    The BLM rotation is quite simple but you're a turret, you can't move once you've opened fire, that's the deal. Pretty much all of what is mentioned in the OP is the difference between a good BLM and a bad one, a good one will move as little as possible and still not get hit by avoidable damage. A bad one will either eat all avoidable damage or run around interupting himself all day, there is a skill/knowledge to it and it just sounds to me like the OP hasn't learned that yet. It's also not fair to compare it to BRD as BLM does more damage, utility and movement are a BRD's unique strengths not firepower. No other casters can move while casting unless it's an instant spell, BLM should be no different.

    As for low level gear yeah some of it doesn't look that great but you spend so little time in it there is no point getting upset about it in my opinion, I'd rather the art department spent their time on more long lasting stuff to be honest.

    Most classes look silly low level also, looking like they have oven mitts and such.

    I figured I would reply to the rest of your points here.

    You CAN talk while you're on a mount. What the hell are you talking about? You CAN switch classes while you wait for a dungeon to come up. As for having the mount in your party for queueing for a dungeon, they already are working on this.

    Seriously though, what the hell do you mean you can't talk while you're on a mount?

I can run a bunch of low level dungeons, fates or guildleves but it's redundant because there is no real reward. I feel that if we could imply trade dungeon loot most of this would be fixed.
    What do you think the Gold Saucer is that they are working on? What about treasure maps and beast tribe quests? How about the new and upcoming information about "jumping puzzles" and Daily Hunts? They are doing all of this.

Whats even worse is they for some reason thought it was a good idea to map the menu and map button on the same button so when i get hit and it auto locks on to the jerkoff chasing me and i want to look at my map, i'll bring up an utterly useless menu and select attack when I should be looking at my map.
    While I understand how annoying it is to be agro'd, item level is not class level, it's not that big of a deal.

    What?! That's not at all what happens... If someone hits you, you auto-target to the person that hit you if you're not selecting anything else. It has nothing to do with locking on to something. I'm not sure if there's a setting to disable it, but, yeah... it has nothing to do with your map button, it happens whether your press the map button or not.

I'm sure I can run and still turn this piece of metal into confetti.
    I have no idea what you're talking about... you're probably lagging or something then.

    Based on your inability to play Black Mage properly, you're probably not any good at it, I would recommend playing something else. I bet you think there's no way to dodge Titan's landslide as a black mage other than moving out of the way.

    I really hope you're just misreading my points because some of your replies make absolutely no sense considering what I'm trying to pitch here.

    It's not about being a fanboy, it's about being sensible. I asked you what you meant about talking while on a Chocobo, you refuse to respond to me. You're acting like a child, it's annoying, just delete this topic.

    op you need to be a little more respectful to how you treat others here and in-game if you act like that on your server good luck on finding teams to do coil and ex primals with.

    some of these complaints are pretty petty and pointless.

    oh btw, press F to face target while you are casting to avoid cancelling your spells. Playing on a gamepad? look at your keybinds and change them accordingly.

    level your archer to 34 for quelling strike.

    learn to use aetherial manipulation for movement.

    1- Gear: Yes it is ugly, not much to do that and I bloody hate cowls. Thankfully vanity exists now so you have other options.

    2. Casting issues: I can't say much since I play WHM and not BLM. I just agree with you on casts falling on dead mobs or in my case dead people and therefore wasting abilities. The interruptions you just have to be very careful about, I get interruptions when I move my controller a bit and frankly its our fault. At times interruptions happen for no real reason or casts simply don't go off. Not sure if its a lag or latency issue or what.

    3. PvP just sucks: yes.

    5. Raiding completely sucks: No. Raids are supposed to be more complex than normal content and require everyone to fully understand their role. This is how raids happen.

    7. Allow us to talk while on a mount: I'm guessing you mean to NPCs? Yes please. I don't see auto-swap happening any time soon though.

    8. Increase content other than hard boss fights: how is trading dungeon loot going to fix this? Anyway as others mentioned you have tribe dailies, crafting and treasure hunting too

    9. Fix enemy aggro on maps: Its annoying as hell -.- For a very long time I refused to do dailies because they heavy debuff drove me mad

    I read somewhere that cures not sticking (guessing this applies to blm spells too) can be due to internet issues, since pretty much everything in the game is done server-side. So if you heal someone and the packet saying "cure x person" gets dropped en route to the server, no cure for you.
    The random not-moving, not touching any buttons interruptions are maddening though, I will give the OP that even if the rest of his points are pretty much just rambling nonsense.
