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.

    Lol 15 years old I play all the time and I've got a 4.3 grade point average, I play baseball and soccer for my high school, and I've got a girlfriend. I also have over 500 hours in the game and have 2 34s almost 3 and I have gone flawless 9 times in trials. I'm almost at a 1 million medal score as well and I've played crucible with some of the the top crucible players in the world, like tomcatchi, who on a daily basis, streams to over 300 people on average. These top players are almost all adults and not once have they ever commented on me being annoying or having a lack of maturity to play. To sum it up for you, it's not about the age, it's about the maturity one poses. If you are a father, maybe teach your kid that a game is a game and what happens in destiny is far from what should happen in real life. Teach him that is important to be well rounded and to try and balance his time between destiny and other things. Play destiny with him and use it as a father son bonding time where you teach him about the game. [spoiler] the game isn't rated mature so I don't why u said only adults should be able to play the game[/spoiler]
