If they actually put effort into continuously updating Blu, then keeping it as a limited job would have been fine.

Limited jobs are cool, so I voted for Blu to stay limited. As a limited job, blu serves a purpose to me. I can use it to run low level dungeons quickly for catbook stickers thanks to basic instinct boosting run speed, or I can use it to have a reasonably good time farming fates since it keeps all its skill while level syncing. I could also use it to engage with the carnival or do the goofball raid stuff if I am so inclined. Which I am generally not (though I did get the Morbol). While these aren't the best uses, they are uses. I also just like the patch day frenzy of leveling and getting new skills.
You know what use I have for a non-limited blue mage, or beast master for that matter? A big fat 0. I level them to cap and don't touch them again until the next time the level cap goes up. I am not a person who is inclined to roll some dice to determine what job I queue for something as. In my estimation, samurai is currently the most fun job in the game so when I queue for something, I queue for it as samurai. Well ok, except for LDR and HLDR where I queue as mch and pld respectively. Mch is the job that suffers the least from random level syncs and 50% of the time I HLDR I get a single pulling tank so I just suck it up and do it myself. But minus those 2 roulettes, it's samurai time. Since I am heavily bias'd against spellcasters and pet classes, the odds that blu or bst make me want to swap main jobs are very low.
It's weird to me that people are so hung up on the limited jobs as a concept. You got 21 non-limited jobs to pick from. I get it if you personally loved blu or bst for whatever reason and you're mad your preferred job can't do normal stuff. I don't get it from people who don't have that particular skin in the game but are mad about it anyway.
BLU shouldn't have existed if this is what all the time and resources go to every few years, and it genuinely annoys me that they're adding a second, probably even more bareboned job instead of throwing BLU more than crumbs, which they'll likely have to fight over from now on to boot.
I understand people liking the concept of a job that plays out of the box, especially with how homogenized all the others feel, but this ain't it chief. As it currently is, it's a waste, and I'll die on that hill.
PS: if we could, at the absolute least, play the MSQ or NG+ as BLU or BST(?) I may have a different opinion, but since they can't do even that, well...
Limited job. There's already plenty of regular jobs to choose from.
