[Feedback] A New Player's Perspective (Will update if there's interest)

Sorry, but this is weird. The thought that I might be doing a dungeon, trial, raid or whatever with someone who is underage. It's weird. A 9 year old should not be playing this game. I don't know that they should be playing any mmo, to be honest. I know you can do duty support, but still.

If this was an experiment you wanted to do, why wouldn't you do it with a single player game, if it was about practicing reading and patience? Why this game specifically?

I'd suggest rereading my posts; You're reading a lot into this.

This wasn't some grand experiment. This was "Daddy can I play with you?" that turned into me watching her play and/or having some observations/thoughts I thought to share.

Why specifically is it weird for a 9 year old to play this game entirely solo without really interacting with anyone else? Would it make a difference if she was 13? or 16?

US rates the game for 16+, Australia rates it as PG (so 12+), Japan I think is 15+.

At the very least, she is playing the game while being monitored.

I've read your posts. I still think it's weird to let a 9 year old play this game (or any mmo), regardless of the intention or background.

What does it matter who is on the other side on the monitor, if they can pull their weight? It's you who is weird, if you care about other player's irl characteristics.

Honestly, you'd be surprised. I was on a lot of multiplayer stuff when I was her age and there's so much worse out there. Also pretty sure OP is supervising.
