Disability - Game access

#241887 Posted on 2021-06-22 03:12:00

Hi everyone,
Obviously there are several ways in which the game could be made easier to access for us disabled folk. I don't pretend to know and understand them all. I can only come from a place of lived experience.

That said, the idea I am coming to everyone with today is just a solution to sort out a problem I have had a few times recently. Not to give out too much info about myself but one of my disabilities is dyspraxia. This means that at times I find it very difficult to differentiate one line of text/ buttons etc from others and find it difficult to use the hand eye coordination necessary to press the right ones. It isn't usually a big problem but, like today, it can lead to embarrassing mishaps that distress me greatly. 

Today, I was unable to see one users profile image (it hadn't loaded or wasn't active, unsure) so I wrongly identified the author as another member, clicked on the user above in the forum and sent payment for a character to the wrong user. Not only is this frustrating and embarrassing, but it makes me feel put off from further gameplay. I love this game and it is my absolute favourite. So...

I am asking whether it would be possible to apply the different coloured lines we already use for training etc to our forums as well. (The blue/green versus white) to help those like me differentiate between posts and users. 

Sorry if this doesn't make sense anywhere, I'm still very upset with myself and what has happened. Please feel free to ask questions for clarity.

Post authors are already quite far apart in the forums currently. Can you describe a bit more how exactly things should look to be more accessible?

Okay so the best way might be to show you what happened if possible?

The issue isn't so much distance as it is distinction.

I'm all for easier access but I'm confused as to how this would help in regards to the forums. Unless you're on mobile, cause I could definitely see that happening. Especially on shorter posts when people don't have signatures. But other than that, I'm confused. 
(On the mobile note, I'd love if the buttons were a bit thicker, height wise. They can be hard to click)
