Here we go again

[PharisHanasaki]

I mean, I have astigmatism, so I shouldn't be on the road in the first place and have in fact never had a driver's license despite being almost 42.

But the way some people in here act, I should be locked away in my home not even allowed to take the bus or get a car ride from someone else because that would be "easy mode" or giving me an "instant I win" button for basic transportation. Or hell, they probably think eyeglasses/surgery are a literal "cheat code" given their unhinged mentality about how wrong and terrible they think accessibility options are, lmao.

Honestly, it's starting to feel like you're missing the point on purpose.
I have astigmatism. I got a driver's license since I was 26, when I got my own car.
I use glasses, and yes I do not drive without them for my own safety and that of the people around me.

You're not asking to hitch a ride here, you are basically going to the government to complain that you have to take the bus and thus take a longer time to get from point A to point B,

You argue that it is unfair that you cannot move as fast as people with their own cars, so you demand faster transportation, or that they accommodate to send you a car to your house to be able to reach point B in the same amount of time as the rest of the people because it is not your fault that you decided not to drive (or are somehow unable to, astigmatism is not an excuse not to drive).

You’re being incredibly judgmental toward someone whose situation you don’t fully understand. Just because astigmatism doesn’t stop you from driving doesn’t mean it’s the same for everyone. People have different experiences, limitations, and reasons for the choices they make and it’s not okay to speak so definitively about someone else’s life from the outside.

Oh, my bad, I thought I read "I mean, I have astigmatism, so I shouldn't be on the road in the first place and have in fact never had a driver's license despite being almost 42."

So my logical conclusion was you said "astigmatism is the reason you shouldn't be on the road". How is that judgemental on my part when I have the same affliction? In fact, if you google it it reads: Astigmatism is a common vision condition where the eye's cornea or lens has an uneven curvature, causing blurred or distorted vision at all distances.

Sorry I'm not one to blindly take arguments that make no sense.

I’m not making blind arguments, you misinterpreted what was said and jumped to conclusions. That’s judgmental, regardless of whether you share the same condition. Having astigmatism doesn’t give you the right to speak over someone else’s experience or twist their words.

It’s also clear you’re more interested in being combative and dismissive than having a respectful conversation, so I’m stepping away. I’m not wasting more time on someone who refuses to engage in a respectful manner with others.

People are saying that the devs need to draw a line and they have. It doesn't matter what challenges you have my wife has autism, ADHD and Dyslexia but raids Ultimate.

I know everyone is dofferent but the expectation needs to be that by level 100 you can do a basic dungeon. Rezzes in trusts are an "I win" button because NPC's will do the mechanics for you and you'll be raised and win.

You may pretend this is a visual novel but it isn't. Every RPG expects you to master the systems to a minimum and this is the minimum. There is nothing here that anyone cannot learn with dying a few times and learning from each mistake. Absoutley nothing. The problem is that people use whatever reasons they can to avoid being told that "accessibility" and "entitlement" are the same in this situation. The game will not and should not change for a few people.

I’ve already addressed your points multiple times, and it’s clear you’re unwilling to consider any perspective but your own. At this point, it’s just going in circles. I’m done engaging with someone who refuses to understand that accessibility isn’t entitlement it’s inclusion. Believe what you want, but I’m not wasting more energy on this. Keep being delusional about what the game really is. Have a good day.

What you want isnt accessibility its a brain dead mode for lazy players. Tell me what is stopping any of these people you are talking about from going again and finding a way to get around this pretend disability and clear the encounter by learning what works for them?

You’re not here for a genuine discussion just rage baiting and throwing around ignorant takes and insults. Dismissing real challenges as “pretend disabilities” is not only offensive, it shows how self-absorbed and out of touch you are. I’m not engaging with someone who refuses to listen, learn, or show basic decency.

I've made my point multiple times in this thread, I'm going to play XIV now and have fun

You'll have a better time with a visual novel or animal crossing. Game too hard. Need nerf

You know, that's the thing. You haven't made your point.
You say something, something, I have astigmatism, and then suddenly I am judgemental because having to wear glasses is not a disability.
I say this game's genre is not Visual novel as you stated, but that also gets tossed out of the window.

I am supposed to understand that you want something that is not "Make an I win button so everyone can be happy".
I'm just tired of staying quiet to be the "nice", "empathic" person that pleases everyone.

It has not served the game. Casuals will never be satisfied, and the rest of the players are getting bored to dead.
Just as some people here have mentioned this game has lost many casuals, it has lost many midcores and hardcores as well.
I got friends who have not played, or tried but never came back because of how easy the game is or looks.
And I can't argue with that, the game is significantly less challenging that before.

But I don't get this "everything needs to be just the way I want it" mentality. There are thousands of games out there.
I like this game for what it is, and was, not what it has become.
I do not see the point in continuing this conversation with you or your friend any further either.
Have fun in game.
