Good.
God.
Video games for the elite are too important to let the disabled escape their lives for a minute even in a random pick-up group. Cool.
I want off this planet.

I'm gonna attack this one head on.

After the military, I have an issue with my right arm. Not sure what or why, but every so often, it just goes numb. From the shoulder down. Never for too long; few minutes or so. And while sometimes it can slow me down a bit, it is NOT my excuse to not try.

I'm not one to insult someone's disability, but where that disability is not a direct impairment to being able to play this game, I say it should not be a free pass to allow one to be mediocre or underperform. We have an "almost-blind" player on my server (by his own admission, to which I respect), who has just about done everything I have as well. I can even say seeing him in action in Bismarck Ex, if I didn't know of his disability, I wouldn't be able to tell at all. And I'd argue that his disability is certainly worse than my own.

You must think fairly lowly of disabled people if you think they are sitting around wanting people to do everything for them.

Tbh, regardless of my situation, I would be sure to meet the minimum requirements before playing with random people. If that means waiting until I have enough of a gear buffer for it, then so be it. Alternatives include FC/ Linkshell/ PF runs.

But then again, without a parser, how would they know if they can meet the minimum requirements...
