Broken expectations.

We see rage thread, we see unsub thread, we see job reworking suggestion thread...
all about a piece of content that hasn't even been released.
People spent last months datamining every patch, each and every one building its own perfect fantasy of what a BLU should be.
It was more than obvious that SE was going to have a hard time pleasing everybody...

Consider this :

SE didn't have to do it - YoshiP even was asked about BLU in the past, and he clearly said that knowing how BLU worked in previous FF, it would be hard to adapt it to a ffxiv job.
So I believe they did BLU the way they did it so that it would call to hardcore FF fans, by staying true to its nature. It wasn't aimed at raid fans, who already have plenty of combat class available - and will get even more with Shadowbringers (my guess is 2 : Gunblader/tank, and Dancer/healer)

It's still a work in progress.
If it works well, who knows what the 4.5 BLU will evolve into. Don't complain as if BLU was doomed to stay the way it is forever. It's not Shadowbringers content yet... it's just a Stormblood patch. It will evolve as announced by YoshiP. So wait for 4.5, then play BLU, actually get your hands on it and play it for real : and then... well many will still complain, so go on

People also complain about monotony : it's always the same thing every patch, 4 boss, a dungeon, more MSQ... HoH is just PotD, Eureka is just Diadem....
Now we get something completely new... I won't say it's an innovation in itself, since BLU mechs have been there for a while, but they're bringing something new, at least in ffxiv. When people just spit at any new idea the devs offer us, it makes me wonder if those people really know what they want... So once in a while you want something different from raid, dungeons, trials... What is it ? What better things could the dev spend their time on ?

And people say it's solo content in a mmo game. Yes, no raid or matchmaking, but you run dungeons with a premade right ? So just get in PF (guess it should work) or get some friends to play with you!
Don't you guys have guilds ?
