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

That is very impressive, I guess I should have distinguished learning disabilities from physical disabilities in my post, different disabilities affect different people in different ways. My point was simply just because someone is struggling and learning content slower than most people doesn’t mean they are “bad and not bothering to improve”.

Maybe i've missed it but all i've seen is people complaining about people who are bad and don't bother to improve regardless if they're disabled or not. Where did this "if you're disabled then you are bad and don't bother to improve" notion came from? The issue is people's attitude when comfronted with hardship. Some people are disabled and indeed use their disability as an excuse whereas others try to do their best and not be defined by their disability.

People are people which means you get good apples and bad apples regardless of personal circumstances. There are disabled people who play better than me out there.

Considering the outright contempt people have for those with disabilities in real life I really doubt people will start using it an an "excuse" en masse.

You poor sweet summer child. Maybe not en masse no, but that does exist. Again people come in all different flavours.

My two cents, SerLuke, would be to not take the contempt you might encounter as specifically directed to your disabilities. Contemptuous people, in this community as everywhere else, addresss their contempt to anything that doesn't meet their own standards, whether it be you are slower, or you are unaware yet of what a particular marker means, or you have a higher ping/slow pc, or you are older with less brisk reaction time, or you get overwhelmed by rapidly overlapping mechanics that you don't know by heart, or you have a headache that day, or you are a first timer in the dungeon/raid, or this is the first MMO of your life and you are still trying to get your mind and fingers around it, and so on and on. Contemptuous people will address their contempt to anything at hand, from being a lalafel to not playing as if you were a perfectly programmed pawn in their championship chessboard.
There are nice, tolerant, patient, good humoured people playing this game too. People who don't label anyone and who don't mind "wasting" some time in a video game. People that can turn a bad dungeon run into smiles on everyone's face. I've met some, I swear!
Please, just enjoy the game and ignore the bad cases as best as you can. It's the same I would say for life in general, you know : )
