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.

Only thing I agree with is the cussing but you always have that risk everywhere. Also video games dont cause school shootings people who have issues do. I believe destiny builds leadership skills and other good qualities also how many people are ACTUALLY 18 and own COD or any M rated game.

So I'm guessing you don't want children watching Tv because they need to be 13 years or older. And I guess you should keep your child inside because the world is full of everything you listed. Games don't cause violent behaviour. And laser tag? Laser tag is for all ages to enjoy, night as well usage them paint balling since you don't want them shooting lasers that [b]Don't[/b] even hurt at each other. Hell guys let's wrap our kids in bubble wrap from the neck down to ensure the best safety possible. Let's even take away their precious childhood cartoons because Tom and Jerry is way too violent for kids to watch <.<

I'm 14, I'm playing destiny, I'm right under your nose, and you know who doesn't have even the slightest bit of actual power to stop me? [b]you[/b]

It should be Teen and it is teen in the states. I know it's mature in Australia and maybe other places. But there's no blood, no sex, no drugs. Teenagers can handle aliens with guns and swords. Don't get me started on curse words either. If you've ever had to work with teenagers you would know they have no problem using the F word. 12 and under should definitely not play destiny though because they're not old enough and they're voices are extremely annoying to say the least.

0/8 I award you no points for creativity nor originality

It let's you let out your anger in a game, would you want the anger to go out on the real world? You make no sense and should be taken off the forums. The forums are for debating about the game, you can't make the laws and you don't own the world, so stop making posts that tell off people and companies, you don't own them.

How old are you? How old were you when you started playing video games?

TPing, egging, and mailbox baseball were all popular things kids did before video games were even popular. How is laser tag "desecrating property"?

Kids are stupid But they aren't that stupid
