Accessibility will never work in this game. Why? Because all of us (players).
There's nothing better than HA for those with accessibility needs, and we all know what happens with these players.
If we can't accept the easiest accessibility option we have (HA), and if even ZoS keeps these HA players out of trials like vCR... What do you really expect from ZoS?!
ESO Accessibility = RIP
a go kart in a 100m dash? elder scrolls isn't a sport. that is pretty strange to add.
"just because accessibility is a good thing in games, it doesn't mean a game should be dumbed down just to appease those audiences"
"normal" people will leave
eventually bore "normal" people.
Disabilities/health issues make people dumber?
Or disabilities/health issues require dumber content?
Normal? I'd like to see the poster's definition of "normal".
Attitudes like this remove a very large portion of the market from Zos's possible income stream.
Enjoy the population level of your mmo...while it lasts.

Nothing was taken out of context.
You said it and it got "snipped" because your meaning was very clear.
Shrug.
Personally I'm just about done with game anyway since Flashbang Arcanists give me migraines as was reported by many during PTS server. It was ignored so as not to disturb "normal" peoples' gaming.
I can no longer do much else besides a few craft dailies and hang out in houses.
Not much point in logging in anymore.
This isn't about "being against something that helps disabled people". That question is a no-brainer and we're all on the supporting side: Accessibility should be about helping people overcome disabilities and bringing them to or at least close to the level of everyone else. You're right: If my color-blind buddy can change the default colors of enemy and friendly AOEs, it makes the game more accessible for him, but not easier than it would be for anyone else. No one can reasonably object to this.everyone is allowed to use accessibility options in videogames and should if they want to. an abled person isn't cheating by using aim assist or subtitles.

take the ramp that's in front of a building's entrance, anyone can use it. you don't need a wheelchair to use a ramp.
it doesn't give you an advantage over people using the stairs.
support more accessibility and stop believing that being against something that helps disabled people is okay just because abled people also use it.

It gets trickier, when a feature actually changes the difficulty of the game itself. Subtitles are allowed in e-sports but aim assists aren't. Oakensoul made it easier to achieve high DPS and survive tough encounters - not just for people with physical disabilities, but everyone. And that's generally fine, but people will disagree on how much easier it should be made. Because while ESO isn't a sport, it does have competitive elements like PVP and leaderboards. Players practice their skills/rotations, form organized raid groups, and test their abilities in scored trials, sometimes with a Twitch audience. That's at least sports-like to me.
Therefore, we need to discuss how far we want to prioritize helping people overcome disabilities over changing the underlying balance of the game. And we should be able to do so without the black-and-white assumption that one side doesn't want to help people with disabilities at all...
]But PVP is dominated by certain other classes in the main. Trial Leaderboards are a mix, with certain classes dominating - Sorcerers not being one. Solo Trial Leaderboards are a long list of Nightblades and nothing else.

You keep making the same mistake over and over and over and over again. I've explained it to you dozends of times by now:
If you want to evaluate the impact of oakensoul, YOU CAN NOT USE LEADERBOARDS OR WORLD RECORDS OR RANKINGS AS A REFERENCE!!!!
Oakensoul does not have impact on top tier groups and comparing them is misleading. It does, however, have a huge impact on the average trial group scene. If you were truly interested in answering the question "Why OakenSorc", you would open esologs, go to all reports, pick any trial and browse the logs. But you are not interested in answering the question and that's the problem.
The person I was quoting literally said it was about leaderboards.
What are you hoping I'll see?
I looked beyond the top 10 but ... are you saying they are relevant now? Because you CAPPED me to say they weren't.
