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.

  • Before continuing, know that I'm 14. Destiny should not even be 16's. There are no bad language, no horror scenes, actually the only reason it is, is because of the blood. I mean Bungie is so convinced not to add graphic content, when you get a headshot, their head just disappears. That was disappointing. But I wish it did deserve the rating 16+. However, I agree with parts of what you are saying. Some kids playing this obviously should not be. I despise getting into a lobby only to hear some 8 year old cursing at the top of his squeaky voice into his mic for no apparent reason. Some of your points are generally unrealistic. You would have to be very traumatised or incredibly unable to handle fiction to be scared of anything in the game. Destiny of all games. Most of the underaged part of the destiny community are not mature or intelligent enough to play this. Some are though. What we should be listing is the incompetence of some parents. If your kid is not mature, don't buy the game. Simple at that. In the very least, do not bunch up people in age groups. Do not associate me with those whiny turds.
