The contempt for people with disabled people in this community really concerns me

[Sebazy]

So in multiple threads I’ve seen people saying people with disabilities should be weeded out and quit the game or they can’t clear certain content (solo instances in this case).

Please cite the posts here. That sort of attitude isn't acceptable and hasn't been for the longest time.

I brought up that I have a learning disability and sometimes it takes me longer to clear normal mode raid content than most people but I eventually do(for what it’s worth in the past I’ve cleared a couple relevant(at the time)floors of savage (A9, A10, O1, O2, and O5) after lots(and lots) of attempts but I don’t bother with it anymore because I’m afraid of attitudes I see here.)

If you can clear raid content without paying for a carry, then the ire isn't relevant to you in any way.

Can we stop assuming that just because a player is struggling means they are “bad and don’t want to improve”? I want to improve but I do so at a slower pace than most people and it’s VERY hurtful when I read comments like that because I read myself into it, so please take a moment and think before making broad generalized statements about “bads”.

I'd love to. I really would. But no, I can't. Because the vast majority of players that are struggling in this content are indeed bad and have little to no interest in simply reading the tooltips or approaching other players with an open mind for advice. They simply view this as a looter shooter where other people have no choice but to do the shooting for them and meeting one that's willing to actually listen and make some efforts to improve is incredibly scarce.

I even brought up my struggles with my disability in a thread and attempt to show not all “bads” aren’t trying and all I was told that the game shouldn’t cater to me, can we please have a bit more of an open mind here?

You may well bring it up here, but I've never once in all my years and hours in this game had someone who I've approached about the standard of their play say that they had a disability that was holding them back. I played alongside people with various disabilities over the years and you know what? They've always put in that extra effort to make sure they weren't holding anyone back. So yeah, I'm going to keep assuming the bads are indeed just bads until I see any actual legitimate suggestion that they are anything but bad.

I'm massively against further diluting the MSQ aspects of the game. But most certainly not because might weed out some people with disabilities. That's absolute BS.

I'm against diluting the MSQ because it is or rather was the beginning of this games difficulty curve. A difficulty curve that was absolutely perfect in ARR but has steadily got significantly worse with each expansion. Now it's just a flat line with a couple of speed bumps that head into the low 'wall' that is 24 man.

There's just no progression any more. That's poor and unengaging design right there.
