The rising 2017 - Discrimination

[Rokke]

Claims to have crippling dyslexia preventing them from solving a 6 letter word puzzle. Types with impeccable spelling and grammar. Seems legit.

While I think OP's discrimination claim is pretty overdramatic, its a little disheartening that your post has so many likes. I have mild dyslexia but its very easy for me to hide it on forums because I can copy/paste anything I type into spellcheck then again into a program that reads it back to me. Catch me in game or on discord and its a whole nother story >>;

you posting with words is discrimination against dyslexia

[loaded-god-complex]

People who don't have a disability = their opinion doesn't matter, because they are not disabled and can't understand.

People who have a disability but that disability is not dyslexia = their opinion doesn't matter, because they do not have dyslexia.

People who have dyslexia = their opinion doesn't matter because...

Wrong. You pay for the ability to access the games servers, nothing more and nothing less. You're not entitled to anything beyond that. Instead of carrying on like a petulant child because you think SE created this event to personally spite you, you could have used one of the many suggested solutions to fix you're problem and move on with your life. Grow up.

Yep, I got the same in the thread I made, several posts got deleted.

Do you have any issues with the likes of:

The absolute worst thing about this in the game are the Zhloe quest items and materials. I have a auditory processing disorder and "Maelstrom Materiel" " Maelstrom Materiel Component Materials" "Maelstrom Materiel Component" make my head hurt. The way they name things in this game sometimes can be terribly clunky.

?
Regardless I am curious what a convo be like between the 2 of us on discord XD Since I have problems like this I am somewhat skilled in knowing what people mean (or maybe cuz it looks normal to me?????????????????)

Thinking a game developer can possibly account for every disability around and is actively trying to target a specific demographic with malicious intent is both self centered and dumb.

Here's my two cents:
1) You cannot please every player of an MMO, some (as evidenced by OP) are more snowflake oriented than others. They obviously want to be THAT person who gets noticed by the company because they were able to speak over every other person in the thread. You cannot/ WILL NOT be able to satisfy every person that frequents or even tries your product. They aim for a core demographic and appeal to IT, if they can gather up more players while aiming for that group then great, if not... Meh, people tried it.
2) It is more than apparent that in the eyes of the OP, there is no TRUE Scotsman! Others with the same disability are telling this individual that they completed it through means that are available to this person as well; YET, they are brushed aside, because... ME, ME, ME, it's all about ME and MY whiny needs. They don't want help, they won't accept help, they simply want to complain at get their 15 minutes of fame.

Don't feed the trolls kids.

I cleared both floors then just moved back and forth looking for the overlaps in numeric sequence. I can understand being frustrated but there really is no reason to assume the developers are sitting in a room thinking of fun and creative ways to "trigger" you. The puzzle was just a fun "call back" to older games, i sincerely doubt there were ppl in the dev team trying to find ways to "discriminate" against people.

For example i stopped playing FPS games cuz the graphic fidelity got high enough to "impair" my ability to play them cuz of my bad eyesight. It never really crossed my mind that they made "better graphics" to screw me over >.> I figured they did it cuz it improves immersion XD

Okay we all love the in game events and thankfully a lot of us can participate in these said in game events - However The Rising 2017 has a stage where you need to pick a password out of jumbled up letters - Can someone please tell me how people who have Dyslexia can do this please, ill make it short and sweet - they can not

Dyslexia is a disability which involves letters - many people suffer from it - I would love to know what Square Enix was thinking when they did this - i mean they basically excluded everyone who suffers with Dyslexia from this event - i mean i cant do this.

I would love to know what they are going to do about this to now level the scales for people who have dyslexia.

I am really disgusted with this to be honest its really bad that a company such as Square enix is making this kind of mistake.

Crossword puzzles must be the devil's work then.

I apologize, I did not mean to sound insensitive. However, I just find posts declaring that a certain group is being discriminatory just because they have a puzzle of all things to be a bit irrational. I understand that people with dyslexia have very hard challenges they must overcome, and not being dyslexic, I cannot even begin to imagine that gravity of it all. But to claim that SE is discriminating against group just because they have introduced a puzzle game is ludicrous to the point where I was driven to make my original statement.

Even though I made this thread:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...e-per-lifetime
and have problems with this area, I did not use stuff like " Discrimination" because if you do not have issues like that, how are you supposed to know it would become one to some people? There needs to be a degree of understanding from both sides. TC is too extreme, talking to some people on a different extreme, you never get a compromise like that.

With that said I took a SS of the first floor and just matched the numbers and letters.

Even though I took my time I got it wrong the first time (no clue why, to me I did the same thing twice) But I did get it the second attempt so I do not see how the puzzle can be that bad compared to other things in this game.

If the TC really had problems I hope he sees this, what I did was look at this SS, find the letter that Matched the 1. After doing that, I find the letter that matched with the 2, I did each letter one at a time, so there is no way to mix them up, even though I did manage to select wrong once, doono how but ya, just do that, focus on 1 letter at a time.
