WoW Player Kicked From Guild for Being Deaf
Well you no longer have to be bad at a game to get kicked from a clan or guild. Now being deaf will be your ticket to getting rejected from teams.
User Unwelcomed explained how he was involved in an accident significantly damaged his hearing. Since he had troubles talking to friends and listening to music he turned to World of Warcraft to boost his morale. His guild didn't mind his disability till they asked him to use the Vent voice chat servers. He said no but mentioned he could research raids and use DBMs.
His guild didn't really care about his "raid researching" abilities and kicked him. Here is his complaint:

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.

Got deaf, got kicked, cried.
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.

I guess the guild really had their heart set on voice chatting. Hopefully this kid joins another guild and gets his vengeance.

well, i can understand that guild. if it was a hardcore raiding guild, vent is a big requirement because you have to talk with eaach other whole the time. there is nothing more irritating than not being able to talk to your team mates while downing a boss.

well,thats why when in a team at anything you'd better be the best
tht way no matter what you're the most wanted/valued/etc :]
dnt see why hes gotta cry about it
its horrible to lose hearing but tht wont fix anything
sounds like his guild never liked him though.
which is messed up albeit a tad funny.
