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.

    1 I've been playing video games since I was 3. Do I flinch when someone opens their mouth cause it looks like Pac-Man? No. 2 How does it make someone antisocial? My best friends play Xbox with me and we've grown together cause of it. 3. There's Parental Settings for -blam!-s sake. If you're scared they're gonna find a way to find curse words then don't show them the Internet in general till they're in their teens. 4. "Video games cause violence". Have I gone to shoot up a school after playing Call of Duty? No. Do I want to punch somebody to death after playing Mortal Kombat? No. Do I want to assassinate someone after playing Assassin's Creed? No. There's been studies done by scientists that show video games [b]DO NOT CAUSE VIOLENCE.[/b] There's also the [b]ESRB rating system[/b]. If parents feel like they want to let their child play video games then why are you getting in their way? They took the risk of letting their children into somewhere they might learn inappropriate things. I know OP wants children to grow up in a good environment, but the world isn't hugs and kisses.
