Yes I'm talking to you mr N7 rating <50 and trying with a character at level 15 or less and rocking your crappy SMG or Mantis on a class it just doesn't belong.

I seriously don't see why certain people even try to do gold with terrible gear/characters/experience.

I've seen players with level 20 characters and N7 rating higher than 100 and still fail at gold miserably.

They shouldn't be in a gold game, though sometimes it's not their fault.

More than a couple of times I have queued for silver to level a mid-level character, or test out a new random build and the game decided to just throw me into a gold game for the hell of it.

Though when that happens I either leave, or switch to something that I have built for playing on gold.

[LadyAlekto]

Well in the demo i rocked gold with 14+ sentinel/infiltrator and soldiers 17 up

But seeing how many people with a n7 past 200 fail miserably at silver i will never ever pub gold, especially as long as my best weapon is a avenger x

[kieran.me]

i'll kick you because

you're less then N7 80
if i do not think you're weapon combinations don't suit your class
you're playing a weapons focused class under level 18 or a tech/biotic class under 15
your class doesn't complement what we already have or wish to get

and this is why i rarely fail gold with pugs

If it's chocolate chip, then yes. Yes I do want a cookie.

Two remarks: newbies do not pay attention to the search criteria so they may appear in a gold lobby without having any clue what is going to come. I did on my very first day, using the search criteria was the first thing I learned :-)

Second, the game itself sometimes places you into a higher level then you were looking for. I do not know why, but I learned to pay attention to the lobby parameters and not to rely on the search system.

And you are absolutely right that you need a well developed character to challenge your skills on gold. Since my day 1 I never played gold again. I am still not satisfied with the equipment of my character. Maybe I never will be as I am playing a human soldier and found that this class has less potential then other classes. There is a reason that you have silver and gold classes. Looking at the gold classes I see that no human class is within that set.

i have a theory behind that

when you change the settings for a match they don't update to the server, so people will join your match thinking it's silver but the host changed the setting to gold but it only reognises it as gold when the match starts

That's not the game but the host changing levels. The search might catch it right before the change. I don't think I've ever joined game in progress that was above the search parameters. YMMV

Also worth noting that the default option is random difficulty. It probably should be Bronze since N7 1 level 1 in gold or silver is likely to get kicked, or just be ineffective in the game. It's not really fun for anyone involved.

[IonSilverbolt]

You could always tell them nicely what they're doing wrong over the mic before kicking them. A lot of these players are new to MP as well since this a first for the Mass Effect series. Also, some just might stumble in hoping to boost their galactic readiness and not knowing how tough gold is.

A remark about N7 ratings. Do not value them too high. I have a N7 rating of around 58, but that is for experience derived from buying packs. I never played any other char then my two soldiers G.I. Joe und G.I. Jane. I created some more chars to see what skills and properties they have. I have a level 14 krogan sentinel I never played but he adds to my N7 rating.

[Blayzereborn]

Yeah, every so often the game decides it knows better than I do what sort of game I should be queueing for.

[KiraTsukasa]

And I feel no regret when I kick gold kickers from a bronze game.

So there.

 I don't care what level you are. If you can be a suitable meat shield to sponge a few extra rounds for me during the wave it's fine by me. I'll finish that wave for ya. XD Did it the other day against gold reapers when my friend wanted to test a level 2 charachter or start the charachter back up or something lame like that. He and our other 2 friends went down leaving me as a level uh .... crap I forgot what I was using but it was under level 18. Oh did I mention this was an objective wave with 3/4 things to deactivate still?

Yea I love using a low level/recently promoted charachter and switch the search to bonze/ilver then be put into a gold game hosted by a level 1 who is already set up as ready XD

I feel no regret for kicking those people who joined my lobby, who, in the past, voted me out because I was top of the leaderboard eventhough I was the one who keep rezing their dumbasses because they thought gold was easy.
I would like my cookie now plz.

Joined a bronze one day and decided to do my normal thing with the first wave, only to die with the first bullet
Thankfully every one else died after 20 seconds and back in the ready screen it was suddently showing gold, that was a pretty nice facepalm moment wondering "why did it say bronze...?"

What leaderboard are you the top of? (if you are talking the inround one, I more or less always come in for the top two slots unless I'm playing with people who are actually good)

Also I tend to die less than my allies when playing, mostly out of common sense, mostly because its pub.

Sorry for kicking noobs, but I'd rather not waste my time losing, and watching you die and populate the bottom of the leaderboard isn't my idea of fun. I can't solo gold unfortunately, if I would I wouldn't play with a party.

There's some serious epeening going on in here.

Depends on skill.

I've kicked ass on gold with some people with low N7 ratings because they knew how to play and other times found myself reviving particular players often and they had the highest N7 ratings in the group.

This sounds like when gearscore became apparent in WoW - people were more focused on gear and rating rather than SKILL.
