    Kicked from raid team due to colorblind

    It seems my final coil days are over. Tethers on T11 are a huge problem for me due to red and green color blindness, they are impossible for me to distinguish fast enough and it causes wipes. This has pisses off my team which led them to kick me.

    This also was a issue with other fights but I managed to get through or have another player tell me what color I had, this was not the case for t11 as they cared more about loot than helping me out. Could make life easier by making tethers yellow, or white, but green and red is a no go.

    So my options are limited and may even have to quit the game as very few people are willing to help someone like me.

    You know, you'd think they'd have learned from the Garuda tethers.

    If we do not have an option for color blindness we should petition for one.

    I know in World of Warcraft you can turn on an option for that as one of my friends IRL is color blind and still plays that MMO.

    Well, to be honest, your teammates are assholes. I don't see the issue in calling out the tethers. I do believe that the color options should be better adjusted for handicapped individuals though.

    What? No...? They're unable to perform a fight mechanic, and as such the group can not progress and beat the encounter. The group is well within its right to remove whoever they choose in order to be successful.

    I agree with the sentiment, but not in this case.

    We've already pointed in this thread that t11 tethers can be distinguished in ways besides their respective colors.

    It's really sad and disgusting that certain people are trying to turn requests for simple accessibility into raid drama, when none of the members of the raid were ever named or targeted for anything, but came in here to start a fight.
