    12 is nothing, I heard this 7 year old talking to a khajiit player saying things like: "kitty!" "You're fat. I want to punch your belly in". It was mildly amusing and disturbing at the same time...even more so when I went AFK to use the bathroom to come back and his character was crouched at my orcs groin in an inappropriate WTF way.

    That's why I play in off peak hours. I was stalked by a naked lion in Vulhel Guard the other night and had no option but to jump, summon my mount or run, though he followed me all over the area by the manor/bank. If I stopped to call up a window he was either running me through with his big sword or doing inappropriate things behind my back. I turn off chat and had no mic near anyway. I assume it was some juvenile male trying to make himself important on my statuesque altmer. I kind of resent having to go hide to log out but it is not uncommon to be attacked by players anytime I log in.

    Kids don't bother me nearly as much as the racially charged language i hear in zone chat on xbox NA.

    Were you in Auridon when these two guys were trying to get people to sign a petition to have the blacksmith forge used for cooking minorities?

    Quite a few of the discussions & language (text) thrown around zone chat in certain zones, makes adult gamers look fairly bad at times. Assuming the said players are adult.

    Age means nothing.

    My 8 year old son hasn't expressed an interest in making a character but I would let him if he wanted.

    He would also be a more polite and mature person than 90% of the people I hear in area chat and a better player than most of the pugs I have grouped with.

    I haven't necessarily had problems with kids yet, except they always leave their mics on. The people I have problems with are parents who keep their mics on while their kids are screaming in the background. At least mute your mic...

    He might act more mature because you know how to raise a child. 90% of adults, at least in the US, don't.

    I tend to think the opposite. So many kiddies running around on Halo. But that was years ago. Now kids are spoiled and have both systems.

    I don't hate the players per se, I hate the influence they have on the series. The dumbing down of the series is directly attributable to the devs chasing younger demographics. Screw that.

    The console community is pretty different from PC. I was not teabagged once until I Console transferred and went to PvP it is everywhere. That and you have to tell random groups to clear the mic 24/7 and they still wont listen half the time talking about the stupidest and most useless things while they all try to yell louder speaking over each other. I run with my guildmates and only recruit players who can listen as a result. Kids and adults.

    You know, it's funny I read this thread yesterday because just last night I was playing and there was these two younger kids in area chat in a town getting harassed by older people just because they sounded super young. I think one was trying to sell a motif or something and these people just kept jumping down his throat because they didn't like the price he was selling at. Like I said before, I could care less if kids play the game, but I don't see why parents aren't monitoring what they're doing with a mic. Like people stated before, adults can be just as bad, if not worse, than children.

    Any one else thinking it's about time some one made a finger print blood scanner thing to actually know if a child is trying to play a M rated game.

    Still kinda shocked that kids are actually playing ESO since it isn't a cookie cutter shooting game.

    Tbh here , as a parent I'd be more concerned with children being exposed to the crap falling out of supposed adults mouths in voice chat than the other way around. If seeing someones head lopped off in a video game screws your kid up , your kid was already screwed up. We monitored what our kids watched/played until they were about 13. Then , if they wanted they could play pretty much whatever they wanted. Teach them beforehand and they wouldn't be idiots. Too bad more adults weren't taught to have some semblence of this thing called class.

    I usually play off peak as well, not to avoid such nonsense, it's normally the only time I can play. I encountered a guy harassing a girl after she spoke saying her voice is sexy and other inappropriate stuff so I came up behind his character with my orc, stripped my clothes off then said in a gruff voice "mmm keep talking" and made more arousing noises every time he spoke...he shut up quick.

    That's like saying why do people drink before 21.
    I grew up in Germany where the legal drinking age is 16 and nobody cares if you drink before that.

    I'm just glad i'm on PC, the zone chat can be nauseating at times but it's still a lot better that the constant voice chat assault.

    Anyone else here have the unfortunate experience of listening to kids on voice chat? Thanks to poor parenting, this 17+ game is riddled with 12 and 13 year olds. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with that - but the thing about kids is that a lot of them are constantly talking and the high pitched voice doesn't help. I've had to block quite a few in PVP after they refused to clear the chat when crown told them to. Why are they allowed to play when the game has a rating of mature?

    I say by the pc version, it is where the adults are. B)

    The whole open mic thingy consoles have going on sounds more horrific every time a thread about it is made (granted it's more indirect in this case). I'm hoping Zenimax release a text based chat alternative for you lot in the near future, I'd hate to deal with half the nonsense you players do on a daily basis.

    Read my share of conversations on pc that were far from mature. Thank goodness we do not have voice chat.

    Yet. I believe it's coming.

    Still...just because it's available, will there be a mass migration away from text and other voice options?
