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.

  • 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.
