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.

  • You take this wayyyyy too seriously. Everyone is different. So not all kids will be manipulated that easily. In fact, I din't think there should be experts on child behavior. The personalities of children are so different and so many children are in the world. The experts seem like they forget that children have a brain and feelings and thoughts just like them selves. A lot of it depends on the wealth of their family. If they're poor and their parents don't have much to offer at all besides food, water, and shelter then they could grow up to start playing games like CoD, Battlefield, etc if they would be able to afford it. And their parents didn't really teach them much about right from wrong. The children that have a nice life in the suburbs or on a farm or in an apartment might start getting these games from ages 6-13, but they're parents teach them to read the bible and teach them right from wrong. The rich families could have a 5 year old wanting CoD and their parents really din't care what they do and buy all the CoD games for them and the kids grow up and not know much about right from wrong. Not really every living condition for children. There's many more. The biggest thing though is the child's mind.
