Hate Against Kids (Rant)
Hello I am a [u]13 year old[/u] gamer and I play [b]Destiny[/b]. When I join someone or go on [b]raids [/b]I am Called "[i]Squeaker[/i]".
I am apparently someone to laugh at and abuse for being [u]2 years[/u] younger then another person. About 1 in 15 people are nice and don't care. When I need help with a Raid I invite people and ask people for help, then I am abused because I am [u]13 [/u]and have a voice that is kind of high.
I play with[u] 6-9 year old's[/u] if they need help... most other people just bully them and ruin the experience of Communication on this awesome [b]MMO[/b]. I love [b]Destiny [/b]it is fascinating and enjoyable... but about [b]70%[/b] of the community are bullies towards "Little Kids". If you don't want to play with someone because they have a voice that you absolutely can't stand, don't be a Bully just say "Sorry I really don't want to do this... I want to do other things" as appose to hurting feelings and being a dick.
You were a kid once whats wrong with it?
If they are screaming in the microphone and being really Annoying then give them a chance tell them your gonna kick them if they keep going, then if they keep going don't retaliate just be chill and say "Hey you had your warning... sorry your being kicked".
The thread is about people being bullies after they say a few words in a high voice. Also if they try to be funny don't laugh and say that wasn't really that funny try something else. About 4 years ago I got Xbox with COD and I did these things to so I can understand why people gave them this reputation. I feel it should be changed a little bit. Fighting fire with fire never works out it's just a waste of time.
If this is changed I would think [b]Destiny [/b]would be more inviting and people under [u]14 [/u] would enjoy it a lot more!
Also shut up about ratings. Look at the movies people sneak in all the time your not gonna stop anything.
In Australia you are allowed to play it so you can't say crap about kids from Aussie. Think of something without involving ratings or do you need to rely on them?
[spoiler]Australia has different spelling and grammar and I am 13 get off my case.[/spoiler]

I'm normally quite alright with kids, as long as they can keep it clean and don't shout all the time then that's fine by me.
-
Not a bully here though I tend to immediately quit raids and the like if I am paired with one....
-
Just a note- Destiny is rated PEGI 16. The Games Rating Authority also mentions the “real-time interaction with other players”, which always carries the risk of exposure to bad language or abuse.
-
This is a teen rated game? You're playing with 6-9 year olds? They have bad parents... Just because teens can/want to play and Bungie removed any red blood to get the teen rating to make more money from a wider audience doesn't change the fact the natural audience is older gamers. Most of the people I play with are mid thirties and we feel comfortable shooting things and talking about adult subjects in our chat. The one time I dropped in to a session hosted by 15 year olds they spent the whole time acting like the 'big I am' and calling each other pussies. No offense I'm sure you are going to be a fine person but most of the Destiny community is just over all the things you want to do and talk about in the chat. We can't relate to you so playing with you is awkward.
-
Bullying exists in every game, so it´s not exclusive to Destiny... but still I feel sorry that you have to experience this. As others have posted, some kids your age (and younger!) can be insanely good. My only problem is that, in general, kids tend to be more aggressive towards other fellow players who may not be doing as well as expected. The one time that someone went all out against someone in the Crota raid was clearly a kid, and we were all asking him to stop.
-
I don't like playing with "squeakers" they get annoying after a while. I play Destiny to relax and have fun, not to baby sit. I like to play with players around my age or even older. The ages of my friend list consists of 16-38.
-
I've played with younger kids that show my ass up in raids. Hell, one of the father's let his kid be swordbearer and he kicked arse with it.
-
I think you are right, people don't have to be assholes all the time!!! Look for a clan/team that you can play with regular. I haven't played with randoms for a while now, don't miss it at all...

We had an incident once where people were getting knocked off due to PS4 patches. We were saving their spots for when they returned because of those patches. Some little squeeker came in and we politely asked him to leave and he somehow became leader just as I was finishing the HM Abyss run for Crota. He booted everyone out in typical squeeker fashion. I was so tempted to internet bully him but someone said, "Would you do the same thing when you were that age?" And I replied with, "No, because I had morals at that age. Delete him from your list or you're never coming in our raids again." Squeeker was promptly deleted but some other moron had him added. I think what that little kid did was considered griefing and the funny part is he's never allowed in anyone's raids because of such actions. If he acted like a normal human being then maybe someone would just run the Abyss for him as a gesture of goodwill. I think if he ever joined my raids again my mom will get scared and say “You’re movin’ with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air.” I whistled for a cab and when it came near The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought, “Nah, forget it. Yo home to Bel-Air!” I pulled up to the house about 7 or 8 And I yelled to the cabby yo holmes smell ya later Looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel-Air.

I'm 14 and my voice isn't that low I just tell people I sound younger and they don't care I a âłrïght player mainly I play with a guy called vDnorth great player and if people invite I go but just don't talk and don't tell people how to play

20 RepliesWhen you're 24 and you just got done putting your kid to sleep, the last thing you want is to get on destiny and play with more kids.
-
Online play should be an unlockable feature when you're about 15
-
I don't think most adults WANT destiny to be more inviting to younger children. That is the reason the gaming industry is dumming down games to be more like COD, where there is less of a skill gap so noobs feel MLG.
-
Lol I'm 14 and last year as 13 people thought I was 18
-
7 RepliesGame is rated mature, you shouldn't be playing it anyway.
-
It's ok. Age has nothing to do with it. Some adults don't listen either.
-
People under 14 aren't supposed to be enjoying this game.
-
God, I hope you never went on Search and Destroy while you played cod aged 9...
-
I'm 21 N the Only time I game with a kid is with my 11 yr old brother . He's almost as big as me
-
6 RepliesWhen i was 9 i got daddys belt and not a fkn Xbox with Cod.

Firstly the game isn't designed to be played by people under 16. That's its UK age rating. I know that nobody cares about age ratings and everyone sees worse things in the news than in video games eh ? but, without wanting to sound rude, I really wouldn't want to team up with 12/13 year olds. It's not personal it's just not for me. If a 6 or 7 year old was playing Destiny I would wonder about the parents attitudes. Okay, it's not a blood soaked ultra violent game full of constant swearing, dismemberment and body parts going everywhere but I would be more like thinking "isn't it past their bedtime ?" Or "don't they have other things to do at such s young age ?" I fully accept that some kids are wise and mature beyond their years and that's great but (in my experience) far too many act all tough and street smart and won't listen to anything you tell them because (a) I am old and past it and (b) they have played far more video games than I have. If I am the only one who finds playing with 12/13 year olds, even anonymously, slightly uncomfortable, then so be it but as I said, it's not a personal issue I have with any individual. Happy Gaming!!

I started my clan almost a decade ago. Back then, nearly all of my members were young and had high-pitched voices. Now, they are all incredibly loyal, good and honest men of honorable repute. I say, bear with these young people. One day you'll look back and realize that you have had a positive impact on their lives - Unless you're a churlish and feckless wastrel with the gentility of a syphilitic donkey. I wouldn't trade that feeling for anything.
-
yea it happens i always notice it in raids, i personally don't have anything against young players but there are people out there that do and thats honestly because they have low self esteem so putting young kids down makes them feel happy about their life quite sad..... I hope the destiny community can take this post into consideration because it really is an issue specially communication being a major part of this game. STOP THE HATE
-
I remember being called a squeaker. Time passes and then you just get called worse things.
-
No hate for squeakers here, I generally prefer playing with people closer to my age just so we can talk about whatever and I don't feel guilty for having a Sailors mouth. That said, if it's possible look for people closer to your age. No matter how old you are that will generally make things easier
-
Age matters most to the young. By the time you are fourth you start to care less about a persons age... I have friends who are 20+ years younger and 20+ years older. Who gives a shit?
