Hello Rare,
The player base in this game is incredibly diverse and the diversity is what leads to the incredible interactions and in game moments we will treasure forever. However, as of late my crew has been faced with the dilemna of having a young child join us in open crew. While we are never demeaning and go out of our way to ensure communication is appropriate from a content and encouragement perspective, we still arrive in the same situation. The child does not know how or is capable of playing the game at a level anywhere near what is needed for the game to be semi-enjoyable for anyone in the crew. When we kindly suggest that the child may have a better time if they join another crew with similar interests we have been met with stubborness, vulgar language, and a test of patience that at times spans 30minutes - 1 hour.
They don't deserve to be brigged or have a bad encounter but we also don't deserve the responsibility of baby sitting a child that even with helpful instruction is not capable of playing the game in the manner it is meant to be played. With that in mind, we ask that you please consider a means of separation whether it be setting a minimum age to join the crew or effectively filtering younger age groups into servers with players their age, a solution is needed to preserve the game we love.
Thank you for considering this initiative!
Cheers,
TTF
