Playing Destiny Under Age
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.

1 ReplyI can agree with 2 and 3 but 1 and 4 is ridiculous. I've played games since I was about 3-5 years old. I played GTA Vice City when I was 6 (no, my mother was not a bad parent) and I'm perfectly fine. Honestly, I think that was one of the best decisions ever. I'm now going to college to be a game developer and I might not have gotten the inspiration to have a direction with my life without that.

Edited by The Space Nib: 6/26/2015 9:23:28 PMMe and my friends play with this one young lad all the time. He's 8 but he is really quiet and polite. One of the few squeakers I would ever associate with. [spoiler]I also believe that you have a problem and should step away from the controller for awhile.[/spoiler]

1 ReplyIs this a joke???? And also what support every one disagrees lol

Woah woah woah woah. 18 and over? REALLY?! The game isn't that bad, there isn't any blood, unless you play crucible then you only kill aliens, no swearing in the dialog, (yeah others swear but maybe kids shouldn't play with random people they don't know) and the only scary race is the hive. All of those points warrant the 13+ rating. But 18+? What's next, Super Mario Bros getting a 13+ rating?

3 RepliesNice b8 m8. I've been playing shooters since I was 8. I'm a perfectly normal human being. And you know where those kids hear those bad words?? Any area where there are other people.

All four of your reasons are incredibly stupid. I sincerely hope you don't have kids. My daughter plays. She's quite a bit less than 18. She's not violent, doesn't hear any more or less bad words than she does at school or home, and isn't randomly terrified of swords (although a little fear of someone brandishing a sword doesn't sound dysfunctional to me). She has lots of friends. Making sweeping generalizations about other people is a sure fire sign of ignorance. If your kids would be horribly fcuked up by playing destiny, keep them away from it. That doesn't have any bearing on what anyone else should do.
