I still use it spawn the Outer La Noscea S rank and the Amh Araeng one (Which actually requires it).

But that's pretty much it.

Exactly this. Will probably take all of an hour to level up to 60 then never touch again.

From this we can presume that one of 2 things should happen:

1. Blue Mage sees a re-work into a normal and functional job.

Or

2. Blue Mage is straight up removed from the game.

As much as it pains me to say it, 2 seems more likely to happen than 1. What will probably actually happen is that the dev team will see no one is playing it so they'll just stop doing stuff for it. I mean, they never even increased the action drop rates since Blue Mage launched if that gives anyone any idea of how half-assed the idea of Limited Job(s) even is.

Its one thing to appreciate something taking a different angle but its another when the voice for change has been consistently given and ignored.

I don't think is going to be removed at any point. Probably SE is going to finish whatever they were working on and if the numbers keep being so bad BLU will be discontinued.

Just to put this into perspective. More characters on Aether (before the DC split) cleared Savage than characters on JP leveled Blue Mage to 50.

SE:



Seriously though, those numbers are quite a statement if they are indeed accurate.
