You don't play ANYTHING in Duty Finder. You find party through Duty Finder. Duty Finder IS NOT CONTENT. It's an algorithm for matchmaking.

You can play Shiva through pre-made parties and I assume that Solo through Undersized Party option is possible as well.

Because that's how much they managed to do up till now. They have resource and time constraints. If they'd try to push it further then everything else would suffer. In those 50 levels it's got more stuff to design and program than a normal lvl70 does.

They'll be used for dungeons and trials too though...Also, not farm FATE's but normal mobs. And I will actually want to do that. If they will increase the experience to a reasonable level of course, something comparable to what it is in like-leveled dungeons. I do come from old-fashioned RPG's after all and I missed the fast-dying overworld enemies grind. No, Eureka doesn't count. The mobs there are not "overworld enemies", they are "dungeon enemies". But they give "overworld enemies" experience. In the time you kill one, you should have been able to kill four or five.

You need to finish the entire story from A Realm Reborn. It cannot be taken as your starting class.

Please realize what you are saying here. You are complaining that you can't take Blue Mage and play the content. And there are others that do that. And...these people are saying that Blue Mage shouldn't have been implemented at all.

So you are saying that you prefer to be forced into another class for ALL content, instead of SOME content. That's illogical no matter how I look at it. I prefer to play what I like in some stuff than no stuff. I don't know, maybe I'm just the weird sort that prefers to be half-sated than starving, even though I'd prefer to be sated fully?!
