If you are not disabled I don't think you should decide in their place.

I am. No, you're not getting details. Yes, there are things I very much cannot do, especially in real life. It's not my place to force the people around me to cater to me, and it should not be the case here.

[PercibelTheren]

Im sorry for all the disabled players i see posting around, but no video game can survive catering to a small minority when it is at the expense of a majority.
You should expect that you will not be able to enjoy most of the game's content. That's just how it is and no one can fix it.

Im glad that you can and have enjoyed the game to the extent that you can. Later content will naturally be harder, and not exactly more of the same striking dummy difficulty.

Personally, I would like to accommodate disabled/older/very casual players if possible. But not at the expense of everyone else. I think Duty Support is the way to go. Let there be easier versions of the duties that you can run with Trusts, maybe.

Like you are trying to do right now? Hm.

This game actually needs way more accessibility options including taking the ones it already has and making them work across all platforms (as I understand it, the half baked colorblind filters do not exist on console?)

Accessibility doesn't have to make the game easier, reduce the skill floor, or raise the skill ceiling. But accessibility has been largely wrapped up inside ease of access and difficulty and now it's hard for people to tell them apart.

This, exactly.

Aion was my first mmo to heal in, and it spoiled me honestly, a lovely mix of dps and healing spells. They had a rebirth skill that was a self buff only that ressed them on death. But healers were more important to the party in that game in all forms of content so...I mean it would be helpful on raids during prog of course, but if everything is going right, its a waste. Often times if the whole party wipes and healer lb3s its a wipe regardless because we wont reach enrage, until of course we get enough gear that it becomes irrelevant and no one really dies anymore and blah blah blah round and round we go

God, Aion was one of the best games for healers in my opinion. Cleric had a legitimate DPS build, a good hybrid build or straight up full support. Chanter was equally awesome. I even made a support bard later on.

The nostalgia is real.

Aion had an excellent system although oddly enough no one understood what chanters were good for and they suffered miserably as a result for at least a good 18 months (if not a bit more) until their QOL improved dramatically over time.

Now when it came to clerics, it really could support those people who honestly believe in both 'healers should heal" by having some really challenging healing as well as those who want to get truly feel challenged by playing in DPS spec, and seeing that they can get to be one of the best DPS and at the same time pull off clutch saves by supporting whomever was in heal spec.

So we weren't healers before ShB?

It’s like that the memory of healing in ARR, HW, and StB was just a fever dream that SE tried so hard to convince us it wasn’t real lmao.
