Kicked from raid team due to colorblind

[Lycinder]

This topic should of ended ages ago when a member of the static op was in said "It was not the colourblindness for the reason why you were kicked." and from what I have seen in videos and guides the tethers are no issue for Red/green colourblind people as both red and green do the same thing I mean the op's static member even said "We wiped to the tethers because we weren't used to them yet."

Honestly the topic is just ridiculous at this point.

They were just a bunch of asshats for kicking you and you're better off without them.
I'm guessing if you were in a static, you were on voice chat for raids.
was it too difficult for one of them to yell "red" or "green" in your ear every time?

Both me and my friend have bad enough eyesight that we are registered blind, and TBh shiva can be a struggle to actually see things. I can clear it without them but one of my fully sighted friends on voice chat calls out the weapon stance changes as shiva does her animation, and that helps immensely.

edit:
If it turns out to be a dps issue or some other reason you get kicked from the static, then they should blame it on that and not use the poor discriminatory reason colour blindness being the issue.

Op is healer, they didn't use colourblindness as an excuse it was just that those tethers was the latest thing wiping them so I assume that's where Op picked it up from.

The reason why Op was kicked was apparently because they didn't get along with the group/argued and was voted out by some of the other members.
I'm sorry but all this information is in the thread can people read through things before weighing in otherwise its just silly beating a dead horse.

Having read the critical posts. Let's put this to rest. If it was due to colorblindness it's bad of the raid leader. As someone said a raid leader should be able to adapt the strategy to the team. If there was something else let them deal with it on their own and sort it out.

I agree though that they should provide options for colorblind people - of all types. It could be as simple as having a here's a quick colorblind test to figure out what you can/can't distinguish and we'll adjust the colours to the point where you will be able to tell them apart along with what each colour corelates so that you can understand others when talking about it.

I agree with this, though SE does really well in patching in things for the hearing impaired and colourblind; though of course when content is "cutting edge" it seems that kind of thing isn't guaranteed (see shiva's aoes before update which gave it echo, even I had issues with that at first.)

Sounds more like you raided with a bunch of asshats. I think in most groups people just call out where to go when progressing. I'm sure you can keep doing that.

I'm sorry about your experience. In a way you're generalizing the whole community. I don't think very few people would make an encounter easier for a group. The way you describe that group lets me to believe you're better off with other people anyways.

op you're kinda like the girl classmate i had that tried to date our other classmates but when she got turned down, she would bitch about them judging her because she was fat, even though it really was because she's cray cray.

That analogy works too well, end of topic we are done here.

Well, to be honest, your teammates are assholes. I don't see the issue in calling out the tethers. I do believe that the color options should be better adjusted for handicapped individuals though.

hit the nail on the head if some1 gets kicked for somethin like that then the ppl who kicked should b named n shamed imo

I'm staggered by the number of people who read the first page of this thread and reply with how offended they are. I bet you vote and raise children, too.
