Did the devs lie to us? Either actually make BLU OP, or unlock it

I don't think I mind at this point if they prioritize something else if that is the direction you are going with your logic. I don't think people should put up with that kind of fearmongering either.

I'm just trying to be realistic, not make any kind of fearmongering. "What Blue Mage should be" is something a lot of people have strong opinions on. Regardless, there will be people disappointed or disatisfied or feeling their expectations were not met, but if they're going to make more people happy, there's room for them to be able to make some of these ideas an expectations work together, even if something along the lines of what I've suggested is not what they go for. If they're only trying to please a small group of people, then they're simply not going to give it as much attention as they might otherwise have done because they have to be conscious about how they spend their resources. And to me, it'd be daft to only please a small group of people for a job that was so highly demanded. What exactly is wrong with trying to find a way for Blue Mage to work for more people?

It really should have really rejuvenated old content but it fell flat.

Yet only a few posts ago, you called the idea of doing this "mediocre".

But I'm not sure what your argument is beyond "they failed to deliver on their promises". I don't disagree, whilst I was not left with the exact same impression as you, but I can certainly see how SE got this wrong.
You want them to deliver on their promises. That's perfectly reasonable.
So I suggest they deliver on Blue Mage using parties instanced duties for their progression. I suggest we revitalise old content to accommodate this instead of relying on leech parties.
And I suggest they add more to Masked Carnivale and some ways it could be kept relevent. So that there is more solo content available to BLU as it's built around MC.
And I suggest they add some of those primal fights to the Masked Carnivale to deliver on the expectation of being able to solo primals.
You agree it'd increase the longevity of content, but it'd be too mediocre.
You persist with the argument that the job was missold to you.
Now you say they should have rejuvenated old content. Great, and I agree wholeheartedly, as I've already suggested they do this, which you said was mediocre, so perhaps you can understand my confusion.

I can understand perhaps why you'd disagree with the methods I suggest or think there are better or more fun ways of doing it; even I admitted they're not well fleshed out. Heck, I'm welcome to improvements on the idea or alternative/better ways of achieving the same goal.
