I'm sorry, but I find it really irritating that any person who is acting like a complete dick towards a beginner in a game with a massive learning curve is branded "a 11/12/13 year old". It's not appropriate. As someone who knows what kind of actions are and aren't typical of a 12 year old, here is what you should and shouldn't look for when trying to identify one.

Typical of 11/12/13 year old:

-Seems to use smileys an lot
-May not be as bothered about spelling as some adults
-(if they're in your raiding guild, or something similar) Very talkative/joky in in-game chat, but inexplicably reluctant to go on/speak up on Vent, etc.

NOT definitive in regards to a 12 year old:

-Trollish
-Makes rape jokes very five seconds
-Yells at noobs for being new at the game
-Moany
-Spams recount/GS/achievement obsessively

The correct term to describe a stupid asshole is "stupid asshole", not "13 year old"!
