What makes you think you're so specially entitled to enjoying the game anymore then us? Maybe we should petition to ban adults from playing. It's about as possible and legal as banning children from playing the game. Since they cannot restrict a group of people based on Sex/Race/Age. The system where they ask for age or credit card is flawed because it is indirectly related to age., anyway of direct restriction would probably cause some problems.
Don't you hate it when an adult comes in, and just because they see some flaw in your gaming style they go "ZOMG LOOK FCKING KID GET OFF MY GAME/INTERNET, FCKING NOOB FUCKER GET OFF!"? It get's annoying. Although i find it easy to simply switch games to Private, adults seemingly cannot do this and as a result; incessantly make threads asking Blizzard to ban children from Battle.net.
Don't go throwing your ESRB rating of "M" at us, you know that has no real value. It's just information that parents and children and adults alike can take into consideration.
So, yay or neigh.
If you think I'm 100% serious in this thread, it's just a spoof on the floodings of threads on banning children from D3 i have been seeing.
I just threw in a moderately thought out argument that is more likely then not, full of holes that will probably get me flamed.
Beacause my cognitive functions are more developed and it is scientifically verifiable that children are far more influenced negatively by mature video games--which is the point of ESRB.
I Think of it this way: If i play on Battlenet, i'll probably get the good players, the ones who are level 4 trillion to my 17 and the really nice guys. All at once.
I could risk it and do that, or i could just play single player/Lan with some friends.
My best friend and i have already decided we'll play it together when it comes out (might get my Girlfriend into it too...Diablo 3some )
Your a good person, Retribution, dont let the howling cries of dickless 20 year olds get you down and just play (and love) the game like everyone else.
Retribution;277357'']Are you saying adults don't ruin the game either? that adults all play together in perfect harmony?
well if theyre drunk, high or baked they can ruin the game, but not alltogether just leave the game (server or realm) anyways kids shouldnt be banned from any game at all, throwing it out there when u too were like (not u retribution) screaming monkeys who cant shut up or maybe u havent played online as a kid. So you dont know what it feels like.
BTW im 15 years old

Also: Because I said So.
If your cognitive abilities are so advanced, why have a torched as many adults in PvP as kids?
I guess it doesn't apply to games or running a country correctly.
So, you want to prosecute a whole group based on the actions of a select few? if i wanted them to ban all douche-bag adults, it would be much harder then just banning all adults. Also:

Interesting.
and why is that sad? some kids are just better at communication and cooperation
^ As you age, you gain wisdom, and your mind becomes more developed. That being said, youth brings quick reaction time and quick critical thinking.
Another point...how is the ESRB rating irrelevant, it makes it ILLEGAL for a child under the age of 17 to purchase an M rated game without a parent's consent.
Yes, there are many children mature enough to handle games. I'm sure you are, and I was one as well. But there are a minority who aren't. That is what the rating is for. It is undeniable that the line has to be drawn somewhere, and the age of 17 was the consensus of the big guns in Washington of where that line would be drawn.

You are misunderstand my argument. I'm explaining to you the very logical reasoning behind adult's cries for kids to be banned. I don't much care either way, myself.
I've honestly never had a problem with younger kids on Diablo, and hell if they start giving me trouble I just remember that I started out same as them, and to just cut them a little slack.

We were all kids once and it sucks that the few idiots ruin it for the rest.
'Course it's a generality, and there are plenty of exceptions.
That's how some adults feel about drugs
I could risk it and do that, or i could just play single player/Lan with some friends.

PS. Im 19 so im not that Biased
So was your original post.
Just doing my part.

P.S. I'm 14 and I play/do whatever the fuck I feel like, ratings have no effect unless your mother is a crackwhore.

Course not, but kids as a group tend to be more immature and prone to being asshats. Not all or most, but many are little shit heads.
We can quantify kids rather easily, and it's a much simpler route when compared getting rid of all idiots.
It's a much harder task to say "No Douchebags" and actually get results. Banning kids brings significant results for significant loss as well.
Also, the whiners cannot themselves fall victim to their edict.
The sad part is, the non-douchebag kids tend to be more pleasant to game with than the average adult anyway
and why is that sad? some kids are just better at communication and cooperation

The last time I checked, a child has never been given the chance to run a great nation in contemporary times.
Twitch reflexes really have nothing to do with having a greater capacity for reasoning, forethought, and understanding.
My original post was more sarcastic than not, though.

And you didnt understand my comment about your persecution. why is that? why ban all children for the actions of some?
