DEBATE: What do you think about 12 year olds playing PR?

[dtacs]

Some of the best players in PR are kids, also some of the worst.

I've seen some of the best leadership come from 14 year olds in the game. There simply no excuse when a squad leader gets things done and an older squad leader cannot.

Only problem I have with 12 year olds is if they have an irritating voice. Nothing destroys my immersion more tbh. I have met a few who are decent players, although it is rare.

That being said I wish that age restrictions on games were more rigidly enforced.

If the older player was mentally unstable....

Age really doesn't matter though as long as they can play.

I think it doesnt matter the age as long as they play right. But if they have an annoying voice, i think they shouldn't play. Lucky for me I started playing when i was 13 and i never got anything about my voice, ppl always thought i was 17 o.0

Lol, nice Rudd. I'm going to remind you of that comment every time I see you ;P

My take; I don't mind so long as they're mature and people stop yelling 'omg 12yr old hisss' when they hear me talk for the first time.

I actually ran into a 12 yearold today, he played the game and asked the squad lead what he should do like a good squadmate should, but he just..talked to much in that voice of his. I ended up muting him

The age restriction is there for a reason, whats going over voip sometimes should possibly not be heard by 12 years old even how "mature" they are they are not really mature they are still growing its a huge difference between 12 and 15 for example, I can talk shit with a 15 year old I know, but I cant talk about the same things with a 12 year old in the same even if they are what you call mature for the age, its a part of growing up, but in medical eyesight you are not mature enough before 15-16.

And we have all heard of the stories with little kids getting screwed by older guys and suddenly getting the father or mother on TS.

Now I dont have anything against 12 years old its just that they are not grown up mentally I thougth I was "mature" at the age of 15 when I was about to go up to high school man I surely got down to earth again. Now I am 19 and feel like I am still 17

Im 14 And even i find 12 - some 14 year old inicreadibly anoying Theres a few liek me who want to play a realistic community game and there some who just destroy it

My 9 yrs old son is in our clan and regularly plays with us, he plays under CloneTrooperE name. I must say that he acts more responsible and mature then players significantly older then him. In fact I am often surprise that older players often loose their cool and start swearing or act like a spoiled brats, just because someone shot them or they did not got asset they want.

Well, very few persons i met in my squads in PR were under 14. For 2 general reasons:
Playing on a PC, instaling PR and other PC related stuff might be too hard for most persons under 14.(You might think I'm wrong, but compared with using a PS2/3 Xbox, or whatever console, is much easier than using a PC, too many buttons or something)
Second, well most persons under 14 don't have VOIP or are not using it, so they won't stay more than 15 seconds in my squad anyways.
