How old are you?

[anakin57]

sadly approaching 32 years young

poll results show what you should expect, statistical curve centered around the intended demographic, 18-34 y.o.

the immaturity you see, in any game, deals more with immature adults, than immature children. Spoiled brats who haven't grown up inside enough yet to respect their fellow human, anonymity or not.

Though each game does have a different feel. GW2 seems to be quite mature and I've never seen any misconduct in the month or so I've been playing compared to logging into wow for a few seconds while in trade. Server choice has some to do with it, but different games draw different types of people in, and game design has some influence, cooperative versus competitive in a pve environment.

If your experience is that bad, move servers, because I can tell you they are all different, and that is any game (people of similar ilk tend to flock together; the negative feed off each other).

Currently I am 21 and just started playing GWII and loving it.

...I would rather answer a poll of number selections instead of actually post it...

There is a poll in the OP

Poll where I want you to answer can be found here: http://www.strawpoll.me/2696533/

If someone wonders why I made this poll it’s because my friend have several times said that players of Guild Wars 2 are mature and normally at least over 20 years old. My own experiences have been opposite and I would like to know actual fact now.

Maturity has very little relation to age whatsoever.
I think you'd probably find that a lot of the time [Dirge] and 'anal' spam starts up in places like trade chat in WoW, it's 20-30 year olds. Just because you're classed as an adult doesn't mean you have the mentality of one.

[Seran]

Looks like I'm pretty average with my 23. Yay, I'm average..!

As template of age distribution I used this site: http://www.statista.com/statistics/2...mobile-gamers/

I made this thread also to Reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/Guildwars2/c...w_old_are_you/

11/f/CA - Oh wait, you've probably never seen that before (Looks back to the mid 90's, OH MAN).

[Vizardlorde]

Guildmates call me a baby but im 22 almost everyone is 26+ in our guild, Aussie is 50ish.

[Fibby76]

I'm as old as my tongue but older than my teeth.

[PACOX]

I was 11 when the game started. I'm now 12, almost old enough to turn off the profanity filter.

[Svifnymr]

I never remember to turn off the profanity filter, don't really care, but it is funny when something an NPC says triggers it...

[PIsForPhuck]

I'm pretty sure age has almost nothing to do with it. People on WoW act like complete jerks (the ones who talk, anyway), and people on GW2 are, for the most part, nice.

It's environment/peer behavior.

28, 29 in march. Game seems to have way more mature players in it from my experience than any other MMO i've ever played.
