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.

(It makes me think of a 2 year old start playing monopoly and the police just bust in and arrest him) -In my eyes I don't see how they could see shooting an alien being = go into the real world and shoot people. I mean, if they were REALLY impressionable or they are like >5 I could see, but if they can understand most things and are actually taught that crime is a bad thing, there shouldn't be a problem. -There's really no difference between watching and playing (besides your physically doing it). A lot of TV shows today are like all about sex and crime and murder, I don't even really watch TV anymore. Blaming VGames, you should blame TV as well. Also, if they didn't have the game/couldn't play it, they would most likely YouTube it (when I don't have a game, I usually watch it here) -The cursing and knowledge about things someone my age shouldn't really know about wasn't from Video Games, Television, or my Parents. I was from others in the real world. People out at places like stores or food places mention this stuff all the time. Now, I learned some other stuff from 3rd grade when some kids were telling everybody about these things. I assume that hey had gotten it from TV, but I can't make that assumption. TL;DR: [spoiler]There are many reasons to restrict the age limit. Even though the idea is understandable, the punishment does not fit the crime and there are many reasons against it.[/spoiler] And also, I may be slightly biased as I am only 13, but by the looks of the Internet, I'm one of the 'rare' ones. --- Edit for making the TL;DR a spoiler instead. 2nd Edit for adding another point. --- Thanks for looking at it my way, and in no way did I mean to disrespect your side of the idea.
