I know I've posted this before, but a moderator accidentally moved it.
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 too. 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.

Thy posts are magnificently saltproducing and the tears of those filthy 12-year old peasants are enough to water the whole Africa. Keep posting thy saltproducers and making our days filled with tears and joy. Let us all take a moment to pray to Longface, the Salt God. Amen.

Encountered some kid on atheon last week, we were on our 2rd times vengeance and nearly had atheon down. This kid decides to drop the bubble sheild to go and melee atheon with the relic, causing 5 of us to get hit and die as he didnt tell us his plan. He gets killed, calls us all losers and blames us for dying and then rage quits. I know nowadays atheon hard isnt that hard, so if he had mentioned he wanted to do this we would have exited the bubble to safety and continued to down atheon. People who act selfishly and mess up just annoy me, so yeh make them pay a fee

1 Replyi know this is horrible to say and i know hes just making a joke but..... for some reason this keeps clicking in my head telling me this doesnt sound like that bad of an idea sure the database would be a huge undertaking and actually not required a valid parental ID would be better because not many people have kinects id also lower the price to 5 every month im gonna get flak for this but... i support this idea, even if it is satire

5 RepliesThere should be a fee for anyone to play destiny that thinks that developers have to or should cater to their every whim/want/desire/demand.

4 RepliesNo thanks. As an avid destiny player of an age of less than 15 I would like to tell you what you just posted is stereotypical and bordering on offensive. Yes there are the ten year olds who cry when you kill them, that is inevitable. I personally take manners as one of the foremost important things in my experience, even though to me I am talking to a voice and picture on the TV. To say ALL the people under 17 should pay money for a game they already paid for is just ridiculous. You are condemning some members of the community that is bungie and destiny for crimes committed by your stereotypical child. In fact, in my experience I have been more often offended by an adult with no manners than a child with no manners. Listen. Here's my question for you. Do you want to pay 10$ a month? No. You don't. Yet you are just as entitled to it as us. Yes there are immature children, but there is immaturity in adults also, so we are equally as worthy (for want of a better word) of this payment as you are.

3 RepliesMr. longface, what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
