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.

Are you seriously talking about intelligence right now. I should let you know that I play shooters almost every day, and I have gotten over a 100% in 3 of my 5 classes. I also made it into a prep school that accepted only 10% of the applicants. Just to furthermore prove my point I got a 100/100 on the DRP and scored in the 91st percentile on the SSAT.

Laughing so hard at this post. "I don't want my child flinching at the sight of a sword" this is the first post in a while to genuinely make me laugh my ass off. I guess you're the kind of parent that says "no my child can't have caffeine until he is 18"
-
Lol, gotta love everyone actually taking this post seriously.

Bad troll is bad #wheredasatireat
-
Yeah, cause putting a child in prison will make them better than playing a shooting game without blood, screams of pain, and actual people being shot...
-
*laughs doubtfully as we feed a "troll"* God I hope you're a troll.
-
They rated the game T for Teen, not M for Mature.
-
Too obvious... Bad troll is bad. 1/10 for typing a lot.

If this isn't satire then you deserve to be lobotomized. No person as incompetent as you should be allowed to walk freely through the streets.

Edited by indescribable: 6/28/2015 2:48:40 AMWhat happens when Mr Rodgers is playing Destiny alone and decides HE wants to blow some heads up in real life. There's no difference.
-
some of your arguments are what ppl use to blame real world violence on .. its not the games fault its the parents and societies fault ... saying otherwise is a copout a way to try and shirk duty to our generations youth. its our job to keep them engaged in reality and keep them on the straight as well as prep them for a life of independence. i will say for certain game types i do believe there should be certain ages under which they cannot play at all
-
How are you going to arrest someone you need proof
-
You see its not an R rated game, it says that the online experience of players isn't classified, so yeah you're gonna get that, as bad as it is, it'll always be there I would recommend an MA15+ rating, I live in Australia so its M here, although I do agree with the majority of what you have said, it is up to the parents of that child in the end

And I'm gonna vote Christian on the faith of the author. Serve your mission elsewhere Noah. Nobody cares.

Wait are you saying laser tag is property "desecration"?
-
You seem highly ignorant. I could point out the flaws behind you logic, but I don't think you function on a high enough metal level to understand. So I'll just say LOL and move on
-
I've got an idea, don't let them play it.
-
Im gonna vote full retard on this post.

[quote]So im 17. If me and my buddies are bored af we play destiny. According to you i need to be arrested for 2 years. Ok. Would u rater me and my friends when we are bored snatch your doormatt and your mailbox?[/quote] care to give me some logical reasoning?
-
Not sure if he is serious or a retard? ( he is probably just mad cuz 8 yr olds wreck him in crucible)
-
Go away I'm 13 and I have a perfectly fine life because I'm not stupid. I don't get mad because of a video game and take it out in the real world. I don't repeat curse words and my friends don't either.

This makes sense... If your kid is 5 years old
