Just out of curiosity, how many of us have kids old enough to play Destiny? What sort of rules do you have for multiplayer, or screen time in general? My son is 12, and loves Destiny. I don't allow him to play with a mic on, so it limits his ability to play the weekly/nightfall/raid content. I want him to experience the full game, but not at the cost of some random asshole ruining his limited time to enjoy the game. Do any of you guys have the same problem? He doesn't know it yet, but we just upgraded him to an Xbox one. That means he can play with me when I'm free, but it also means he has zero kids on his friends list when we fire it up after Xmas. How do you guys help your kids navigate this stuff?
I figured if there's any group out there that could help me figure this out with him, it's you guys.
Thanks Dudes.

I reserved 2 copies of Destiny for my son and I (he is 10 almost 11) before the release as well as dlc. Hoping this would be a game we both could play for years together. We allow him to play any teen rated game and some mature (ie Borderlands). He hasn't played Destiny as much as I thought he would. He does have other games he is currently playing where I am focused on Destiny. We both have headsets but only use when running together or with friends. Even I refuse to use chat when soloing. That includes running crucible, random strikes or at the tower. Unless you are on my friends list (which includes DoD members) I don't voice chat or accept game invites. My son will solo crucible as well, he is better at it then me. But he to doesn't use voice unless running with me or friends. I just don't want to hear some kid or ass**** cussing or saying how better they are. I play for fun and enjoy the game and want to keep it that way.
