Why the hate on randoms and why the age requirement?
From past experiences, people who are generally above the set age requirement are easier to handle in terms of maturity. You may argue "but what if there is a 13 year old who has the maturity of at 18 year old?" well unfortunately we cannot possibly compensate for every single individual.
Adding on to that, we also tailor the age requirement with the Singapore school system and National service for those in Singapore. At 15, students (express) are 1 year away from their O levels and will be a good time to ingrain some practice regiments to help them maintain discipline. With that it comes with the added benefit of applying that same logic of discipline to studying. Of course like I mentioned earlier, we cannot compensate for everyone, if not it will not be fair to other applicants.
Randoms is usually an exceptional case. We think focusing efforts on one race is much easier and gives better results/progress than a random race. Unless of course, you have talent for it, then it will fall under consideration. Generally, we encourage players to pick their race and play with it.
