I don't know if you've ever been or dealt with someone who is disabled, but an important aspect of being so is trying to break through previous barriers. Sometimes these can be consistent wins, and sometimes they're flukes that happen in moments of extreme competence and focus. These moments are incredibly important. So locking oneself out of something they might complete (especially with job mixes, interactions and other facets of teamwork) is a really bad place to be in, and a bad precedent to set. You're not required to help someone try and overcome their limitations, but that's kind of the whole story thematic of the entire game and I would kind of hope that would resonate in some way.

I'm gonna be that guy. And I really hate that I have to be. Just because someone has a disability, it doesn't excuse them from having to put out the same performance as someone who does not. Whether that's here in Eorzea, or in the real world in any sport situation, it is unreasonable to use your disability as an excuse, when you're doing any team activity. And this is coming from someone whose physical limitations prevented me from playing any sports at all. I didn't expect to be able to join a team, fail horribly, and say "You have to accept that I can't perform. It's my disability!" The same holds true here. If you cannot do it, you cannot do it. To pretend otherwise, and hope that maybe this time, the stars will align, and give you just enough power in your broken body, just to accomplish something ONE TIME... It is not fair to the other seven players you play with, to hold them back with something neither they, nor you, can control.
