While I sympathize with your trouble(unless you're a fekkin troll ), one of my main reasons for leaving WoW is the "dumbing down" of the entire game. WoW is a shadow of what it once was. It was never difficult per se, but it was at least difficult enough to keep me interested.

As others have stated, gaming is a hand-eye coordination, dexterous activity. That's part of the "challenge" of video games. I play games for fun, and for something of a challenge. This is how gaming has always been, and hopefully always will be.

This is probably the reason I am beginning to believe Dark Souls is(one of) the greatest games ever created. It's hard as hell, at least was, and continues to be as I progress through the game. After completing an area I can go through it with minor difficulty again, but it's still not a cakewalk, I still must pay attention or die.

So, without trying to sound insensitive, gaming is probably not something you should do as a hobby if you are finding WoW difficult. Or at least stick to simpler games, or ones that don't require a large amount of hand-eye coordination to achieve the desired results.

I also love racing games. They can be challenging, but also do not require the dexterous movements of controlling a character. Provided you have a wheel. All you have to do is steer, and work the pedals

Remeber when hunters would kite by doing the 180 jumpshot thing? and feign death prior to dropping a frost trap?

I liked the game back then. Everyone could play it but those who played it well really stood out. WoW nowadays is pretty sad.

Yeah. WoW's character controls is still one of the best out there. I used to do that Feign Death a lot too. Had a macro to just spam whenever melee got on me

I actually used to kite Phantim from Ashenvale to Orgrimmar using the jumpshot(vanilla, he was a badass then) and let him wreak havoc.

Ah, good times.

I can see his point being somewhat near the edge where you can have problems. Still I would rather not see content reduced to help people with disabilities. If you cannot do the hard stuff then don't do the hard stuff. Sadly I see a suit in the future. He have built a society where people just think about themselves and no one else.
