    Disabled person to other disabled person: "Hey I've developed a few macros that can make it easier to play the game without damaging your hands, the only hands you'll ever have, that you need to preserve as long as you can because it's incredibly difficult to interact with the world when you don't have them."

    Raiders: "Be careful, you'll lose 10% of your DPS uptime (on a healer job)!"

    It's a question of priorities. Disabled people don't always have hundreds of extra bucks to drop on peripherals to fix something that should have been fixed by the billion-dollar corporation before the game shipped.

    If you feel so strongly about disabled people having access to that missing 10%, get on CBU3's case every time they use 'accessibility' as shorthand for 'we made this shit so incredibly easy you guys' instead of respecting its actual meaning: functional accommodations for disabled people. Like, just as an example, a working macro system would be a great disability accommodation.

    I don't know if you have some specific dislike for raiders, but it seems you either aren't aware of or skipped over the affect on other abilities i.e healing that were mentioned..

    There are ways to accommodate various disabilities without the use of macros, I don't know perhaps SE may improve the current system one day by streamlining it - similar to the PVP rework. Who knows - better to ask them in their suggestion forum.
