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.

Ive never done a raid on WoW so I dont know how hard they are, but couldnt they just nominate a person to oversee it and bark out instructions? I play Atlantica Online, and in their dungeons we just get the nation leader to spam instructions that pop up on the screen, then again its a turn based fight system so its totally different
God I hate guild dungeons/raids/quests.

Your saying you hate raids , but yet you have never done one ..
i dont know if this would be the right analogy, but its like saying you hate having gay sex, but you have never done it.
To defend myself; lol . i would never want to try gay sex, but im not going to speak as if i have ever done it ..
you catch me ?

Find me on Steam.
Well I have never tried gay sex and certainly would not like it, how do I know it? Well im not gay. Ive seen WoW raids done by friends, never done one myself, and i meant in general, raids on all games are almost the same, go in, kill stuff, get out. >.>

that really hit a soft spot in me.. how can people be so ignorant.. he was with them for 4 years and they couldn't find it in their hearts to help him.. but he does speak the truth when it comes to friends.. you really will find out who your friends are.. which is by far the saddest thing ever.. I really hope him and his brother get something going and the Kick lots of but.. 
I wish I played WoW.. I would take them in for sure..
