I'm Crap and I Know it

[Mallea]

Watch out for me should I ever show up in your party I'm one of *those* terrible players who screws up in dungeons. I have Multiple Sclerosis (poor hand-eye coordination and failing vision). Often, my hands tremble so much I cannot click a hotbar icon with my mouse. Three Razer appliances (mouse, keyboard, and touchpad) with linked keys help, but my disease is such that I stress easily and can become hopeless if things go wrong. Ironically, I'm a solo, Levequest, and FATE goddess; I just suck in dungeons. Yes, I have caused squad wipes, but people have been very kind about it (to my face, at least). Consequently, I avoid dungeons at all costs.

I've posted elsewhere that I'm mostly do crafting and gathering. This is why. Just thought y'all should be forewarned. Happily for me, my game is all about the economy and not the least about being the biggest, baddest whamma jamma. I play on Brynhildr.

I'm curious about how many others share my circumstances.

You aren't crap. Please don't ever feel that way about your situation.

My husband has MS and I know what it is like.

If you were ever in a group with me and you let the party know the situation, you can be darn sure that I wouldn't tolerate anyone being rude about it. I am glad you have the tenacity to keep playing and enjoying, though. I know it can be difficult and that coordination issues could be frustrating.

Um okay. Sorry for your illness, wouldn't say you're 'crap' because of it....but anyway...Not to be rude but I'm not sure the point of this thread though...

Ha! I didn't take your comment as rude. In rereading my post I seem to have missed the point. I'm curious about how many others are contending with some challenge (1) ... and (2) how they overcome it.

That's all, I just got more wrapped up in explaining why I was asking than doing the actual asking. LOL

They said right in OP that they wanted to know how many other players have this condition, probably looking for information on how those people deal with their handicap. I'm not trying to speak for the OP but perhaps you should read the entire post.

MS is a degenerative disorder that pretty much erases the nervous system.. yet you just had to be cold right?

Summoner or Bard should be a good choice for handicapped/sicked players. sometimes I play these jobs with one hand.

I also know a player that play Paladin with one hand (he physically has only one hand) and he's playing just fine.

I'm very interested how he targets the mob he just lost hate to?
When I tab around I keep targeting mobs who arent even in the fight because SE's crap targeting system.

So without a mouse healers would die
