I have my own theories, but I would rather not voice them, but would rather see if I am correct.
In terms of younger players, I think the media has a lot to do with it. If you think about it, there is always something on the news about pedophilia, and I should imagine that kids around the Internet are often warned by their parents these days to be very weary of such. Children and younger players probably think that they are slightly at risk by being around adults in a game environment which they thought was just for children.

I'm not accusing any adult on GraalOnline of being a pedophile, but I think it is probably a reflex action for kids to display negativity to adults around Graal because they were so regularly warned by parents.

Then again, I am sure that you would do exactly the same to your kids.
