Guild sluit dove WoW-speler uit
Tijdens de feestdagen is samenhorigheid een belangrijk gegeven. Helaas past niet iedereen dit concept van solidariteit en warmte toe, getuige een klacht van een World of Warcraft-speler. Deze gamer is recent betrokken geweest in een ongeval dat leidde tot een permanente gehoorschade. Door dit ongeval is hij terug begonnen met het spelen van World of Warcraft. Nu blijkt echter dat zijn guild het ongeval ook niet goed kon verwerken, want doofheid zou volgens hen een obstakel kunnen vormen tijdens het spelen van PvP-events in het spel omdat de guild altijd via Ventrilo tactieken plant.
Je kan hier de boze brief terugvinden die het ongelukkige (ex-)lid van de guild richtte aan de WoW-community.
Hey there thanks for clicking my post. This is going to be a bit lengthy. I recently had an accident that resulted in the permanent lose of my hearing. The last few months have been the hardest i have ever known. I have had to deal with never listening to music and talking to people has become exhausting. Its become that most people i thought were my friends just didn’t want to deal with me anymore as i had become inconvenient. I felt more alone than ever. So I came back to wow. Now I’ve been playing with my guild for about 4 years. We have all become close friends. We have even done some rl guild parties. I explained why i have been off for so long to the guild. I explained my condition. Everyone was pretty supportive for about 5 minutes. Do you know what the first question I got from my guild leader was? He asked me if i could still use vent. I told him no, but tried to assure him it wouldn’t be a problem as I usually research the fights before hand and use dbm. He tells me that I can’t raid unless I have vent. Guild rules and all. I was pissed. After a huge blow out between us I get removed from the guild and put on ignore. Our guild wasn’t even that good. We did naxx full clear 10 man once. After that I cried. I didn’t know what to do, who to turn to. I tried joining up with some other guilds but their response to why I can’t use vent went about the same. So I come to the forums to not only vent my frustrations but to find others with my condition. Are there any deaf friendly raiding guilds out there? Would you be willing to take me in? How have you dealt with being deaf? Any advice is appreciated, so long as its constructive. Thanks for letting me blow off some steam, typing this out has helped.
TL;DR version Edit: I can’t believe the responses i have received. My brother and i have been reading all of them and I have not felt such compassion in such a long time. (And from the wow forums no less lol) Its almost to much to handle. Now don’t get me wrong, i’m 6’3 240 pounds built like a truck chef crying just isn’t something I do. lol But here I am making an exception. My brother and i have decided to make something out of our guild. The offers have been appreciated and noted. Thank You all again for the feedback it means more than you could ever know. |
Gelukkig heeft de desbetreffende persoon van vele mensen ondertussen al een hartverwarmende respons gekregen. Samen met zijn broer heeft hij namelijk zelf een guild opgericht en kan hij weer genieten van de game tijdens deze sfeervolle dagen.
