    Right. Which can happen a number of ways. If someone is disabled, I'd recommend that they take a moment to consider any new content they're running. Most such people I'm assuming won't have much reservation against running normal and expert dungeons, even in pugs. But there are completely competent and able-bodied people who refuse to do even extreme primals among strangers. I'm not saying players with disabilities should wait for full premades or anything, just that they consider (as everyone should consider, really) whether they can make a fair contribution to a group. If they feel they can, by all means queue, but be aware that they will be held responsible for their numbers the same way everyone else in the party will. Most parties I've seen don't mind one person's numbers being low as long as things are going smoothly. Or they can make friends and try to push through with steady teamwork among understanding friends.

    Eh, going to respond to these two parts together. I'm totally fine with people with slight disabilities (y'know, not quadriplegic or anything) joining statics that are willing to work with them. If the static is willing to wait a little I see it as perfectly valid. And as long as the disabled person is putting forth about the same level of effort as the others (even if the result's not the same), then I don't consider it a carry, really.
