What is the reason we can not run Blue Mage with Squad again?

[Ekimmak]

I think it's a coding limitation, that they had to blanket ban it from content, and this was just an unfortunate victim.

Still stupid as hell, and should be changed. But what can you do?

Or it's just because allowing it day 1 would mean a ton of people taking up their own solo instances causing server strain.

I get not letting them into dutyfinder, but I think it's silly you can't do it with squad. Just make blu slot in as a dps for it, problem solved. It's solo content so it doesn't hold anyone back if a blu goes in unprepared.

Exactly. Its solo. Does not effect anyone

A ton of people taking up an instance each does affect others though. Servers can only handle so much before it gets laggy.

Quoted for truth. Ask the survivors of Raubahn(savage) and Pipin(extreme) how they feel about too many people using solo instances at once.
