Ableism and elitism from the hardcore community is damaging FF14

[Skiros]

So many words just to say: "I don't want to play the game and I want to get carried."

The lack of empathy in this response is truly disturbing.

Skiros is right though... You're the exact kind of player that uses no essences and dies 10 times in a single fight in Delubrum. It is not ableism to want people to press a single button in their holster to use an essence. This community is hopeless.

If there is anything hopeless about this community, it's the flood of players who are defending ableism and shutting out any attempts at empathy.

Demonstrating your lack of understanding of what empathy actually is doesn't grant you any credibility. The person you responded to appears to have quite accurately found the base point in your oversized post and made it apparent they have no sympathy for you and your supposed argument.

No one here is responding to any of my argument because they know the moment they read it, they'll realize they were the evil.

Play an offline game then. It's one thing to make access to a building accessible. It's another thing to make a game, which inherently provides certain challenges for able-bodied people to be doable on people with disabilities. They've made strides in reducing button bloat (20-25 buttons per job), locking other players behind walls until cutscenes are over, and making color blindness options. But there's only so much that can be done.
