My story is not special but I'm telling it anyway :) I reached 32 when I did because of a 14 yo from england. Ran my first crota run and he showed me the ropes. He brought me back and solo'd most of crota a few times to help level my first 32. He runs sword like a champ and routinely gets more kills than I do. When we run crucible.... If I end a match at 1.2 he is 1.8. He is all around better at this game than myself and many other adults I have played with. Age doesn't matter. It's how you handle yourself that defines your character. If someone is giving you crap over your age, then ignore them or leave group. They don't matter and are likely immature themselves. We have all had bad experiences with players of all ages... you squeakers just tend to be easier to single out. Don't let them get to you. :)
