Re: At what age is too young for wow?

So my questions are:  1) what age do you think playing WoW is
appropriate (just a census)....2)  How do you feel about playing with
such youngins? (although you can usually tell if you party up with them
that they are young).

I had two surgeries by the time I was nine; no one ever told me that a
single digit age was too young to be having medical problems. So I
guess my answer would be that it depends on the child. Some have seen
more than others.

I don't have kids, and am not sure I'd let them play WoW if I did.
Having said that, I wonder if we worry too much. I remember playing
with a metal toy gun as a child, yet I didn't grow up to be a serial
killer. In Wow, we see blood! And guts! And violence! When, to a
child, all they may see are pretty flowers.

I generally don't like playing with young folks. I like kids as much
as the next person, but I have found that they have to AFK more
because of parent aggro or generally act, well, immature. Yes, raiding
is supposed to be fun, but there has to be a middle ground between fun
and having someone play in the sludge during a Thaddius explanation or
having a raid wait 30 minutes for you because Mommy said you had to go
eat dinner, and my 40 gold flask ticks down.
