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.

Edited by jet_turbine: 6/27/2015 8:16:58 AMUmm i played teen games when i was 3 years and havnt stopped in the 16 years of my life... Right now... People know me as the most gentlemenly, respectfull, clean spirited, most nicely dressed teenager they have ever met. They also say i am the #1 person they would ever trust in any situation with their daughter (when they have one) which is big when you consider how anti masculin they are. Even making a point to stop me on the street for my well behavior... Even taking my picture for it... So clearly violence is not a problem of any sort in video games... In fact... It is proven to be theriputic for male teens and a sorce of social education for teen women. If violence occurse in these children... It is a fault of the parrenting... If a parrent does not like these actions. They must make that clear to their child. But even still, i raised myself alone in the very environment you are scared of emersing children in... And the outcome has shown only positive... That goes with all my friends Who have played A rated games at 3 years and havnt stopped... One of them is 15 with 7 recognitions of outstanding work this year alone. And a full ride to any of 4 colleges they choose. She is going for a phd in translation and interpretation for at least 7 langueges. Drops mic* A note here: all information given was used with approval of any persons mentioned. I hate to retaliate in this manor Sir/Madam. Unfortunatly, it seems as if the statements on this post are inacurate to the data provided. And it also seems as if some others will simply not do justice due to their current irritable dispisition. I apologize on their behalf, however I must stand firm with my reasoning here, as this subject is more pesonal to me what with the media picking the juicyest side rather than the correct side. To end this, i will state that your limitations and penalties for these actions are harsh in mild terms, as two years in prison (be it the parrents or dare i say it, the children.) will guarentee that the child in question would be scarred and dangerous. Thank you for your time, jet_turbine Have a nice day.
