Please stop trying to take away from them.
    Long as the game dwindles it's main content cadence repeatedly over time, i'm not a huge fan of side content getting huge swathes of dev time, and as it stands, that's exactly what's happened since Stormblood. and Blue mage does take a huge amount of dev time for very little gain, if it was usable in more than Blue carnival and not just straight up worse at soloing most things due to it's lower max level (those stats do a hell of a lot more than gimmicky abilities do) i'd maybe consider it worth it's existence right now, as it stands, it's a waste, a complete and utter waste for a game that already seems to struggle to keep up with itself from 6 years ago, and that's a shame.


    Edit: And to anyone saying "you just want Blue to be a generic job!" no, i'd rather the devs actually break out of this stale, stagnant, frankly boring 2 minute half baked job meta and bring RPG elements back into this MMORPG instead of continually sanding off every rough edge until the game is so smooth you can't even press against it without sliding off, it's frankly embarrassing how we've lost any semblence of customization in an rpg outside of looks, and people still cheer that on. i want Every job to be more interesting, not to cull blue to their level. complete opposite.
