Kicked from raid team due to colorblind

If a person says they are color blind, who am I to call them out on whether or not that is true. I am not defending the OP, or anyone else in this thread. I am however defending the requests that get made to accommodate those with disabilities be that colorblindness or something else. But since we are on the subject, if you ask me the greatest disability in this game are those folks who become instantly aggressive/negative towards others over the smallest details. Internet anonymity or not, please learn to treat your fellows with more respect.

Why are people crying for a color blind mode when IT'S ALREADY IN THE GAME? They picked the colors (red+green tethers vs. blue tether, easily distinguishable for red/green color blind people) and design (shape, animation) of the tethers specifically to allow color blind players to complete the raid unaided. Why are people crying foul about the fact that "oh SE should really consider the poor color blind people and add this mode" when THEY HAVE ALREADY DONE SUCH A GOOD JOB AT ACCOMMODATING COLOR BLIND PEOPLE THAT THEY LITERALLY WON AN AWARD FOR IT? Cripes, how molly-coddled are we these days?

It is already in the game, none of your posts deserve the slightest respect because you are showing no ability to read what others are posting.

TBH I am not colorblind so I cannot decide if it is done well or not. Also there are so many types of colorblindness that it might work for one person but not for other. Anyways it is my mistake for not noticing the different shapes of tethers even when I am clearing the T11 weekly..

[Gardes]

I tank for t11 so I don't really focus on the other tethers and I don't even know/remember what colors they are but I do notice that they have distinct shapes when my party splits for non tank tethers.

On another note, I used to be able to easily tell apart garuda HM tethers by color before they adjusted the tethers to make it more color blind friendly. As far as I'm aware, I'm not color blind but the first time I saw the new changes, it threw me off and I could barely tell which color is which color. I was off tanking then so I just grabbed both garuda minions and just generated hate and let the dps decide which one they want to target. I haven't really had the chance to really look closely at the new tethers for that one but...are they still red and green? All I see is two different lines (one huge wavy, one smaller) and I still don't know which line is the det buff and which line is hp regen buff.

The tethers look different in shape.
blue-white is less twisted, ribbon
red-green is more like a DNA strand.

put up markers for tanks, melee, and ranged ppl, in a triangle shape.
there's always 2 pairs, and it's always 2 melee, 2 ranged/casters, 2 tanks; so to prepare, you always stand with the ppl you can be paired with; away from other groups.
if it's a tank-melee combo, the melees move behind the boss, so you don't get to close to tanks, and begin gaining stacks. then you rotate in the same direction, to avoid cone-aoes
if it's a melee-ranged combo, you stand left and right of boss; away from each other, and rotate in same directions, to avoid aoes.
so you don't even need to use color, to distinguish them; you don't even need to look at the shapes, you just need to look at what group has tethers.

Well, lets just make when there are two (or more) things to be distinct, have them changes not only on color, but in shape too, and shape differences needs be so evident as are the colors. All happy.

So are you going to address why the OP is wrong and misrepresenting the issue or just call other people fat?

more of a saying you're taking this way too seriously and arguing with EVERYONE until they agree with you. just leave the post if you dont agree with it or think the OP is lying. People have disabilities while playing this game and its nice for SE to implement things that help those people. SO WHAT if you dont think they look alike etc. I have no reason to disbelieve the OP, doesnt matter if i havent been in T11 or watched any videos.
