Many of you in power have said that this game carries a PG-13 rating, yet most of the crap that goes on goes well ABOVE the PG-13 rating. And if you dont think so, let me refer you to all of the reports that involve sexual explicit names, chat, wills, racists, pedos, furries, homosexual crap and everything else. I am not even going to mention all the foul harsh language. And NO popular usage of that kind of crap does NOT make it okay either!

I used to play for a few hours a day, but with the influx of younger, and more toxic players, I have scaled it pack to a couple of games a week. Were I playing with more mature players, I would likely increase my playing time again. And I know I am not alone in this.

It's a money sink for the Devs, who would have to rent 5 more servers, not to mention the amount of money they'd have to pay to get some kind of age verification set up. Then you can add the fact that in the end: it won't really do anything, since, as Mystic said: people lie about their age.
That's why there is age verification software, there are several online sites that use it. Plus not to mention discord could ALSO be used to help with this given how popular its becoming. and its not as difficult to acquire, use and set up as most people think.
Add to that:
Who says it's a specific age-group that make the infractions? You're over-generalizing like crazy, I'm a Gen Xer and the people I play with and are in my friends list are of all ages and well-behaved. I find it quite a bit of ageism to immediately say the younger generations cause the toxicity and rule breaks. There's people that break rules or are toxic in ALL age groups.
Personally I find that, if you want to split between age groups, find some people your age and go play in a party with them. Breaking up an entire community and making everyone wait an insane amount of time, because someone wanted to implement a ridiculous amount of servers, is simply ridiculous, for lack of better words. Especially when it's based on prejudice, ageism and narrow-mindedness.

While there's always going to be bad apples, even in PG13 (ESRB Teen) games, I'm not quite sure how "furries" and "homosexual crap" wouldn't fall under that rating? Teens will talk about sex (including furries and homosexual "crap", as you call it), teens will use words like "fuck", teens will say stuff like "suck my dick". Nothing wrong with that.
And as for the stuff that is deemed punishable, when it gets reported, it gets punished. But you can't expect thousands of people to adhere to the personal beliefs of some. This is why we have ratings and this is why we have a report system.
Splitting up servers won't do anything to change language like that, it won't change people making racist remarks, it won't change people breaking rules.

It’s inherently broken, useless at fixing the problem it purports to be trying to solve, and exacerbating other problems in its wake. No matter how you tweak it, splitting up the game into age-based servers will not help.
