I'm Crap and I Know it

People are very quick to judge someone based on immediate presentation. In this case a character acting irrational, running into things s/he shouldn't, not making proper attempt to get out of the fire and other bad stuff on the ground, so on and so forth. But then you learn the reason behind the presentation. And hopefully you become enlightened, and show compassion.

I'm glad you've found your fun in the game, though I would certainly be honoured to come across you in a dungeon. You're already a big, bad, whamma jamma.

Hi! I hope you find a great FC in Brynhildr, but if you ever happen to get to Exodus or if you come across me or my friends at the Duty Finder, we will be very happy to play with you!

Clap your hands?

Sorry thread title reminded me of that song.

hmmm the game lacks the accessibility for million clicks jobs (as in there dont exist a good alternative to avoid having to click a lot)

my problem is that i cant recall all the mechanics for raids , i forget so easily , thats why i too do the fates and leves , crafting+gathering

i am fine with dungeons ,but i am bad at raids like coils or something similar


but if we could turn the whole game into a voice commanded game then we ll be entering a new era of gaming

In my case, I'm not stating something in an attempt to be self deprecating or attention grabbing. I'm making a statement that "hey, I might have these problems in a fight, but I'm learning quickly so don't get your panties in a wad". Most times you wouldn't even notice a difference and that's exactly the way I intend to keep it.

Not to put words in the OP's mouth, but I think they intended the same with their post. It is a matter of "I am playing this game despite my disability. Please show a bit of patience/courtesy to your fellow players and don't immediately fly off the handle and rage at someone because of something that may be beyond their control." I don't think they're saying "accommodate me. Change your playstyle for me. etc."

I don't think they're saying "accommodate me. Change your playstyle for me. etc."

That is right on point. First, I won't even think about doing a dungeon unless I'm confident I won't cause a party wipe. I try to read dungeon walk-thru's before I do them, but there is often a lot to remember when doing for the first time. Mostly, I do other things in the game and avoid dungeons altogether when possible. It's not anyone else's duty to keep me entertained, FFXIV offers plenty to do for the most part without having to run dungeons.

The point of this thread was to learn what others were doing to overcome their challenges. I apologize for wording my original post in such a way as to obfuscate my intent.

I see.
In this case, kindly forgive my cynicism.

Cynicism and Apathy.

It's a shame that a post that was meant to bring to light some issues of people with certain disabilities had to turn in to an argument thread because of "lol, cynicism."

[Mycow8me]

Doesn't really matter, a post in this thread with the intent of expecting to get flamed was an attention grab in of itself. There was no need to call anyone out on anything in the first place.

I thought it was neat to see how people are overcoming disabling problems to play the game though.

Hi! My Cousin has MS and know (not first hand though) struggle and how difficult it can be. But Just so you know. I play on a PS4 and I use zero mouse clicks. I just cycle through the things I need via the buttons on my controller. Ive gotten very fast at it and I actually play faster and more controlled using a PS4 remote than a keyboard and mouse. Ive done Coil and all the hard content (minus savage Alex) using my ps4 remote and not once can anyone tell im on a ps4. Id say give it a shot
