[Anhanrundek-altar-of-storms]

[Evilmuffin-uther (Evilmuffin)]

@Nydris-anathema

So hostile and nasty.

[Nydris-anathema]

Someone needs a break from the forums.

[Rejel-westfall]

Some people need to realize we all ain’t here 24/7 and know every person that trolls. That’s all really.

[Konsequences-illidan]

i think a game where you rez ppl from being dead probably wont have much people with disabilities

[Anhanrundek-altar-of-storms]

eh…they bring back real people all the time who are dead for minutes. That same person could easily be missing an arm or a leg.

@Furrfist-frostmourne

Wheelchair mount would be cool ngl

Scary Movie 2 Wheelchair Battle

[Flesha-tichondrius]

Hey, its a fantasy game, it does not need or have to represent anything at all.

[Mythosaur-frostwolf]

also i dont think this would be a good idea
or players will pull an eric cartman yelling when a duel happens

@Evilmuffin-uther

As someone who now has to walk with a cane if I am having a “bad back” day where I might lose strength in my bad leg, I am not interested in having an NPC having to limp around with a cane.

Can you imagine that?

I mean, yeah?

[Moused-cairne (Moused)]

Never could or can understand how folks playing a fantasy game like WoW would want to play a human…as for disabled NPC nah…I play WoW to get away from my Disabilities…

I KNOW THIS GUY IN REAL LIFE HES A GIGA TROLL HE IS NOT A DISABLED GAMER(beyond his regular levels of autism) THIS IS A MASSIVE BAIT POST DO NOT FALL FOR IT GUYS

[Satirica-thrall]

As a disabled person I often play WoW simply to leave my diabilities behind. I can fly, be in the mountains, visit the ocean, relax in the deep woods. These things have a real, positive impact on my mental state, especially when the pain I am dealing with has me near tears.

I suspect this is a troll thread, but if not then my vote is don’t mess up what we already have. It is great as is. I don’t need wheelchairs or characters who are twisted into odd shapes with spinal deformations. I live that life.

[Murdercarpet-zuljin]

That was in vanilla content. In wod Drek’thar was blind but no longer used a wheelchair.

[Lorkhan-draktharon]

as a disabled person, representation for representations sake is not something I want.

I’m comfortable in who I am and don’t need to be pandered to. Now let me just play my unrealistically beautiful, physically perfect characters in peace.

[Doness-kargath (Doness)]

More representation is never a bad thing. Also, moderation is needed to filter out nastiness here.

[Luuni-area-52]

@Breakcog-proudmoore

I remember has been with drek’thar

Even in a wheelchair, that Orc can kill an entire alliance raid with one hit.

He scares me.

[Toleco-runetotem]

Being on disability for multiple sclerosis, I couldn’t care less about representation. I’m not playing this game to be reminded of what I’m dealing with IRL. Mind you, my life IRL has turned out rather sweet.

[Water-tanaris]

@Chillproof-moon-guard

Assuming you aren’t a disgusting troll using disabled/marginalized groups to get a rise out of the forums, no, I don’t think it’s something we need in WoW. I don’t play my fantasy rpg’s and wish that my real life disability could be carried over to my in-game avatar.

Edit: Looking at your post history, yeah, I’m going with disgusting troll.

Absolutely this. Muted thread.

[Huntardir-cenarius]

Just cause you put stuff it in caps doesn’t make it more or less true.
