Discrimination

I’m here today to address an issue for those who are deaf, have broken English or can’t speak English, those who are mute and those who don’t have mic capability really. To start, I’m legally deaf but I’m able to hear to some extent. But if there’s a lot of chatter, then they become jumbled noises to me and I can’t make it out but hear. So with that said, I for the most part always had made sure it’s known I’m deaf when I’m tanking either dungeons or trials be they vet or normal, etc. I never had a issue really, til today, with communication and working well with the group as a tank. I always asked someone a question and got answered via text chat but today I had my own guildmate discriminate me by disavowing text chat in our raiding group, allowing only me yet.. it now defeats the purpose of me needing any questions answered or role recap/mechanism when nobody replies now but I hear mic chatter going off. When I ask again, I get a vague is response and just pull- which I then go off winging it doing what I read up on with mechanics and all that. Most part I had responses before this, running trials and dungeons flawlessly. This though today? Total bull, discriminating too. I’m not asking anything done with mic’s but I do ask that for those who are anti-text, to least explain your respective roles simply. Be willing to work with your group, that’s why it’s called a group- teamwork, there’s no ‘I’ in team. I could go off on this but I still am willing to work with everyone as always. However, ZoS... Would it be too much to ask for hotkeys for PS4 users to input commands (text, such as in trials nSO ‘popcorn is coming, block’ etc) using say by holding either R2/L2 down respectively and clicking either the directional buttons or the ‘shapes’ buttons (x,o,[],^) they could hold up to 8 commands that can be done quick and easy in battle for easy commutation. I ask this on behalf of those like myself, who can successfully play ESO properly with everyone else too mic-less. It’s really infuriating to be rejected because I’m deaf and unable to be in mic- but the joy in my face proving them I’m a decent tank is pleasurable I digress, this needs addressing please, it’s unfair legit and straight up discriminating. With a side note on text chat- could we pleaseeeeeee get our guild chats colored so it’s not all 5 different guilds text chatting going off in all 1 color. It’s impossible to read efficiently. Sighs, I hope others sharing my plight or their ‘voices’ out there too.

It's a stretch to describe this as discrimination... since it sounds like the the guild is permitting you to raid despite your inability to use voice chat.

A lot of guilds wouldn't even do that. It's very common for guilds to require voice chat as a condition to raid with them.

I don't like it either because I usually hate being on voice chat while I'm playing a game. It's often times distracting and annoying.
