FFXIV: Limited Job and why it doesn't work

[Theodric]

I'm torn, really.

I like a lot about BLU. To me, it's more of a fun mini-game than an actual job. Basically the equivalent of Blitzball - something to do in downtime and in between other bits of content.

In theory.

In practice? Unless you push yourself to get groups immediately you're usually out of luck and struggle to find anything after the initial launch period. It's hard enough for many of us to piece together a group for something like POTD or HOH, let alone gather seven other players who are able to not only complete Savage content but do so as a group of BLU.

Yes, there's Discord servers where you can supposedly find groups, though once the novelty wears off it's hard to find a group through that method as well.

Ignoring anyone else's issues with the job, what do you think it needs? I feel if, the issue you mentioned, participation wasn't so hard to get past FOTM (maybe only flavor of the week depending on what else came out), that the job would be doing better. Of course I might knit pick skill designs or whatever (specifically 1 - 50), but ignoring that stuff ... From perspective of someone who likes the job as it is.. anything it needs or can help it?

Also congrats on the seventh medal, you're now our lord and savior.
