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.

1) I would run from someone with a sword. That's pretty scary especially if the sword is big. And they look menacing. 2) Anti social behaviors I can see. But every game does that. But communication of any form in my book is not being anti social. There's different definitions of social. You can be outside and participating or inside and chatting. 3) In this game I've only ever heard Damn be said. I dont believe games cause children to cuss. It could be other games or their parents or other role models or friends. 4) there is violence in the game. It says that on the case. But there's violence in call of duty and 10 year olds play that. This game is T for Teen. Which is 13 and up. Now that penalty? 2 year jail sentence? No. No No.
