Unbelievable Rudeness!

PEGI 16

The fault is on you.

I'm sorry for what your kid experienced, if I had one of course I wouldn't wish mine to go through something like that, but it happened under your permission and responsibility. Should've prevented her before starting to interact with others.

derp derp derp.... makin the world safe from cursin' and uncovered boobs

To be fair, you will get a harsh ban for cursing on here.

This argument is pointless. This isn't what rating systems are about. If my 11 year old son goes to see Deadpool by himself, the theater has the right to refuse him. But if I take him (which I did), the theater will gladly give us our tickets. I have the right as a parent to decide what my child is capable of handling. Please stop using this rating argument. It doesn't belong here. I have actually had conversations with SE customer support and told them my son plays FFXIV with us. They were very happy to hear it. Ratings are for parents protection.

Yeah. Ratings more or less just tell people what to expect. Ultimately it falls to the parents as to what they believe their kids can handle.

All what you are asking of ppl is good and in a perfect world ppl would/should act this way, but we all know our world isnt perfect, there are rude ppl everywhere,ppl who try to take advantage of someone, that try to scam you or other bad things. I agree with the ppl encouraging you to help your daughter deal with this situations, because you wont be always there to protect her and she will face such ppl not only in online games, but in school, working place and so on. Her age and charakter(shy) doesnt mater,since she is already exposed to this and will be in the future. Saying she doesnt want to play anymore because of someone.. this is running away from a problem, she needs to learn to face such things and not allow other ppl to ruin her fun so easily.And yes we need to teach them how to stand up for them selves if someone is rude to them, someone harasses them, bullys them or even physicaly abuses them.
That doesnt mean i support or encourage ppl to be rude/toxic to each other or even like when such things happen, but reality is that such situations exist.

Best of luck.

I mean did she or did she not cause the wipe? I don't care if a player is 3 or 30. They mess up, they get the blame.

LOL 3 years old tho? Like ... Whats getting mad and yelling at a 3 year old gonna do? It's not like they would understand your anger and their mistake and be like " Alright dog my bad. I'll not wipe us next time." Cause THREE LOL. Like I get your point... but you would kindof have to take age as an account man. I'm not expecting a three year old to understad jack. NOW a 30 year old.... Go ham.

Well I hope as her parent you ripped them a new one, but that being said just remind the kid that people are assholes and what they say to her has zero worth on her own character. Don't let her give up and try to get her to enjoy the more positive aspects of the game. And while ppl are bringing up the whole rating system as a gotcha, ya and she clearly had adult supervision. You can take a 13 yr old to an R rated movie, you can supervise them playing a rated M game. If my niece got even half the flack I see tossed around sometimes, especial after I point out they are going after a literal child, I'd be pissed too. Kids most likely will not be as skilled as us adults and there is no need to go after someone over one wipe most of the time. And if its mentioned they're young, then what are you doing taking cheap shots at a child? Good god some of these replies.

Online interactions are pretty much unrated in these games, the rating only covering the in-game, developer provided content.

As for the topic on hand, I would advise the same as some others. Use this unfortunate "opportunity" to have her learn to handle situations like this, or generally dont let her near online games. Preventative measures dont really exist for this kind of stuff. You can punish the perps afterwards, but by then the "damage" is done.

You can make the consequences for being an a**hole severe, but personally I dont think that being an a**hole warrants greater punishment than a verbal warning. Naturally actual harrasment is another thing, but a salty statement flinging blame for a wipe most certainly doesn't constitute as such.
