Although this is an old, already discussed problem, I believe that we can still change. I feel that the majority of players that play Destiny are under the appropriate age for shooters. I think this age should be 18 and over. I'll give you a few reasons.
1)It causes traumatic situations. I for one do not want my child flinching and screaming away every time they see somebody holding a sword.
2) It causes anti-social instincts to grow. When you think about it, the average session a child will play in Destiny is three to four hours. That's three to four hours where the only communication the are getting is with people they have met over the Internet. I don't want children growing older and being scared of every person they see.
3) It teaches them bad words. Every lobby I go into, there is always that person (usually a child) screaming curse words for no good reason. Where did they find out these words? From older players. If there was a minimum age, you would not have this problem. Children are getting angrier because of this game.
4) My final reason is that it causes violence. No 10 year old should be able to make another creatures head explode, or shoot other players virtually. What happens when that transfers to the real world? That anger and frustration would lead to much property being desecrated including
Mailbox Baseball
Laser Tag
TPing Houses
Egging Cars
Multiple holes in the wall from being punched.
ANY PERSON who do not follow these rules should be arrested with a minimum 2 year sentence.
Thank you all for the support you give me. I believe that a change to only 18 year olds and over would make the worlds youth safer and more intelligent than currently.

Plus. 2 year sentence for playing a T game? Stupidest thing I've ever read or heard. Not kidding. That is seriously the stupidest thing...
-
So you want to arrest minors for 2 years because they played a shooting game? LOL GTFO DUMBASS
-
I did those things without the help of video games or television when I was a kid..
-
While a bit overboard in some areas, you do make some good points. However, the game doesn't have content that would designate it as needing the M rating, and changing the rating would not keep those underage from getting it and playing it anyway.
-
Australians gave this M which is for T for Americans and Australians gave halo the M rating so????????
-
You want the minimum age to be 18? This game isn't nearly violent enough to be rated M. Im pretty sure most people under 18 play way worse games than Destiny like gta.

I'm 16 I'm good I get good grades, and I have a life it's summer let me enjoy the three hours I get to play

I think someone got their ass kicked in PvP by a squeaker.

Dude. It's rated T for a reason.
-
I'm 13 and this game hasn't effected me at all in social terms, I mean, I have plenty of friends, I have a Girlfriend, I still greet every neighbor I see when I'm walking my dog and I still don't care about what people like you say.

I see two possibilities here: 1. This is satire. This is worrying because it's not clever at all, and implies that its writer has no grasp on satire. I do not think this "satire" would even be worthy of wiping Voltaire's ass. 2. The author legitimately believes this. This is very worrying, since the author is definitely over eighteen and... [i]oh God.[/i] He may have kids. Those poor, poor kids.

OP is fgt

Your an adult in an adult society who plays VIDEO GAMES and you dislike playing with people with high voices? So now your saying playing VIDEO GAMES should be like smoking tobacco, or drinking in some countries. Now kids are gonna be growing up fantasizing about their first exotic is gonna be instead of what their first car is gonna be? Something about that doesn't seem right
-
Dude do you see parents stopping anyone from cussing or do you see that kids are learning from the older people in life no a -blam!-ing game
-
#satire?
-
What's wrong with laser tag?
-
You're not long face, gtfo
-
Lol these days 10 year olds play shit like grand theft auto. Nobody cares about the rating. Especially parents ha
-
#ChildSafety? Notice the word CHILD. Is a 15 year old a child to u? Let me give u time to think that over. How about instead of high school grads and on, we lower it to the lowest teen age, or we could just keep it the way it is now, the more simple, uncomplicated, and RIGHT way. U don't have to go and make things such a project. It's fine the way it is now. #IfItAintBrokeDontFixIt
-
Lololololololol op is so retarded. 2 years? You obviously have down syndrome
-
Lol this post is stupid. You just dont wanna play with annoying little kids.
-
The game was rated teen for a reason. If you don't like playing with kids than dont. Dumb -blam!-.
-
Is this a joke? It's called parent discretion
-
My main problems with young kids playing online games is that it teaches them to be disrespectful and to have an unjustified ego. The other day I saw some kid around 12 wearing an Advanced warfare tshirt screaming profanity at his mother at the grocery store. That shit did not fly when I was a kid. These days the snotty little punks go online and run their mouths to people that could kill them in less than a second in real life, because the internet shields them from consequences. They then take this attitude of invincibility into their daily lives and act like contemptible little shits. Even worse is that if a parent dare smack their kid to teach them a lesson, CPS comes and puts them in jail. Nothing good comes of kids playing online games.
