I think some of these little kids get very nerve racking. They start flooding over and over, Start bugging you to join their Clan. Send you Msgs filled with stupid sayings. You know like a block from sender on the zm's. Maybe they should have ratings like 18+, 11-. They start cussing like mad its not even funny. My little cousin asked me what does **** mean, I dont want to tell her. Ill I can say is grow up little kids. When I was 11-12 I acted nowhere near the way you do.

Hopefully, those of us who are a little (or a lot) older have developed some patience along the way . . .

I recently saw an old poll of the ages of AOE/ROR players. Not surprisingly about 40% of those who responded were 18 or younger. Now while that is not a majority, it is certainly a very large minority. sure, there are some people who act like kids, but they're human. We all have to mature and some do so faster than others. Does that mean we should look down on the immature or younger? The answer to it is not restricting them to their own little rooms so you don't have to deal with them. Tucking them away in a corner will not solve the problem but merely avoid it and then society as a whole suffers. Instead, accept them for who they are and if they degrade you, don't lower yourself. Two wrongs never make a right. I do think though that some of them think their "bad" and merely get a kick out of trying to torment people. When you meet one of these supposed "lost causes," who despite your efforts, insists on being difficult, then simply don't play wiht them anymore. After enough people are offended by this person and the word gets aroud, they will wonder why noone likes them and maybe reality will finally set in.
It seems that you're the immaturity is what peeves you and you associate that with youth. However, I don't think you should try to use age as a scale to measure people's maturity. Everyone acts childish at times.

That must be why I keep losing. I'm playing against a bunch of hyperactive rugrats.

I am under 18, well under 13 and I am considered very mature and 95% of people think I'm an adult. I know kids like to flood and swear but there should'nt be a "18+ Room" there should be a "Mature Room". Meaning anyone of any age that is not rude should be allowed in. I prefer to play with adults than kids because they are very annoying... saying stupid things that don't make sence, swearing every other room, no respect for anyone. But not me.. I just keep my mouth shut, and try to be as friendly as possible.
