I love indulging in a good debate and have enjoyed our commentary in various recent threads. It's also interesting that the American rating is 'Teen' - what exactly does that encompass? Here in the UK the game is rated as suitable for ages 16 and over, though the nature of games means a lot of people will play them even when under the recommended age.
Well, I always have to be sure. I have this terrible habit of coming across as combative. If I had a gil for every time I was told to 'stop arguing' when I wasn't even aware what I'd said could have been taken for argumentative, I would be able to buy myself a lot of Hard Mode Primal carriesÂÂ
As for 'Teen' rating, it means anyone 13+ in theory, but more like anyone 9+ in execution. Without trying to make a sweeping generalization of an entire country of peoples, Americans just don't care about what is 'age appropriate' content for their kids. Unless it involves breasts.
Oh, I got the same treatment back when I played WoW. I tend to post a lot - since it's a great way to pass the time whilst waiting in a dungeon queue - and the amount of people who take disagreements as a personal attack is unbelievable at times!
