So in case your interested I cracked some jokes my raid leader took as being serious. He got upset about it and I was kicked. We later chatted on mic, had make up sex and went on to farm t10 and died at t11 tethers again. But this time not my fault.

So yeah y'all need to stop assuming things about me, I'm not a bad person or player. Things were simply misunderstood .

Would have been easier if you didn't lie about it... but glad stuff got fixed between you and him.

Honestly how hard is it to design a damn tether shape? They already have several shape variations IN the game (like cerberus chains) swap the shape to one of those SE and stop being thick about it!

fc mate walked got into chrystalis for the storyline and people started explaining the fight and brought up the colored orbs my friend said he was color blind and they kicked him immediately....

The way you automatically assumed it was due to color blindness when it seems clear the group didn't tell you that was the reason is why I have a problem. You automatically crutched on the disability and sought sympathy and you didn't even know that was the real reason. It sucks you're color blind, but that kind of behavior is unacceptable. Even now people are posting without reading the thread and you get more and more sympathy.

the red/green balls are different, so it'll be easy to know regardless of color.

Dunno how hard or how well it works (not colorblind but was doing accessibility programming), but the Android OS has a feature where the user selects a palette that they can see through some wizard. The phone then applies it to everything on the screen. SE should try implementing something like this so they don't have to keep redesigning fights.

OP already said all is good. Jokes in bad taste = perceived personality clash = group abandon => making up after CONVERSATION
(But really, y'all should learn that when with several groups of people some things just aren't what you should be saying.)

The tethers are distinguishable. Develop raid awareness. Look at whether or not you have certain shapes of tethers (though color helps people). You have helix-like? This is the "red/green" tether! Not that? Ok blue it is.

The balls in chrysalis are distinguishable. They're small. Or big -_-

how does a misjudged joke equal I was kicked for being color blind

This exactly. I mean, even with the OP making an incorrect assumption, you'd still expect that if there is a problem that kicking would be the last resort, the leader would at least try to work through the dispute first rather than change up the dynamics of the entire team as a spur of the moment decision.
