JJTEAMA Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Hello I am a physically impaired player. I have tried to join in the community and put in put into the suggestion box. I have made many suggestions more than I can remember more than I can keep Track of. Well I have done this he has not been only for me. It has been on behalf of the disabled community as there are gamers. That are disabled as well and they do like to play MMORPG. So as I have taken my time I have trying to somewhat be a voice for them. An. Advocate in. Equality. For physically impaired players. Trying to make the game more accessible for everyone no matter what type of limitations or playing styles they have. If the game is not equal access for everyone. The game will suffer and die. It is a very passionate Star Wars fan I would really hate to see that happen weather would be in 5 months or 5 years Also in communicating with other people on the forum I have had my own difficulties. with this site. As I am NOT able to zoom in and read text I cannot really answer anybody this is why in one of my topics I posted please do not post here the reasons were it was to keep track of my own post and I thought. It would be a nice thing to let people know so they would not be wasting their time posting it to anything that I would not be able to answer And another problem with this site is every time there is a needed to improve the text size for visually impaired players to read whether you like capital letter format or you try to make it exciting much longer than standard size The text defaults to small print. So it actually took another person to reach me things that were said. Some I can understand and agree with and some I can't. Being able to I to agree with I mean. I understand everything. But I have been the first gamer. That is physically impaired that is openly come out about it. How my actions I have done on behalf of the disabled community most of all is there no one else. On this board in a Star Wars The Old Republic community that is also disable. I am posting this as a call out to anybody who is disabled that has struggles but still enjoys games. Maybe there are other players out there like me but you're scared to come forward if you're scared to post under this thread Please PM me and look me up you can reach me by that you links I have placed on my profile page you need to copy and paste them. To get them to work if this game is inaccessible to us maybe we can find a better one Looking forward to your replies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over the years there have been several software programs invented that assist physically disabled computer users like you to be able to do a myriad of things including computer gaming. Most of them are available for the physically handicapped at reduced prices, or are state funded and free provided you are over a certain percentage of disabled. I suggest looking into these products and utilizing them. BW and EA can't do anything more to assist you with your gaming experience on your end.

JJTEAMA Posted April 23, 2014 Author Share Posted April 23, 2014 I am putting the snow here because it seemed appropriate given the topic title I placed on here there has been people saying that I am lying about being visually impaired the reason I know that is because some of my friends do stop in on the message board to let me know what's going on sometimes There are two reasons why my writing goes lowercase standard text one this messag this message board seem seems to put everything on default standard lower case text. Given that I have no way of changing the board I can't change that. / and the other reason is I use a verbal speech to text program I am sorry for any misunderstandings and I do think everybody. Who has taken the effort to post in a way I'm able to read it that is this message is to the posters that have done that and made the text size very big and to all the other ones I am NOT able to I am NOT able to read your post I hope this clears up any misunderstandings thank you for your time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJTEAMA Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Thank you very much for the info but I have something to say about that I have my zoom in at 150 % anything more and I cannot navigate it anything more than that and I will not be able to use the Internet. Also I am hesitant to explain what tools I use because I'm getting harassed by trolls. And I don't know if any of them have the ability to do any hacking. either. When you put somebody on your ignore list does it stop everybody from seen that on does it stop everybody from seen that one post. Or does it only stop you from seeing the post Edited April 25, 2014 by JJTEAMA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am deeply sorry you had to put up with this harassment. In answer to your question, putting someone on ignore will hide any posts they make, but only for you. Others will still be able to see them. I am also sorry you've been having problems with the game/site, however I am not qualified to provide help on that issue. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
