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.

What the hell are you talking about? This game has no blood, what the hell kind of trauma can a kid get from destiny?, and are you seriously suggesting jail time for playing destiny underaged? I'd hate to see your reaction if you ever saw a 10 year old playing grand theft auto. This game is tame compared to some others on the market currently. Oh and the cursing in lobbies complaint is explained on the back of the case where you see "online interactions not rated by the ESRB." You have no complaints and you have no case to make here. Bad b8 m8 you get a str8 0/8 with the right to receive much h8 for such bad b8.

I'm sorry you feel the need to parent others children and that you feel as though a 2 year prison sentence is viable for playing a video game. Please refrain from attempting to tell others how to parent their children and ...[spoiler]CONGRADULATIONS!!!!!!![/spoiler] [spoiler]you[/spoiler] [spoiler]have[/spoiler] [spoiler]been[/spoiler] [spoiler]muted!!!!!!!!:):):)[/spoiler]

So why should this stop me, I'm mature enough to pick right from wrong. I'm not anti social, traumatized, curse, etc. So what's the deal if you are underage you're underage but your maturity truly defines if you should play the game.

I don't think there's a true connection or correlation of video games and violent behavior. Parents should talk to their kids and explain the difference between gaming and reality. Here's a link from a study http://econtent.hogrefe.com/doi/full/10.1027/1016-9040/a000164

I disagree for me I played gta before grade school and I'm a normal man of society I go to college almost everyday of the week I do understand that it is a problem and I blame the parents they think everything their kids do is funny I knew that if I didn't listen I would get in trouble kids now a days tell their parents to shut up and do whatever they want that's the problem

Your final reason is stupid. In a video game violence is glamorized and made to seem fun, but unless your kid is mentally unwell he will know that in real life violence is not to be taken lightly. Chances are if he sees someone get shot in real life he will still be pretty traumatized, and if he's given a gun and unsupervised it's likely he won't go on a fifteen kill spree.

Lmfao @ 2 years jail time. You almost had me up until that point. Nice satire.

You have to be 17+ to buy destiny why make it 18 to play?
-
Well im 18 right now but i play way mire than 4 hours but i do so cuz my pharents arnt the mist livabuly people and i just sit here and have my fun trying to stay out of trouble

Anyone under the age of 12 playing Destiny should be shot in real life. Fox news is right and it's corrupting our youth. Such a young brain exposed to such corruption will surely turn out to be a bum liberal wellfare recipient or a shool shooter. Kill them before they grow.
