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.

My main problems with young kids playing online games is that it teaches them to be disrespectful and to have an unjustified ego. The other day I saw some kid around 12 wearing an Advanced warfare tshirt screaming profanity at his mother at the grocery store. That shit did not fly when I was a kid. These days the snotty little punks go online and run their mouths to people that could kill them in less than a second in real life, because the internet shields them from consequences. They then take this attitude of invincibility into their daily lives and act like contemptible little shits. Even worse is that if a parent dare smack their kid to teach them a lesson, CPS comes and puts them in jail. Nothing good comes of kids playing online games.
