Yes I'm not lying, all true.

And Tiel I have muscular dystrophy, kinda a bad disability.

I-I don't get it. what do you mean by "disabled players"? you mean like physically, or virtually?

I'm too busy being lazy to read the whole topic.

Has anyone noticed Domokun's sig is a little un-appropriate? (But cute)

I suggest you do some research

being disabled does not mean your retarded. Someone could be in a wheelchair and be considered disabled:

Developmental Disability
A disability that occurs during the developmental period. It is attributable to mental retardation, autism, cerebral palsy, or other neurological disabling conditions that require training or support similar to those required by individuals with mental retardation. The disability occurs before a person reaches age 22.

Medical evaluation by a physician or administration of a standardized psychological test by a psychologist can identify a developmental disability.

Developmental disabilities cannot be cured, but with support and training, individuals can lead reasonably normal, happy, productive lives.
Mental Retardation
Mental retardation refers to significantly subaverage general intellectual functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior, and manifest prior to age 18.
Autism
Autism
is a chronic disorder that may affect communication and behavior. It may include difficulties in speech, the capacity to relate to others and events, responses to sensory stimuli, and the rate of development.

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.

Sigh, did you even read the post?

Target is a website. If you had looked at my source, you would see that blind people SUED target for not making thier site useable to blind SHOPPERS

WoW is a similar concept...

It is a service(like targets shopping website). Therefore, they need to make it useable for ALL users.

Finally, they DO have keyboards for the disabled:
