Q u o t e:
I wonder if this has ever been discussed. Servers that require a certain minimum age to create/play on.
A place where instance runs are not slowed down by “one sec my mom needs me”
A place where I don’t get blasted in chat by asking questions or posting trades.
A place where after getting ganked, I don’t receive a tell from the gankers ally account.
And for those of you about to blast me for this post, keep it up. You’re proving my point.
You assume all of those things are overcome by a specific age. They're not.
You assume that being alive a certain number of years will consistently mature someone to be above acts of immaturity. It doesn't.
In my experience, and mileage will vary, some of the most tenaciously immature people I've played with are in their mid-30s. I've also played with teenagers who were more mature, kind, and better players than those 30-year olds.
You can easily escape immaturity by creating your own guild, and as soon as someone exhibits it, remove them from the guild. I think you'll find people of all ages are able to behave and play, and that it will show everyone's maturity levels vary regardless of age.
Now this is where everyone tries to come up with ideas of maturity or IQ tests, etc. etc. which approaches ludicrous. You can easily limit who you interact with in the game, if it's an issue, then take advantage of those limitations.
