Here we go again

[Mawlzy]

after reading the abhorrent replies in this thread in which people willfully misinterpret the points being made by people requesting simple accessibility options, i never want to hear a single one of you complain about this game's population being in decline ever again.

Unfortunately, some people feel empowered through cruelty.

While they are bad for the game and player numbers, I am far more concerned about their impact IRL. We don't need any more individuals who regard empathy as "a fundamental weakness of Western civilization."

At the end of the day, I think it's important to realize that in pretty much any case
your preferred difficulty and enjoyment is directly coming at the cost of another player's enjoyment, and to recognize that sometimes a middle ground that's outside of your comfort zone is necessary for the health of the game.

Solutions have been presented in this and other threads that overcome this problem. In fact, I'd argue, based on the responses from "both sides" of this discussion, that a middle ground leaves a greater number of people dissatisfied.
