The light switch gives you something towards relic weapon.Something you are suppsoed to grind to obtain.
They are 2 completly different things.

If it was having a huge negative efect on the game i'd be against it too but its not and people are just raging now on forums because devs arent gonna ban all those players that other salty blues were trying to get punished.

This is simply untrue, Blue Mage carnival is a super easy way to get seals and has rendered Hunts immaterial as the carnival has weekly challenge bonuses for stages, and this is just the pre-expansion release of the character. They have already said limits will be increased after expansion, which means both blue mage level cap and the type of rewards from carnival will increase.

I also suspect they will add a weekly duty specific for blue mages either in next expansion or before it.

Is it?Because i find it very hard to believe that a lvl 50 blue mage with just water cannon can clear most the carnivale content.Levling doesnt give you spells it only gives you the extra actions like swiftcast etc..You clearly play the job so i'd hope you know this.
Infact they cant even enter carnivale with just water cannon because you need to gain certain spells just to finish story to access it.You also need to aqquire 10 spells to get white wind,Otherwise you cant heal yourself .Does power leveling to lvl 50 suddenly gain you that?No.
They still have to do the exact same things everyone else has to do.The only difference here is a few hours saved grinding trash and thats it.
