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.

    Im 13 years old and I've been playing this game non-stop since day one. Beaten all the raids, every nightfall since launch, I own every other exotic except for Gjallarhorn (cries internally), and I can go on killing sprees with the God Gun that is No Land Beyond. Ive put in several hundred, maybe even thousands of hours into this game, and maybe at least a week reading the Grimoire ALONE. I spend at LEAST 5-6+ hours a day playing Destiny during summer vacation, and all of this BS about kids learning bad words from a GAME?!?! Your kids will learn about [b]PROCREATION FROM KIDS YOUNGER THAN THEM AT SCHOOL. [/b]Adding to that, you're saying that this game will cause PTSD? What kind of a retarded parent are you? By that logic, anytime they see something a sword or gun in [b][i][u]CARTOONS AND TV[/u][/i][/b], they should be having mental breakdowns. And BTW, anti-social? Games like this can open up ways to make new friends, finding people who share interests in a game in particular, in this case [i]Destiny.[/i] I have met at least 5 people IRL just because we both play Destiny. Conclusion? I LAUGH at your post and you should rethink your choices in life.
