Thank you to everyone who responded with kindness and suggestions. I appreciate you more than I can say. I'll be trying some of those ideas, and I'm grateful for the encouragement.

This was my first time posting on the forums, and I suppose I underestimated how hard it would be to talk about something so personal. Brushing my teeth, holding a glass, walking across a room, can sometimes be real challenges for me. But when I log into FFXIV, I get to feel strong. Capable. Just another Warrior of Light among many.

So when I come across content that's impossible not because I'm not trying hard enough, but because of how my body works, it's more than just a missed achievement. It's a reminder that, even in my escape, there are places I can't reach. And that's a hard feeling to carry.

I never meant to offend anyone, and I'm sorry if it seemed like I was asking for the game to be made easier for everyone or for content to be taken away. I wasn't. I was just hoping to ask - gently - whether there could be ways to make certain experiences more accessible, so that more people like me can share in the joy that this game gives. I tried to be gentle in how I asked, but maybe I didn't get it quite right. Still, my intent was never to criticize, only to share, and to ask if there might be space for more of us to be included.

It's daunting to speak up when you're less able. There's a real fear - a very familiar one - that people will think you're asking for something unearned, or that you just want things to be easier. I don't. I just want to be able to experience more of the game I care about, in a way that works with my body, not against it.

Being made to feel even smaller, or like a burden, wasn't what I expected when I posted. And if some of the community can't be open to even hearing these kinds of experiences without judgment, then maybe it's better that I just quietly fade back into the background, like so many of us often do.

Thank you, again, for those that helped.
