I'm disabled, can we please stop with the solo duties.

[DeathNoodles]

People call this an MMO in the same breath they'll say this game is too much of an RPG.

I am also disabled, especially handwise and mental. The accommodations I really wanted for BLM were things modders were already doing, like optional signals or sounds for the enochian timer.

Accommodations to people seem to always mean "dumb things down" when it just means reviewing current systems to see how you can make something available to everyone on an equal playing field. It's insulting to keep assuming disabled people just want an easier game forced upon everyone when there are thousands of different disabilities which means thousands of ideas (not even counting non-disabled input) as to how this game can achieve a good level of universal design.

Honestly I think having a reasonably challenging solo duty for each expansion is a good thing. If you can't read your tooltips for 4 skills and/or you can't dodge mechanics that are reasonable for very casual expansion content (and especially on very easy) then it gates people that can only complete content by being hard carried by other players from forcing other players to hard carry them. Genuinely I do not know what could even be fun in this game that is gated by current MSQ that wouldn't require you to have the ability to pass the solo content in the first place. Gathering at current expansion nodes? Watching other people do equally challenging content while you're on the floor waiting for your 7th rez? Basically the only content current MSQ will give you access to is as hard or harder than the solo duty. You don't need MSQ to RP, you can get all your crafters and gatherers to 100 without even finishing ARR if you're dedicated enough, and you can PvP before finishing ARR.

I have my own stuff that makes it so I physically can't draw, and my short term memory and focus are nearly nonexistent, I wouldn't expect a game about drawing to add an auto draw feature so I don't have to draw or a memory game to add a "automatic mark" so I don't have to remember. As an MMORPG the core of the game is the battle content, so asking to skip the battle content in order to get to more battle content just doesn't make sense. You can watch all the cutscenes on Youtube, which is basically all the MSQ would be for anyone that skips fights anyway.

Would enabling the difficulty settings before you fail make it better? I wonder if it would, at the very least, feel nicer if you could select "Very Easy" WITHOUT having to die a few times first (which makes it feel like a rude consolation prize)

Yes, that would help.

It would be even better if the three levels were called "easy," "normal," and "hard." The fact some skilled players look down their noses at less-skilled ones is semiologically endorsed and encouraged by SQEX.

Yeah its odd how you fail afterward that it gives you the option. And for that reason I almost never took the easy option, mostly because it felt patronizing. If the option was before you entered the duty and after you failed as well, that would feel more fair.
