Player Drop Off and Accessibility/Diffculty

[RajNish]

That's not a personal slight, it's actually a huge problem with accessibility IRL too. The question is always, who is is accessible to? Even people with the same disability can have competing access needs.

I understand, and thank you for the clarification. Everything I mentioned was just one example. It would be possible to find a balance, at least try, but the main problem is that the developers are taking what they think is the easy way, ignoring this issue and not even trying.

If they had asked people with disabilities, they would have gotten a response, but even when they received reports about accessibility issues, they ignored requests sent directly to their accessibility team (I don't remember the exact name of this department, sorry).

Some might say it's impossible to make the game accessible for everyone, and I agree, but at least they could have tried, asked, and at least improved something.

Take the 2'd new Alliance raid, for example, where the flashes are literally blinding. The moment when the final boss teleports to the corner, you're enveloped in a white, blind spot. This was probably intended to create difficulty and cause some players to miss the corner and fall. When the content's challenge involves blindness and disorientation, which can trigger seizures in certain people, I can't believe the developers have given even the slightest thought to content accessibility.

For now, it's all about "If you can't, don't play." And the main problem is that no one asks us, and apparently no one ever will.
