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.

You sir are retarded

Lol a child should go to jail for 2 years
-
This isn't going to do anything. You can say whatever you want on the internet.
-
What about the people that are mature for their age?
-
Lmao I'm 16 and I'm not running into schools with guns and bombs if you're not mature enough to play a game then I understand that but you have to go through everyone's point of view
-
That should be a law. If you're not 18+ and you play a shooter you should go to jail for 2 years. It would clean up a lot of the shooters from these annoying squeakers.

-blam!- shit cock balls

I cut off every ones head:) [spoiler]im two years old[/spoiler]

Should have a 2 year sentence for playing destiny underage??? Your kidding right? Lmao [spoiler]Kids play COD[/spoiler]
-
Yes, because everyone regularly shows each other their swords [spoiler]im 7, btw[/spoiler]
-
You would rather have a child doing illegal things? Because where I come from egging cars/houses is illegal.
-
Satire. Anybody who plays Destiny that is under 18 years old should be arrested with minimum a 2 year sentence. That one got me.

I am 14. I admit it, and I'm proud! This game though... My life has taken a turn for the worse since I played this game. Now, every time I see my friends and family with swords, I flinch and scream out of the PTSD this game has caused me. I have about 2 daily conversations because I am scared of people IRL thanks to this game. I have adopted many inappropriate words, like (excuse my language) crap and darn, which have led to many angry rampages. Also, because of this game, I partook in the terrible criminal act of... [spoiler]laser tag!!![/spoiler] That's right, you heard me, playing this game has led to me playing the horrible game of laser tag. Because of this game, my life has been tarnished, and I deserve a 2 year jail sentence. Please, make this game 18+ for the safety of other teens with fragile minds. Don't let anyone else end up like me!!!

Wait so if your child sees someone running at them to try and kill them with a sword or knife, you don't want them to flinch or scream? This is how I know this is a satire post.

You mix egging cars and punching MULTIPLE holes in walls? What was your childhood like? To think laser tag as destructive... 2 questions: How old are YOU to say this stuff? What destroyed your faith in children? Do you have any?

Edited by InspectorTaco: 6/29/2015 4:56:23 PMI'm 14, and what would I do with a majority of my time if I couldn't play Destiny? Actually [u]talk[/u] to people?! Goodness no, that's always frightened me. If anything that's an area I've improved upon [i]because[/i] of Destiny. Edit: Auto-correct made an, "I've" into a "he"
-
Dude, a TWO YEAR SENTENCE for playing a game that doesn't even have swearing. That is just idiotic. I'm 13 and I learned all of my swears back in my playground days.
-
One thing: family settings will fix literally all of it
-
Lol -blam!- you man! It's on the parents! If the kid understands its fake, then it's all good. You just gotta calm down.

Edited by DownerDrow: 6/29/2015 4:55:09 PMI don't even care if it's a troll I just want to let everyone know. Mature rating is actually 17+ all of you think it's 18. There is a rating above M called AO for Adult Only, which is 18+ I'm not kidding Google the ESRB ratings
