Teenagers keep trying to invade my guild

[Herbert]

Not from the WoW forums though?

Correct, WoW forums are better :P

[Strawberry]

Correct, we have all moved on to better things and left people like you behind to be the senior citizens of Warcraft. When my kid is 30 (24 years from now), maybe they can join your guild since I can tell you will still be leading it.

Read the thread. You must have missed the part where I wrote that I don't want any responsibility, not even being an officer.

But reading from all the replies here it seems that people either:

1) got triggered.
2) can't read.

Kudos to those who actually read the post.

I'm 17, have raided in RIFT, Wildstar, and A little bit in Cataclysm

I also pay bills occasionally, give money to charity when I can, and often loan money to friends or family when they need it

So to me I am no different than any 25-30 year old you can find.

At 17 they are still children according to the law(in the US at least).

and what is the legal age of being a adult where you live? here its 18, so at 18 you are no longer a "kid"

Golly, it looks like the other half of them aren't teen years.

Actually most 25-30 year olds don't donate to charity or lend money to friends.

Yeah, I suppose it should be "twenty one teen", "twenty two teen", "twenty three teen", mainly because people of that age typically aren't much different from teenagers.

This guy gets it.

When I was a teenager I raided at the highest levels, raid schedule was 5 nights a week for 5-6 hours at a time. You can't commit to that as an adult unless you're single / no life.

single/no kids/ good job

more like it

What does that have to do with 17 year olds being children? The person I was responding to was acting as though that is insane when they are legally children.

he was critizing

"Calling people who are 17-22 "kids" is beyond retarded. They are not kids anymore."

yes 17 is not a adult
but what about
18
19
20
21
22

yet still calls them kids

The term Adult means nothing other than ones age. There are 14 year old kids far more mature than many 21 year old "adults"

It's all about how your raised and whatnot, I have met many adults that got wasted, been arrested, got out, got wasted again. Cheated on their wives/husbands ect ect. and on the other side I have met 16-17 year old "kids" who work jobs, go to school maintain a healthy relationship, stay out of trouble and so one.

This may not be totally relevant as there is nothing WoW related here. but it just bugs me when people think there age suddenly makes them superior and more mature than anyone younger than them.

Not saying this is you of course, but the constant "kid" calling is obnoxious

[Mad_Murdock]

What makes 17-22 olds "Kids"?
In my eyes kids are 12 year old and below.

I consider anyone under 25 a kid. When you get to 40+ you'll understand why.

[gusty jack]

Do you have some kind of factual basis for this statement?

It was a joke, are you getting mad about it?

No one gives a fuck about legal definitions, be real. 18 year old are still "kids" as are most 19-20-21-22 year olds. He didn't mean in the literal sense and you know it, don't be pedantic.

^ Exactly.

[Krimzin]

because people at 30 dont have time for stupdi shit like raiding on schedule - we have much more important stuff to do irl

This isn't necessarily true. Its about Time Management.
For me, WoW is a hobby just like my car club. I devote time to both as well as other day to day activities.
I maintain a 3 day raid schedule with little to no problem, because its what I choose to do.

I personally do not allow people younger than 19 in my guild and I prefer not to get people above 35 (I am 26). Having the players around the same generations makes it easier for us to find common ground and communicate and group outside of guild organized raids. It has worked out great so far.

Decent logic. Age DOES give maturity, just the way the other person was talking about it was more to do with attitude, plenty of kids have a mature outlook.

Must have at least 5 years exerience of being an adult, to be an adult. And that means adult responsibilities, not the same responsibilities you had in high school.

Sorry timmy but in the real world everyone doesnt get a participation trophy. Maturity is earned through life experience, not a birthday.

Everyone just slides their "kid" age upwards as they get older, it's just something people do to feel better about getting old.

Not necessarily. Though we probably should be referring to 18-25 as young adults instead. They may be legal but a majority are stupid and immature still.
