No, because no dps outside of a Blue Mage can end a FATE that fast.

People should be able to play whatever they want. The issue with that statement is that it doesn't take into account people going into business for themselves. I don't care if a Blue Mage is doing FATEs with me. No big deal, but when that Blue Mage is deleting the FATEs, you have a class balance issue. That unfortunately, people will abuse. The old saying "exploit early exploit often."

Again, to make it perfectly clear.

People are mad at the selfish griefing people.

Not Blue Mages in general. I shouldn't have to play that job to keep up. And if I do, that's bad game design. Intended or not, this comes up every time for a reason. I've seen normie memes about it for a reason. But SquareEnix won't do anything about it because one, they have bigger fish to fry, and two, it would make Blue Mage more of a target than it already is for harassment. I don't think it's right to attack the job. To be fair, I don't think it's right to attack the player either, but if you're being a selfish child hogging all the blocks, I'm going to call you out for it. Strawman or not.
