Kicked from raid team due to colorblind

[Krr]

I have made two posts in this thread thus far. I have done none of the things that you have described. I am not even from the same server as the OP. What are you even on about?

...So you are. It's a long thread with a lot of names, so I apologize. There was a lot of Cactuar, and I thought one of them was the OP reposting.

I still don't see the objective in anyone trying to defame the OP when 90% of the thread was "Wow, that sucks," followed by "Here's some solutions, both from the developer and player side, for dealing with colorblindness in FFXIV." Other than being shallow bait to start a fight about the nature of Raiders' Honor(tm), which is a boring topic 90% of the boards devolves into whenever raiding comes up. Nobody's reputation is at stake because one salty guy said the thing literally every salty guy says when they get kicked from a raid group.

Does this explain why he thinks Moogle Go Round doesn't exist?

Probably! But overall, I feel you OP. We had a raid member who was deaf, so we couldn't talk to him at all on Teamspeak. So I took the liberty of making macros for him to see. He was also German but spoke english~! Very humble guy and it's unfortunate that I had to move servers (love interest) or else I would've stayed to help him. Find yourself a raid group and let them know about your disability and if they want to work with you great! If not, move onto the next group of people. There are always nice people in the world, ya just gotta find 'em~ Good luck!

You along with many others did nothing more than read the OP and then post. A member of that users raid team already posted and said it was a personality issue. ...

You obviously didn't read who I quoted. See my post here:

But why would you believe the spokes person for that raid group over the OP. The spokesperson is just doing PR. But anyways even if it personality issues, why can't they be more accomodating for that? They never explained what was so argumentative or problematic. Everyone makes mistakes, can't people have more patience, understanding, compassion, and forgiveness?

Why would you refuse the other side of the story? The OP posted first so he is more correct? I don't think that's how things work. The first to speak isn't the most accurate. There are two sides to every story, and In this case the other side is that the OP was argumentative and caused issues between members. Honestly, I find that more realistic than him being treated with prejudice for his disability since those kinds of interpersonal problems happen in groups all the time.

And to be clear. There is NO REASONS AT ALL to accommodate someone who is argumentative, causes problems in the group, and in general brings moral down. None at all. You can gladly play with someone for 6+ dedicated hours a week that you can't stand all you want. Good for you that you have that level of patience. However, there is no reason that anyone should be expected to put up with an attitude like that for hours each week for months on end. None. Also you said they never explained what was so argumentative. Did you ignore the part of the post where that guy explicitly said he didn't think the discussion belonged on the forums and was willing to talk to the OP directly in game? It isn't for us to know because it's not their job to lay their dirty laundry out for all of us to see and judge them. You should know that already. This probably wasn't due to mistakes or a lack of understanding or even a lack of compassion and forgiveness. Toxic elements should be removed from a raid because you will literally spend dozens to 100+ hours in dungeons with these people. You have the right, nay the duty, to ensure you play in an environment that is both fun and stress free. I am not, and others are not, social care givers here to put up with toxic attitudes with the goal of turning a frown upside down. We are here to win the fight and try to have fun all after a long day of work, raising kids, etc. Not for me to come home and put up with some toxic little punk attitude. I'd rather kick them and get someone who is a poorer player with a better attitude every day of the week.

You argue always for people to be more accommodating. Why can't the little punk players who have poor attitudes learn to accommodate the other people? Why is it always the little man who must be treated so much better than everyone else regardless of what his attitude is? Just because he was the minority does not automatically make him a damsel in distress. Sometimes that 1 person was the problem all along. You clearly always pick the underdog in these arguments, but to do so and always protect that person is a fallacy. You're assuming they needed the protection and that they weren't at fault. You literally know nothing about them.

There is no proof that that OP is argumentative. Just unsubstantiated character assassination. They don't have to air their dirty laundry here, but without you can't make a call between the two. All I see the typical static turning on people for nonsensical reasons as it usually does. And besides people who can debate and discuss get labeled argumentative and it does NOT mean they are going to cause problems for the group. The static should be a group of equals I'd hope and not some mini personality cult with a dictator in charge so people should be able to discuss things even if it seems argumentative.

Once again it is a fallacy to just assume the OP is the correct one here by default. I simply responded to your comment about accommodating. What if he was the problem. Hmm? What then about being accommodating. You're just arguing from the full out assumption that OP was right.

Removing a toxic element is the exact opposite of non-sensical. It's the primary reason to remove someone followed by skill issues. Assuming that all statics that boot someone did so for nonsensical reasons means you lack any and all context to why you might remove someone. You're making assumptions and acting on them. This is a good example of ignorance. Your total lack of understanding of the raid environment makes you yourself a failure at being accommodating. Something you yourself constantly advocate. The reality is you don't want to be generally accommodating. You want things to be accommodating in one context only. The context of raiders being more accommodating to others. Yet you never ask for the same the other way around. You argue from a limited point of view so your solutions come from that same limitation. Accommodation works both ways son.

While I don't doubt the possibility that an entire raid was blind to other distinguishing features of the tether, it's less of a stretch to believe someone was kicked from a raid for chronic interpersonal issues than a completely manufactured issue in turn 11.
