Underaged Gamers

[Joccaren]

I don't mind them unless they're going 'Hey, can someone trade me this rare item? I really want it. Someone? Anyone? Please. Common guys. I really want it.'
That annoys me, but it would with any person. I've just found the younger ones with less patience to do it more often.

In general, no matter what kind of voice you have, I'm not interested in what you have to say when I'm gaming. If people annoy me, I mute them. Simple as that.

I knew I didn't like Team Fortress 2 and first person shooters in general.

Kicking someone for having a high pitched or less deep voice than the rest of players?

Just like making black people sit in the back of the bus or keeping droids out of your cantina... people never change.

That actually made me lol, bravo good sir.

I remember when I got on Halo 3 for the first time, people asked if I was a girl.

Two years later they asked me if I was 18 because my voice was so deep.

Go me!

I generally can't stand high pitched voices on men. When I can't tell if it is a guy or a girl I mute them and get kind of angry for some reason that I don't wholly understand. I don't know why, but it makes me mad when I hear younglings playing my games.

Squekers I don't mind if their not too loud or mature. I mainly hate immature 16 - 40 year olds, I mean piss off, your old enough to have a job and you can't get over black people or sexual orientation.

Kids can be a little tiresome, I know I was, but some can be nice.

 

[KerryBamBerry]

I dont mind underage gamers as long as they dont spend the entire time on mic insulting everybody else. But the squeeking voices...do annoy me. Especially when its REALLY loud. Id prefer them not to speak.

 

[Joby Baumann]

it comes down to how they act, If they aren't excessively screeching, swearing, etc, then I'm fine with them.

 

[Wintermoot]

I hate them but mostly for their lack of standard behavioral norms (like acting like a normal person and being at least 18 when you play a 18+ game)

 

[Jake0fTrades]

At what point are you "underage?"

I'm 17 and it's uncommon for the people I talk to online to assume I'm closer to 20. I think it differs from person to person depending on your maturity.

 

[neonsword13-ops]

Well I'm 15 as well and I hardly ever use my mic on multiplayer game unless someone on my team says "anybody got a mic" or something along those lines then I'll put it on because then we can talk about tactics but apart from that it's when I'm in a party with friend and playing multiplayer.

Pretty much this for me.

I usually don't mute people because I like listening to thier moaning when they get owned in Black Ops or Battlefield, especially if they're a ten year old.

Yeah, I'm a sick bastard.

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

Besides, y'know... mute button.

So much this. If its getting too grating on my ears, you're not an issue anymore. BAM!

 

[StorytellingIsAMust]

Who cares about what their voice sounds like? What really matters is if they're spouting racist, sexist, or homophobic comments at you when you kill them.

Anyway, I usually just play local multiplayer with my friends/brothers, and I have to say my 13 year old brother is one of my favorite people to play games with. He's hilarious.

 

[weker]

Those kids are not the required age for the game, meaning all the abuse and such is totally valid. You could call it... Parenting as it's encouraging them to stay off games not for their age

 

[theheroofaction]

The thing is, a lot of young gamers, while their voices are somewhat annoying, the big thing is that they try to compensate for their immature voice by having every third word they say be some type of swear

Now, I'm not averse to such words, but using them just because they "sound mature" is about the most annoying thing in the world.

as well, have any of you actually heard a 9 year old over a mic? they sound like banshees by the time you hear them.

It's not because their high pitched, it's because their annoying and they shouldn't be there in the first place, as it's normally tell tale sighs of them not meeting the right age to play.

lol that's the most outlandish, stupid comparison I've ever heard? Comparing the hundreds of years of racial segregation to kicking an annoying teenage boy who talks too much? Do you know any boys betwen 10 and 13? They don't shut up. I still can't believe you said that. Lol.

The point is that prejudices exist in all walks of life and are fundamentally no different. It all boils down to hatred and ignorance. Of course kicking a little kid from your game isn't on the same level as racial segregation. I never claimed it was.

 

[RickyRich]

It's not really the voice for me, it is the behavior that gets me. Squeakers don't get on my nerves too much if they just talk normally, but when they turn into a perpetual swearing machine, the wrath of the mute button is warranted.

Or when they decide to voluentarily give themselves an identity crisis.

Such as the kids who claim to be "hackers"
