How did WOW get filled with children?
Because it was made for children silly........... Critical thinking is a desire to seek, patience to doubt, fondness to meditate, slowness to assert, readiness to consider, carefulness to dispose and set in order; and hatred for every kind of imposture. |

Its doesnt matter what game you play you are always going to have children in it. besides all children are not bad at games like alot of people think. i have a 14 year old brother who tears it up. he is one of the better players in the guild and the guild that he is in is one of the better ones on the sever. and i tell you what he helps people out alot more then all those so called older better players that they call them selfs. ive been playing wow since it came out and eveyone goes afk or brb and there is nothing you can do to stop it. |

1. Graphics (Hey it's a cartoon!)
2. Parents (Hey it looks like a cartoon so there is no harm letting my child play it) 3. Schools (Hey I know one awesome game...) 1 --> 2 --> 3 --> epidemic To get rid of kids, game needs to be violent and dreadful. Blood, screams, loose limps... Well... I'm waiting for Age of Conan. K-18 ftw  |

Originally posted by guitarman_67I don't really think people refer 14 year old's as "kids" oftenly. When someone says "this game is so filed with kids" I'm pretty sure they mean people 8-11 year old. And however age doesn't matter for maturity you gotta agree, that if a game contains a large bunch of pre-teen youngsters the community will be damaged. Even tho a few behaves.

It boggles my mind how so many younger players have found their way to wow. Not only can they compete but they can thrive! I fell out of my chair the day the top mage on our server made a post that he had to stop playing wow because his mom took away his gaming card so he could focus on taking the SAT's!!! I made a comment about how I didnt expect him to be so young and he told me to shut up and why is an adult playing warcraft!! I found it funny, because when I started playing warcraft and blizzard games he was being born. |

...see that's the problem im havin, kids nowadays got so much attitude, i'd like to sock em in the face if it wasnt illegal... you'd be surprised how most of the trashtalkers out there are kids (albeit, with kick-ass gear). ive no issues playing with kids though, aside from attitude, because ive got friends w/ kids that play better than their pops...

Originally posted by rmeyer The easiest way to avoid the "kids" and other assorted smaktards is to find a good guild that roughly matches your age range and play style. group with them. Avoid PuG's as much as possible. While age retricted servers are kinda unfeasable, there are plenty of age organized social guilds. |

...and what of the immature adults that play the game? Look, unfortunately there are those young people that do play the game. Just don't allow them to ruin your experience.
Maturity is a state of mind. I have a 14 young man in my guild that is in some ways more mature than a 35 year old woman that flirts with every voice she hears in our vent. There are those adults that use WoW as some sort of "dating" experience. LOL, well for that matter, you find that in just about every MMO. OK, be strong, be mature and refuse to party with anyone, young or old, that simply does not have the focus to begin and finish an instance or a quest. ...."just another brick in the wall"...

Ok for one note I am a kid and I have friends that play WoW (I did a free trial) I got about 10 lvl ups in a day and my friends are level 70 with the Burning Crusade now I am not trying to be mean but not all kids are like that Alot of kids are better than adults but I'm not saying all kids. |

...really, this topic is getting old.
all i really know is that games are for young people, and those young at hearts. keyword: YOUNG. i mean, come on, WoW is a game, scratch the teen rating, scratch the Mature stuff in it, kids will find their way into ANY game simply because its a GAME. in other words, GAME=KIDS and KIDS=GAME. older people just modified the formula and added this: GAME=KIDS(AT HEART). heck, the Grand Theft Auto series were Mature games, yet kids play it. San Andreas even had that nasty lil clip you can watch if you hacked the game (w/ Game Shark or stuff like that), yet kids play. coz its a game. so dont be surprised if you find kids playing WoW. --------------------------------- |

for the sake of the game i think they will not be that much focus on age ideas instead for the game development..age isn't that big problem for me..basically almost all of the w0w community has a bigger population of teens playing it..we can utilized this ourselves in making raids in dungeons...we can work ourselves in doing AFKs for 3hrs of raid...

Originally posted by kano71...hmm. true. i mean, kids wouldnt even probly go afk unless they really really have to go to the bathroom or bed or whatever, but adults with jobs or other responsibilities would, especially if they're multitasking (eg, playing while working, lol...). --------------------------------- |

Its not an age thing, its a maturity thing and correct question would be "how did this game get filled with immature people? I can give you a reason but I doubt many of the people in here will like it : Its because the game is painfully easy that a player can easily reach the higher levels without really learning the game or his character, I gave my 9 year old cousin a copy of the game I had laying around and it took him about 3 weeks to hit level 60 and go on to do pug’s for instances. The game requires no real understanding of your character or the world to play so immature players easily makes it into the upper tiers of playing. The game is built that way via the quest lines at the start all the way to level 60. There is a reason that i consider WoW to have the worst community of any online game i have played. |

I agree that maturity doesn't come with age. On Xbox live people rank you based on your attitude and
give an opinion of you when they want to. It would be nice to have reputation meters that other people could comment about you based on a five things. Integrity = pertaining to items Commitment = pertaining to how many times you goes afk during a dungeon Skill = hopefully this could be based on numbers instead of comments from other players, Attitude = Was he an ass or was he kind Maturity = the best one I think, its true that maturity doesn't come with age, so it would be good to know whos intelligent and whos not I think it's fun to mix it up a little bit and not necessarily play with people from your guild all the time. It's fun to meet new people and learn from players on how to be better. This would help you know as a group builder who you would really like to have and not have. If your parents won't parent you or you are 30 years old and you still haven't quite figured things out, maybe Blizzard should start being the babysitter. |

it's not a big deal when you meet a immature people playing w0w doing AFK while in group instance..if you are the leader you can do whatever you can to refrain your subordinates in acting like one 13 year old boy but actually he's 31 years old...btw, it's in your hands if you wanted him to stay or whatever else you may want to do...there are many ways to get rid of this thing..you can kick them out of your group and find one which might be more deserving than him, actually their are many players in the game and i doubt it if you cant find one...supervise them on whatever they may do, surely a great leader will have a great followers...be polite with them so they will grant you their respect and who knows, maybe on that flow you can build up a guild with a high rate followers and friends in it and might be the best of the best guild ever.

Talking about how this game is full of children.... is it me? or is it just a great amount of fun just dancing around a fire, making crude comments, and taking your clothes off. I run across that crap more than I care to admit.... now if it happened in real life, then that probably wouldn't be so bad. |
