Just like a work place, a website or MMORPG CAN'T discrimiate agianst disabled people. So, if a disabled person needs a bot to make them able to play. The disabled person legally can have the bot.


The target website got sued for not providing the proper accomadations to blind people on thier website

WoW could use a system forcing someone to show legal proof that they are disabled and have to use the bot.




A lot of disabled people are on disability because they CAN'T work. Some are in wheelchairs or don't even have hands that work and are VERY limited in mobility.

So, playing games or watching TV might be the only thing they are able to do.

I talked to someone in Second Life who was on workers comp and explained to me that it was the only way she could experience walking.

So, maybe WoW players feel the same way
A game is not a must for people a job is. So you can't discriminate when someone needs something to live. Video games are not a must there are other things to do. I saw a story of a girl a few years back she was born without arms or legs yet she still found ways to do different things. People will find ways around the rule and use the bot anyway making it unfair for regular players who are willing to put in the time and money . Besides why not make a keyboard for the disabled to play with instead of a bot for people to abuse. As for the law suit I'm sure they can work it out and make assessable to the blind.
