I was super excited for Blue Mage. Then they released this minigame garbage of a limited job. I support it being a full job as right now, it's quite literally useless. It's popularity died about a week after it was released. Nearly everyone has shelved this job and rarely does anyone even bother doing the Masked Carnival.

I originally came back to the game excited for the Blue Mage leaks. Then came the reveal and it was like a huge slap in the face. Quite literally EVERYONE I've spoken to is extremely upset at the outcome of Blue Mage. Nobody likes what has been done to it and just level it to 50 to get rid of it. I'm stuck in a situation now where nobody wants to even bother to get Blue Mage spells anymore. Why? Because it's pointless and nobody cares about the Masked Carnival.

What irks me the most is how they claimed this job was too OP to be a full time job. Yet it requires a group of people to carry you through Hard/Extreme versions of trials to get abilities that you COULDN'T NORMALLY DO at level 50 BLU. Why? Because most abilities and mechanics kill you in one shot.

So how is this meant to be a solo minigame job which still requires others to assist you? I don't understand at all the direction they went with this job.
