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.

I played waw at 6 with my brother he helped me learn it was a game and we loved it it was some of the only time we spent with each other and it was fun. Games are a let go from the world a refresh. I don't know about you but I don't play games with the shear intention to murder. I play to laugh enjoy life violence is violence you talk about your child being afraid of violence or shielding them from bad words guess what happens when that kid goes to school. I guaranteed hat people cuss at that school. And traumatic experiences? I'm guessing you watch the news so you know that the world is cruel and violent so stop trying to hide that. And you think video game killing makes people want to murder others? Anyone who's anyone knows a game is a game and the world is the world there different. If someone does kill someone claiming it was because of a game there was a problem with them anyways. Granted I mean no disrespect by this also I'm 13.
