Blue mage and why I like the idea

[MeowingKittens]

Tell me again how a job we were never promised to begin with, whose restricted status was told to us AT REVEAL, somehow ruins what the game already has to offer you right now. They are under no obligation to make every job playable at end game, nor do they need to add a job cause you've been asking for years.

Even if Blu was raid ready, there would be no telling if it would actually be GOOD, and people were planning on maining it? Really? Talk about counting your chickens. This is the same community who blindly follows META and no DUPES, locks BLM and SAM out of PF, and then complains about it. What makes you think Blue wouldn't also suffer from that kind of fate, at least for the first few months?

It's fine to be disappointed. It's fine to EXPRESS that disappointment. What I am against is the people making demands that it IMMEDIATELY CHANGE THIS IS THE WORST EVER OMG. We haven't tried it yet. Maybe it's a not a job for you. There's 26 others already in the game. Having one not liked by a bunch of people is an inevitability. If you're not going to be willing to give it a try and give ACTUAL constructive feedback, then that shows you're not not so much upset about them trying something new that's just not your thing, you're upset that Blu wasn't what YOU wanted it to be.

26? There's 15 combat jobs currently and at least two more on the way but they don't use enemy abilities. Unless the yet to be announced 5.0 job is blue mage which I think we can say isn't happening.

It can diminish the enjoyment of the game for some of us that were waiting to one day main blue mage. For some it probably does actually ruin the game to not be able to and the limited job concept makes others like myself weary of the future of the game.

They are under no obligation to make every job playable at endgame but it's pretty silly not to make every combat job be for everyone. Same as it would be silly to have a DoH/L that can't interact with the gathering/crafting side of the game fully.

There are not many that are demanding that limited blu be changed NOW. There are definitely a lot more of us saying we understand that it's not possible to change it before 5.0 releases and are fine with waiting till the next expac. We don't need to try it out first to know that we will never be fine with the limitations and that a concept of making jobs targeting only portions of the player base is a bad idea. Jobs should be for everyone to use in the content of their choosing.
