"This is my playstyle" is a poor argument for being bad.

Off topic: Not gonna lie, that's pretty amazing.

We felt terrible about it... really happy we didn't say anything to him. I was tanking and my wife was the other healer so we knew the issue was with him on the run. My wife nearly cried when she found out she was upset with someone doing poorly when they had an actual excuse.

If you look around on youtube you can find videos of people who have some serious physical limitations that still manage to play games at a decent level.

That's the thing: we don't know who's actually behind the Character. Some might play this game just so it's the only thing in life they have left to enjoy..

Yet people with a short fuse will harm them in ways worse than actual real-life conversation..

It's a me-me-me life nowadays, so 80% of peeps just don't care, we need to git gud or to play another game. Really? That irks me you have no idea.

There is a member in my FC that is nearly fully paralyed, Multiple Sclerosis I believe but I'm not sure, that has had to adapt to be able to play this and other games. They have downed AS3 and are part of a "hardcore" raiding static. They never let their physical situation hold them back and instead just saw it as something to work around or overcome.

In my experience, people with actual handicaps IRL tend to be very dedicated and strive to not make excuses for themselves as they don't want to have that one aspect of them define their entire being. Such an attitude is worthy of respect and I wish more people in general would be as proactive and positively focused.
