    No one I've found, including myself if I'm being honest, really wants to do old content, for no real reward. It just feels redundant, as the job was built to be played solo, in the masked carnival, and to only release 5 stages that take such little effort to beat is a big bummer as were unlikely to get anymore end game content for blue mages for a long time.
    I don't know what your data center is like but here on Primal, BLU was extremely popular for a long time.

    The issue you have right now is your decided to do all this content 2 days before 5.2, when the game is at its biggest lull. Of course you won't get anywhere

    Extremely popular is a bit of a stretch, the far right column is the number of people on each datacenter who have gotten the morbal mount, obviously this not counting people who are running other content but for perspective in the best cases BLU has had Half as many people clear it on some datacenters than have cleared ultimate or in some cases <1% of the active datacenter population.

    As someone on EU Light I see maybe 1 maybe 2 PFs fill a day for BLU content if youre lucky, and if you arn't queuing with the BLU discord at their time your pf basically wont fill for weekly target. Some of the active members there even estimated it takes 6+ hours for pfs to fill on average. It has been this way for over a month.

    I wasn't talking about the morbol amount, I was referring to how active BLU Mage content in general was in the PF. There were, and still are, parties for extreme primals, raids, dungeon runs for spells, and for BLU log completion. Instead of looking at the numbers for the morbol mount, try looking at the numbers for the cute justice minion or the lvl 60 weapon, and you will find that the amount of people farming allied seals from BLU is much higher (trust me, they aren't farming ARR hunts instead)

    Unfortunatly data doesn't exist to check those minions and such. I'll have to take your word for it as to how alive it is over there, but over here and on other datacenters its functionally dead in pf. I've also not known anyone in all my years who farms allied seals but im sure they exist

    Well yeah, right now it is dead, 2 days before a major patch. That's to be expected of any content. That's just the lull period that we endure at the end of every odd numbered patch.

    I did my weekly log on Tuesday and it was quick to fill, but thats just anecdotal, take from it what you want. The PF right now is mostly edensverse and cinder drift, so I wouldn't say that the 5.2 patch shift is any less than it was last week.

    That's not really a good way of checking blue mage progress, I had both the weapon and the minion the moment I had the option to buy them. I've been capped on allied seals for a very long time, and will be again before blue mage has more allied seal options

    Is there a way to see that thread in English? I can't read Japanese and I'm curious what the rest of those numbers mean.

    In case you are still curious: The table columns from left to right:
    Region, Data Center, Active, The Feast for 200 victories (for Gloria Ignition key), 100 Fields of Glory victories, 100 Frontline (roulette) victories reward, 200 Frontline victories, 100 Rival Wing victories, 100 Hidden Gorge victories, 100 onsal hakair victories, Blue Mage log (I think the full log completion for Morbol mount).

    The text below the table is just an explanation of the abbreviations used in the table.
