I just got chewed out ingame for,..

Volkodav · November 2015

...being too old to play this game.He ran with me through a delve,and when it was done he asked how old I was.I told him,and he said:
Why U Play dis game then? U be too old for it.I'm surprised you can even keep track with me.
This was after he friended me too.
So,I told him that,firstly,it wasnt made for children.Hence the rating.Then,I unfriended him. Kinda made me feel bad.
Is anyone too old for this game? I never thought about it before.

Some may be too Young for this game...

Yep the Tables have been turned...

SHADOW2KK · November 2015

No one is too old for gaming matey, do not let people like the person you described get to ya.

whiteshadow711jppreub18_ESO · November 2015

On PC I used to play with a 63 year old person, he was a dedicated healer.

You are never too old to play.. but you can be too young...

I'm inclined to think 'no', but I will concur that you can be too young for it.

Volkodav · November 2015

Thanks guys.I just felt weird. I've never thought about my age before. And I'm so old that I am like Dust in the Wind.
It just doesnt register.I'm just me.

orangeberry4 · November 2015

no your fine, just too many snot nosed kids on ahah. your never too old to play any game. look at the people who develop ESO, enough said.

Now go out there and be a good ESO citizen or a bad one that kills NPC, the choice is yours

Xendyn · November 2015

Most of the age polls have shown the forum posters, at least to generally be older.

I know few "kids" ingame, either.

I'm 54, btw.

Messy1 · November 2015

OMG, no one is too old to play games . . . Don't feel bad that player was kind of a jerk IMO.

gilbegger · November 2015

I'm a Toys-R-Us kid!

Dear · November 2015

That kid was probably too immature to play a game like this.
With all the complicated storylines and "mature" (US) content.

It's rather sad to see see such poorly trained manners.
Maybe that kid will become less stupid as they get older.

Never too old for gaming!

I am very very young in my head !

I do get it though... you get used to playing through PVE content at a particular speed & some players may be slower or faster & that gets annoying. I play with a PVE buddy that is younger than me but he loves to read all the books & texts & listen to all the voice acting whereas I often skip past it... especially if I have read/heard it before.

However a mature player would just take it in his stride & not make a comment about it... it sounds more like this guy just wanted to *** & moan about something.

ZioGio · November 2015

Hell, our guild name is "Greybeards & Gals" so there are plenty of us around.

Catblade · November 2015

I'm too old for it. Doesn't stop me

SHADOW2KK · November 2015

I am 36, and again OP, let no one say stuff like that to you.

TBH I think the game should have a intelligence/maturity test before you can play, hehe, I think that would get rid of a few undesirables from the game.

As I said no one is too old to play a game, but some are too young in ways, regardless of if a game has a age rating on it.

Yeah,but it was I who was out front diving into the fray.He was right behind me though,good player.I asked if he was kidding,and got no reply. It was when I told him hold on a second.I need a pain pill that he got weird.I broke my shoulder recently and it still hurts a lot.I can go like a *** ape through a delve though!!

RAGUNAnoOne · November 2015

I don't care about the age of people who play games within reason of course and that bias is on the younger end. this game is 17+ you could be 100 for all I care it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

1 in 43 American children today are autistic. That is up from 1 in 2000 just three decades ago, and 1 in 1000 or less in Europe today now that they have largely banned GMO and other toxins we allow in our food supply.

Modern children are also gorged on high carbohydrate "pizza, candy, and soda" diets which wreak havoc on their PH and hormone balance, then pumped full of anti psychotics (often by state mandate where the parents lose the child if they refuse to give them their Ritalin et al).

The result: Often psychotically detached, hyper-active and aggressive over-compensation. The inability to EVER be mellow and just relax and enjoy what they are doing.

Everything is a competition, a struggle, a fight, because that is what life has thrown at them and they are a product of that environment, sad to say.

I generally just step back and let them do their thing, because I'm not so old (middle 30) that I can't understand what they're going through.

Well,now,..I would "step back and let them be",but he asked ME to group for the delve. Rudeness has no excuse in my book.No matter what type of sugar or how much junk food you have eaten.Kids today have too many people making excuses for their bad behavior. So much so that they think its funny.

Well said, and agreed.

Society and its breakdown with its trickle down effect on everything.

@CrowsDescend you will love this post:P

Agreed, bad behaviour is bad behaviour.

Volkodav · November 2015

I still dont think rudeness can be just ignored if it hurts someone. Why is it so easy to allow kids to be that way? Because their parents are lazy,for the most part,and dont want to correct them,.It isnt politically correct to do so.Just pat em on the head and say,I understand.You are having problems.It's ok.
When I was their age,I didnt dare be rude or outspoken at all.I'd get my butt kicked.We were taught manners.I know,..I forgot,I'm old. XD Heehee.

Well,just dont then. I dont mean that unkindly! I only mean just laugh at the funny stuff.I was abused a lot,but man,all I remember were the funny things I got up to. The rest kinda just rolled away.

MrDerrikk · November 2015

Don't feel bad; I've been called too old to play games and I'm only 20...

...granted the game in question was Pokemon, but that's beside the point.

Some of the best gamers I know have been in their 50's, and so I'd gladly fight alongside anyone who is pleasant to be around, regardless of age. It sounds like you found a real loser there though, so I hope this experience doesn't turn you off future random help groups!

)
