Tab targeting has been silently removed...

Now cut off your hands, and try to cook the spaghetti.

Cooking spaghetti without hands is hard in a different way. That doesn’t mean it requires more skill. It means it requires more endurance for frustration.

But I guess I’m the asshole for wanting to play violin. Some seem to have forgotten that the attitude of “if you don’t like the changes I want, don’t play this game”, is how we ended up with Luclin and PoP.



There’s a Karana of difference between a person living with disability to manage through one or two pulls, and sustaining through 30+ minutes at a time. My friend can barely grip a mouse. He can make a left click, but not with precision. Click targeting for him is a major challenge. He was playing on a mage.

I agree that EQ, with tab targeting, is an extremely accessible MMO. That’s one of the reasons we all played Blue in the first place.



I didn’t want to tell his story without permission. It was a really hard emotional thing — there’s not many games he can play so he was really looking forward to green. The reason he was happy for me to include more personal details, is specifically that there are many more people like him who either won’t be able to play, won’t be able to play nearly as much, or for whom playing will be an exercise in painful frustration, because of the removal of tab targeting.

It is what it is.

That is a pretty ridiculous comparison. If i understand correctly: you are a person with no hands and you're trying to understand which is harder to do: cook spaghetti or compose a violin concerto. This is the reason why there is a clearly objective way the targeting system with mouse could be deemed as poor? Youre lambasting me because I am trying to take away your hands or take away your ability to achieve some kind of nuance hands provide? Again you prove an insufficient argument: what is it that is logically binding your strange double metaphor to skill against the lack of tab targeting? Can i not throw it back at you - the skill and use of a mouse requires the finesse of a violin player, without it we are playing the game like brutish pasta chefs.
This completely ignores the fact that musical composition can be done without an instrument or even hands....but please the obvious loss of musical virtuosity is the sad fate of a handless spaghetti maker
