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...

Wow is the best mmo, but if you don't play with your friends and randomly join
a group you get people who go afk during a one hour dungeon that turns into 3 hours
due to kids that have somehow overcome the wow universe.
How do we fix this blizzard?
I have the solution. Have age based servers. All the kids can play on their own server.
Have 21 and over servers for adults to play with adults. That way people can have no excuse
for being immature, but will be required to act like an adult and play like an adult and die like
one. I'm sick of playing with these confused players. It's easier to sit in an LA traffic jam, than
deal with so many kids.

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.

All I want is the truth Just gimme some truth John Lennon
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.
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...

How does someone going afk have anything to do with age> I find more a adults such as myself having to go afk to deal with RL issue's.Most the raids I been on it's been the kids waiting for the adults mainly.

I'd much rather play with an immature 35 year old woman than a mature 14 year old boy.
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.
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.
whatever you do there would be annoying people! may it be a kid or an adult. sometimes adult players act like brats and kids sometimes plays mature. we just have to live with that coz that's just the MMO games go..
That's why more and more Guilds are going to an age requirement. It's certainly something that bugs me. I'm all for them designing a kiddie area where youngsters can duel to their hearts content, maybe give them a lollipop for a victory.

what do you mean?? like making them a playground or something?? i think it would be boring if there would be a adult area or a children area..i think people getting mad at kids is making the game much more exciting because of the variety of players..come to think of it..if they will approve to what you suggest then after a while there would be a men area and a woman area..coz men complain of women always nagging or something like that..i guess that would be boring right??
the reason this game is filled with kids is becuase blizzard has done a great job marketing this game to Kids and parents makeing it ok to play an MMORPG. That is the main reason why I dont play the game the matureity lvl is so low that you cant go 5 min with out some rude comment or a chuck norris reference or someone spamming the chat window. Great game. Not so great people who play.
Conservatism. Just old white men trying to find ways to legalize discrimination, and make the poor poorer
I look forward to games like Age of Conan, mature style, mature rating. There's no MMO on the market right now that you can really say "This is for mature players". AoC is obviously the best example because not only is the whole of its art direction realistic and mature, but its striving for an "M" rating as well. Its not that WoW neccesarily caters specifically to children, but it really doesn't have much content to attract a more mature audience.
well i guess if people can't really blend or something out of their age bracket or out of their own "norms" then i think it's about time for them to get old school (play MARIO) alone!! come on, almost all MMO games out there are filled with annoying people. may it be kids or adults!
what's the difference between a grader player w0w and a 30 year old head of the family? no one even knows what they're ages are..they might even pretend. no more age issues as long as i am playing w0w age doesn't matter at all....btw, i'll just continue laying w0w for the rest of my gaming life...

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.
