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.

I think this age should be all for ages. 1)It causes crazy situations. I for one do not want my child flinching and screaming away every time, but is our choice, they see somebody holding a cool sword with cool shades and that makes one cool. 2) It causes 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 how fun the game is. 3) It teaches them bad words so is the parent's fault. Every lobby I go into, there is always that person going competitive. Where did they find out? From Childhood. If there was a minimum age, you would have this problem. Children are getting crazy because of [b]NOT [/b]this game. 4) My final reason is that it causes Nostalgia. No 10 year old should be given up, they need to keep moving virtually. What happens when that transfers to the real world? That coolness would lead to much property play these games including Mailbox Baseball Laser Tag TPing Houses Egging Cars Multiple holes in the wall from being punched. ANY PERSON who do follow these rules should have good luck with a minimum 2 year sentence of MLG. Thank you all for the support you give me. I believe that a change to only 18 year olds, above and older would make the worlds youth safer and more intelligent and safe gaming.[/quote] Get rekt m8 OP cofirmed being a Dictator
