There should be a fee for kids under 17 years of age.
I want everybody to play Destiny, I really do. But it is a fact that children are immature and because of this, they often ruin the game for other players. It's not because they are bad people, I'm not saying that. It's because they are emotional, hot-headed, they think they know more than they do. This often causes a lot of conflict with other players who just want to have fun. The irrationality and immaturity of the children will clash with the seasoned gaming veteran.
Now, I'm not saying kids should be banned from Destiny, I want them to enjoy it to. What I'm saying is that bungie takes measures to encourage the parents of children to supervise them and to teach them proper manners in online gaming. How does bungie do this you may ask? The kinect and playstation 4 camera are more than capable of reading faces and matching them up with public databases if the proper software is written for both of them. The cameras scan the children and match them up with a public record. If the child is found to be under the age of 17, an additional monthly fee of $10 will be required to allow them to play. If the fee is not paid, then they cannot play.This requires that the parents invest in the child, so the parents will not want their kids to screw it up, or else they risk being banned. Which would be a waste of money.
Now why 17 you may ask? Well, 17 is the biological age of maturity. It is at this time that the process of puberty begins to end. Hormones are released into your body that allow for more rational thinking. Before this happens, it is literally impossible to be mature. Sure, some kids may act mature, but that's because they've been supervised by their parents. Some may even believe that they are mature, even going so far as to say [quote]I'm 13/14/etc and I don't swear or do any of those things.[/quote] but that's because the way they view reality is skewed.
Sure, some adults may act immature, but this is because they have to deal with immature kids. Science has shown that high pitched noises activate certain instincts in adults. It has to do with protecting the young. When babies cry, adults automatically want to do something to get the baby to stop crying. This is the instinct high pitched noises appeal to. It makes adults irrational and emotional. This is not something that contributes to a friendly gaming environment. So if you encounter a grown person who appears to be acting immature, it's probably because they just encountered a kid.

1 ReplyYou do realise that kids will just unplug the kinnect or move and then just fake there age. It won't make a difference. Most parents don't even care if there kids are playing R18 (in Australia) and will just let them do what ever the hell they want. Anyway, there is no proximity chat, only chat between fire teams so if you don't want to deal with annoying kids screaming, then don't add them to your fire team.

A person could be considered to be immature for watching a certain show or playing video games. We know as people who play games that it does not show immaturity. All that changes for a person with a bad attitude when they reach 17 is maybe their pitch of their whining

2 RepliesEdited by Dr Valorous: 8/17/2014 12:45:53 PMTo me age is determined by how mature someone is (sounds weird). I've met quite a few younger kids that are more mature than adults. I've also met a lot of young kids who greatly out-perform many adults in video games.

4 RepliesYes. Lets just charge every family with a kid who wants to play destiny an extra $10 that sounds ridiculously smart

I've seen worse ideas.

That makes no sense because none of us can make money to pay it

I require you to pay me with your older sister/MILF

Let them play....easier kills to get in the crucible

Pretty sure that the PS4 or Xbox One spying on minors without parental consent is illegal. Good thought, broken concept.

6/10 for originality

6 Replies$10? Are you insane? We payed 60 bucks just like you, and not all kids are immature, I don't use a mic, I'm 13 and I've never cussed, and I am NOT hotheaded. Your idea for the kinect, completely illegal, just because the government does it doesn't mean that everyone can. YOU should be charged $10 for every month that you live.

wow Mr. long face your wisdom is infinite, this is is a great idea!

Everybody who can't see that this is a troll post is incredibly slow.... Unless everybody is using counter sarcasm, in which case I lose.

Also, adding another fee won't change anything. Children aren't paying this stuff on their own, Mommy and Daddy are paying for them. And they will continue to do so as long as the kid stfu and let's mommy and daddy watch the latest episode of honey booboo, without getting on their nerves. what a time to be alive. ._.

1 ReplyEdited by Dracuur: 8/17/2014 12:37:30 AMWell think about it like this, i am 16 years old and naturally disagree with you becuase of what you said, but some people were forced to grow up faster than many others becuase of the circumstances of their upbringing, hey it might even be a personality trait. You shouldnt genaralise all under 17's into that category, while they are the majority, why should the minority have to suffer for the idiocy of others?
