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.

    Well if you ever noticed, the game IS NOT INTENDED for ten year olds! It has an ESRB rating for a reason you idiot! That's bad parenting at its finest! Why would you buy your underaged kid a video game that has violence (knowing beforehand) and then complain about it being not suitable for them? Like, obviously! That's YOUR fault for putting a child in that position and YOU are guilty and NOT the community. ESRB ratings do not cover the online interactions as well, only the single player activities. I hope this is a satirical post before my head explodes at the idiocy of this post. I'm 21 and it isn't my job or duty to refrain myself for an underaged child. That's like putting a 12yr old in a strip club and then yelling at the owners! YOU DENSE MORON.

              • I agree all E rated and higher games should be 18+ and the parents and the children should get the death sentence if someone in the house underaged plays a game

                    Lol I say 15 plus, why? because I'm sick of scrubby useless squeakers. There is a T for Teen for a reason though, 9 year-olds shouldn't be playing. Also stop trying to powder coat the next generation of kids, it won't help them at all.

                      Next he's going to tell Nintendo that Mario is to violent then he's going to try to get baseball banded for kids 18 and under because the baseball bat looks like a sword and a penis combined.

                      • 1. I got more traumatized seeing this shitty post. No one starts crying like a bitch when they see a sword in real life (OP did though). In fact most kids have fun fighting with swords and water guns with their friends (which OP didn't have) 2. Antisocial? The -blam!-? My best friends play Xbox along with me and we get along better than friends we don't play Xbox with. I actually made more good friends on Xbox that don't do shit behind your back to you. 3. You're pretty stupid if you think no one has heard a curse word never in their lives. Teachers used them when I was back in school. 4. Where the hell is your proof? Violence comes from [b][u]MANY[/u][/b] sources. There have been so many studies showing they don't cause violence but can cause more aggression. So many kids bought GTA V but I don't hear on the news that they have been shooting up schools. Arrested for playing a video game that is not their age? Anyone with common sense would know that is -blam!-ing next to impossible to track every single twelve year old that bought call of duty cause they asked their mom for it. And you know how much -blam!-ing money and resources would go to have those twelve year olds in jail for 2 years? [b]A SHIT TON[/b] Dumbest shit I've seen all day. Actually all week

                        • I'm 13 and none of my friends are violant so I don't know what you are talking about unless you grew up in a bad neighborhood with bad violant people that played video games and I know curse words from adults who say them

                        • How does a sword cause traumatic issues? If they're flinching away from stuff they see, that's normally due to abuse, not a game. Anti-social my ass. I've made countless friends playing this game. I've never had a game that made my friends list swell so quickly. As for being scared of every person they see? Again that sounds like abuse, not a game. Right there is the parents fault, full stop. If you allow your child to get away with that, that is you being a bad parent. If you allow your child to think he can get away with that, he'll do it more and more. Instead of blaming a game, teach your child it's not a good thing to do and that it will cause him trouble. Are you republican by any chance? Games teach co-ordination, time your reflexes etc. I've played countless gory and violent games. Hell I was playing resident evil when I was 3. Have I turned into a violent fiend who damages other peoples property? No Have I tortured small animals and killed them? No, in fact, if I saw someone doing that, they'd be next in line. Have I murdered innocent people? No. Video games do not cause violence unless that person already has mental issues. If a child is getting violent over pixels on the screen, that is the parents fault for not being strict enough. A child screaming over a video game, sounds like a spoiled brat to me. So, how about, instead of blaming a game for your first world issues. You act on them and do something about them? Oh I forgot, its a lot easier to whine and moan about your issues to other people and hope someone else fixes them for you. Rather than acting on it and fixing the situation yourself.

                          • Why don't you pull that penis out of your ass and grow a set. Games don't make violent people, violent people make violent people. And since when is violence a bad thing. It has solved more problems than talk ever could.

                          • I'm 80% sure your trolling and the whole violence thing has been debunked 100s of times. Yes younger players should be restricted from mature games but a jail sentence? no a fine to a store/parent who provides them would be fine.

                          • So this game is causing children to do things that children have done forever? And may I say in less frequency because they are probably playing videogames and not so bored out of their mind that they feel the need to destroy property. I have been playing games all of my life and everyone I play with that I know in real life are not violent. Don't go off blaming games on peoples bad behavior because as a society we have become less violent with the development of videogames.
