12, 13 year old kids?????

lordfarrel · March 2007

its real funny, ppl seem to say that GW or WOW or any community they dont like is full of 12 year olds etc, not in my experience, they are full of ***holes of all ages, please don't be ageist, 30 year oldds act like children too, after all we are all playing computer games.......how mature can we be?

You post = you care, or do you need to waste your time posting about things that you care nothing about???

Maturity has nothing to do with whether one plays games of any kind or not. It has everything to do with the way you treat other people and how you accept poor treatment from others.

I don't know whether most of the problem players are 13 or 30. I do know that people who use "kiddie internet l33t speak" are more likely to be young kids than not, and these are the people that seem to cause much of the ill-will in on-line games.

You want to get respect anywhere you go in life? Earn it. Be polite, listen to people who know better than you, and don't get pissed off when someone tells you that what you're doing is wrong.

Oh, and can the "leet speak" too. It makes you look ignorant.

I'm gonna have to agree with everything that Serling just said here. Especially the bit about canning the l33t sp34k, because that makes you look like a 12 or 13 year old.

You'd be surprised at how many of these "l337-speakers" are in their middle to late 20s

I do agree that many of the players who do speak like their are 12-13...

Find a mature MMO to play, Age of Conan or Darkfall, both are big PvP titles on the way out soon. I have played GW for some time and have quit many times due to the community of trash kids. A very large part of the prob is trash parents that bring up trash kids. I have played 2 other free MMO's such as Space Cowboy Online and Silkroad, the communitys are bad but not as bad as GW. The Dev's that made GW know how bad it is, thats why GW has no official website forums and they make it a pain to report somone. I would rank GW community a 0. I would without a doubt go pay to play, you can at least page a GM and get somoe kicked from the game. I played WoW for a over a year, I quit after the new upgrade though, I loved to page GM's and get lil foul mouthed, trash talking kids kicked. The other day I put GW back on my comp only to have taken it off after an hour of playing from the crap community.

I dont care what age they are, as long as their a good player.

p.s. I dont think kids should be allowed on teamspeak until their balls have dropped.

I'm playing MMOG with friends I know for years. I rarely use general chat, to avoid nifty random conversations. In my case I am not bothered by the community. I just ignore them.

Toadmonkey · March 2007

Playing late in the evening seems to remove some of the immature chat. The young teens are in bed-1:00 AM Pacific time.

However, not as many people are playing. Sucks looking for groups at the small hours at night.

There always have to be a down side.

brownspank · March 2007

That can get irritating, especially in mission runs. Players who choose to go off on his/her own and try to be a know-it-all, only to get slain and accumulate DP. Players who leave in the middle of a mish at the slightest sign of failure. Players who trigger the quest ending, even after everybody warned him/her not to because they want to do the bonus first. Players who cause the mish to fail, and blame the rest of the group, anyway.

You'd be accurate to say they're 12-year-olds, either in body, or in mind.

I'm sorry if I'm posting this after some huge date(not sure how to put it) gaps, hehehe, but I have to tell you I'm a 16 year old and most of the people I play with are way much older than me, no offence(sorry if the spelling is wrong it's pretty late where I am and I just came from a trip, so bare with me), but most of them get along with me just fine, some of them even think I'm of their age, but when I tell them of my real age they go "REALLY?!!!!?", in my opinion it just depends on the person really, most of them are well excited to put it and most of them just want to get to the so-called "good" part, I've had some trouble my self with PUG's, but most of the time its 'cause my computer has sucky RAM(256MB, OH NO!!!), but theres really no other way to put it, were still kids, we learn as we go, so might as well have to put up with us, show us something good, we follow it and vice versa.

PS. I'm sorry if I sound like one of those councilor people or a mom, hahahaha and I also agree with Lazlow

VGJustice · April 2007

miggy619, I also find that Lazlow is correct. It's not what age they actually are, it's what age they act like. If you say that people are surprised to find out you're pretty young, then more power to ya. If someone can compose themselves like a civilized adult then I don't care if they're 9 or 90.
