Like the title says, I feel like the Age shown on a character should be reverted back to showing the exact number of years the character has been alive, rather than the current 'Young Teenager', 'Teenager', 'Young Adult', 'Adult' and 'Elder' system.
With the system as it is now, its far too easy to misinterpret a player's age by assuming what the description says. I.e: A player who is 17, being RPed at as if they are a kid just hitting puberty at 13.
--------
I just don't see any real benefits to showing a word description for someone's age, instead of a number, aside from the potential of allowing questionable age edits that people are unaware of, which hasn't happened to my knowledge, but is still the sole 'benefit' I can picture from the description age over a numerical one.
