Those who hold something dear to them and see it being shattered into pieces, there is not much else to do other than accepting it in defeatism or protest.
On a personal level, I cannot stand to see BLU like this, and it sapped my will to play greatly, knowing that it's useless at the moment and after reading the interviews, the job will forever have its handicaps and will never allow me to do the story, current content, etc. I would not like to see other people go through it either because of other jobs being treated like this.
So I'm more than content in leaving to protest, and support people's call for revisiting the "limited job" system or doing away with it, if I can, so that I may enjoy the game by playing BLU.

In regards to Shadowbringers, I'm just not impressed, which makes me leaving even easier.
Yes, it's most likely a lot of shit stirrers trying to cause drama. There are other posters who share a more personal and coherent criticism of the choices made. And I appreciate that, even if I don't personally agree with them.

I think it goes to how different people view topics like race and jobs so... differently. I understand your attachment to BLU and how disappointed you must feel that it's not a standard job. Whereas in my case, my favorite job being SMN (as in, from the entire FF franchise) and how I don't think of XIV's version captured that feeling the others had. And if it were to be turned as a limited job, I may even prefer it. If of course it satisfies that feeling I got from the past iterations and offers a lot of flavor and weirdness.

When it comes to the limited job system, I see it in another light. And we can sit here all day discussing these visions, but we will never agree. So I guess this is where we should leave things.

I wish you well in finding something that makes you happy.
