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.

    A couple points. A) this game has very little graphic depictions of gore. B) it has no profanity in the campaign. (Words have no meaning until you gave them one. A little kid doesn't know what -blam!- is until it is given any value) C) 18+ is a rating reserved for the goriest, most profane, sexually explicity, and traumatic games. Even call of duty has an M rating as opposed to an A rating. D) minecraft has swords. Should it be 17+? E) the games cause an [u][b]immediate frustration[/b][/u]. This frustration is found in even puzzle games. Video games do not cause violence. They cause frustration for not being good at something F) little kids swear. They are immature. They most likely learned those words from their older siblings and told their friends. G) the internet actually grows social behavoir. To do raids, they need to meet people. Unless they are in patrol or doing the campaign, they will be playing with many people. This encourages social behavoirs. H) 10 year olds aren't allowed to play. It's ages 13+. I) I hope to god that this is satire with the 2+ year sentence J) how weak do you think the mind is? You are attacking a game that has no profanity (players don't count) no sexual content, no drugs or alcohol, no gore, or anything that would give it a M (mature 17+, the standard for shooter games) rating yet you want it to be rated A (adult 18+. Almost unused)
