Deep dungeon for BLU only

[Kaurhz]

Snip.

But why would I farm for seals when I can do the exact same thing on a level 90 class solo? It takes barely any time to run through Ruby Sea and get everything I want for seals. Similarly, this is the case with hunts. I'm running hunts, and not only that they're multifaceted because you progress the relic simultaneously. - If I want poetics? Can just do Eureka or Bozja and get them handed to me like candy whilst making Gil. Everything that Blue Mage can do can be done outside of Blue Mage, and more efficiently.

Counting days was just a case in point that Blue Mage has gone a profuse amount of time without seeing a singular update. I would argue these updates are not as substantial as you might think. The single biggest update to Blue was the incorporation of raid-related achievements which are a 1-off, beyond that it's just so soul-less if you actually thrive for something that the class was originally designed and advertised for. The only solo-related thing they've ever done was implement Basic Instinct (and carnival) - This was fun for playing the 'how high can you go' with Final Sting.

Nothing has changed with it ultimately, bar the fact they've added in additional achievements for those that actually want to do content with the class. They could have equally added solo-related achievements and it would detract absolutely nothing from the design. - I do want to be absolutely clear in that I don't think it should do current-level content and nor would I ever want it to be such, as that would bind it by the same restrictions as traditional classes in the first place.

Being separate from all current-(max)level content is a good design choice, I do think. But they seem to think that this warrants nullifying it from a substantial amount of dated content. The thing to keep in mind with balancing is that in the case of Deep Dungeon, this would not be a continual thing to the same degree as everything else, just the initial balance to ensure that they cannot use abilities such as Ultravibration, Missile or Tail Screw, for example. - I'll be spitballing here, but do you have any idea how people have requested or desired BLU to function in the deep dungeon?
