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.

coming from a seventeen year old, i would have to agree with you on some parts. Most children of today have to faint a heart or a just too retarded with their feelings. You for one are acting like a modern 12 year old who follows #WaterhasFeelings. If anything make the minimum age to watch PeeWee Hermans big Adventure at least 28. -Dirka Dirka Hunter Card

I've played M15+ rated games scince I was two and have none of these problems. I am now sixteen and am a fully functional, social, nightmare free, violence free person. Honestly, I would not worry about it. There's a reason these games are rated 15+, 18+, etc. So long as you teach your child right from wrong, teach them proper manners and social skills they will be fine. That's not to say let them play this if they are five. This could cause nightmares yes but they are FIVE. These games are for everyone to enjoy young and old. And it's this hobby that has provided much enjoyment over the years for me. Please don't restrict this wonderful activity. Gaming connects people regardless of age, race, or gender. I hope you can experience this for yourself and change your mind.

When do children see swords? You said your children would flinch at SWORDS I'm pretty sure that America doesn't have the same amount of Castles and historical museums as Britain does and the swords you see there are in glass boxes
-
FACT: Children of any age hear more bullshite and see more violence at school than in this game. Stop being a stiff. REMBER: Only YOU can help put an end to the pussification of our nations children and young adults.

I am 16 and have no issues with ptsd relating to destiny, in fact, I have great memories from shoving my sword right up Crota's ass

Go suck your own penis, choke on it, than die.

How about, you quit trying to take away freedoms from Americans. Yes they are Americans too. If their parents want to buy them the game, so be it. This is the exact reason why American is turning into a dictatorship.

I used to be in the cod community and then moved to destiny. I would be in lobbies and here the f word and n word all the time. I moved to destiny and barely ever here the n word drop.

I see kid under age playing grandthefauto 5

It's 16+ here in the UK, I think that's fair as a 17 year old the game appeals to someone of my age and intelligence I do think some young players shouldn't play as half of them don't even understand the game mechanics and "cheese" almost everything

2 year sentence? You get less for actually killing someone these days.

Try not flinching when sephiroth is erotically wielding masamune.

As far as video game violence goes, Destiny is pretty tame. I think I can trust my kids to not go out and kill people with space magic
