My weapons are fine atm, my goto right now is usually m-98 widow IV, however I see no point in pretiege ranking and feel your pain there. I've had my balls busted a few times for it, never been kicked, but still. Basically my feeling is unless I'm competing with the top 20 in the US or something...which rly who the hell has time for that then why bother. The single player war assets gained are worthless, I would probably consider doing it if it gave some kind of credit reward though, maybe 100k'ish per lvl 20 would be nice enough reason (maybe make it a choice between SP war assets and MP credits?). And this should go without saying but ya a high # next to someones name that can give me a vague idea of how much they've played MP means absolutely nothing as I've played with mediocre N7 ranks of 300+ and players as good as the best I've seen be only N7 rank ~100. I should also point out I usually farm gold matches at this point, excluding reapers of course lol. Sometimes if the LFG tool continues to group me w/ subpar or unprepared players in gold I'll go down to silver. I also play silver if I don't want to play asari adept or infiltrator, I know other classes are capable on gold, but witht the heavy reliance on teamplay in a pug gold match I try to stick w/ what I know is gonna work.

Anywho, I agree with the OP. I've never been kicked iirc, but when your n7 rank, character level, and weapons are at least right below or on level with silver or gold, then... yeah. wtf?

[vladgd]

if a low N7 joins my gold game, im kicking him.

i know N7 doesnt tell you how good a player is, but generally i see low N7 players doing a lot more stupid things than high N7 players.

i know there are excpetions, but if i don't know you, N7 level and gear is all i have to go by really.

Well that's your call to make, but I don't agree with it.

Especially if you're not using a microphone. You can't even lie to me and tell me you're good and played the demo or are on a second account if you don't have a microphone. Low N7 really does usually mean bad player. I don't want to sound like an elitist, and I don't care if anyone thinks I am but if you're awful at this game and can't even beat Silver without three people carrying you then stay the hell away from Gold.

Good, that was the intended response.

On the other hand, a somewhat low N7 level of 50-60 means that the player is probably interested in gold runs rather than promoting. You can't give a reason for your judgement that can't be countered in this case. It is what you feel on your hunch and do. Personally, I would kick a N7 xxxx with a level 3-4 character in a silver/gold game, but will give it a try with a N7 20 who has a level 20 character.

The Phalanx is a fine weapon and fills any roll for a power spammer build, which I play with my engineers. I own every pistol in game available - with the exception of Eagle and Scorpion - and I always come back to the 'Lanx. Always aim for the head and she'll treat you right.

As for the E-peen waggers, don't do gold. Filled with enemy spam that forces you to pigeon hole the class you want to play in order to survive, so lazy.

I'd feel inclined to kick the guy from gold, but I'd inspect his gear first. If it looks like he knows what's up, or at least seems to have a cohesive strategy in mind then I'd have no problem keeping him in the group. Silver? No problem at all.

Promoting endlessly reminds me of those who keep playing COD and do Prestige so they can unlock a stupid colored medal to go along their names, no really a point though but they do it either way just to show they play that game 24/7 honing the skillzzz.

Old post, I know, but I promote a lot, simply because I like the challenge of leveling up. It doesn't have anything to do with my N7 rating (which I wish was actually a couple of hundred points lower).

Promoting allows you to theorycraft and try new builds all the time, without having to waste reset cards. And while I'm no expert, I think competing with low level characters is a good way to train and build skills.

Basically, don't assume.

To address your original point: I don't usually play gold public games, so I don't know how prevalent this is, but if I were you I'd just find another lobby, even if I had to keep looking. Decent people are out there, and most of us realize that this is just a game.

I won't play where I'm not wanted. Why would anyone?

We played with some ramdom asari adept in gold against Reapers, we needed 1 more so changed it to public and that person joined in a few seconds. 

N7 rank 87 or around that, forgot to check the gear.
As soon as the match started i noticed he was using a shotgun and geth assault rifle, so i can imagine the infernal cooldowns.
We got wiped at wave 4 i believe.
Nevertheless told him to change the gear to something that can fit the play style of that class. He went with the same 2 items :|
Wiped again, so... yeah... got kicked next round, at least i tried to communicate.

I'm not into kicking other players, but lower than 17 and using that kinda gear on gold, makes you wonder...

I'm staying at 120 N7 rating when I reach it.

I feel no need to export characters to a game I already beat. That said, these guys are just a bunch of, and I quote, "blind, stubborn morons".

that's my plan, and my soldier   hit level 18 last night.  I used the bonus xp this weekend to rank up as much as possible.  from there, I plan to just stay at 120.

 Anyone who kicks you for an unfair, arbitrary reason is someone you don't want to play with anyway.

OP you make a good point actually but another thing that bothers me is that say i'm rank 398 now but when you promote you get to lvl so it's back to bronze matches and they do kick you a lot if you're high on bronze i did get kicked 5 times in a row which is damn bothersome too, i hope Bioware adresses this issue somehow cause there is way too many kick happy people one way or another !

Kicked on Bronze for having a high N7 ranking?  That's messed up.

Which platform are you playing on?  

[andomguy666uk]

N7 means nothing to me. I only look at the Level of the class, race, and weapons.

[Ghax0r]

Those guys deserve a trashing! I dun see n7 ratings for gold matches hehe as long as its a lvl 20, with the correct weapons, its really just a game. Clear is clear, fail is fail =D

[OmegaDestroyer]

The only time I see anybody getting kicked on bronze is for inactivity on the PC. That's strange. Even with a high N7 level, it's stupid to kick low-level characters from bronze.

[Prism]

What I don't understand is why would you kick someone is he has a "low" N7 rating rather than the actual level of his character. Didn't happen to me (yet), but, for example, I've gotten to 130 N7 and it won't be going up anytime soon, simply because now I prefer to play only with the two characters I've worked to unlock (namely the Asari Adept and Quarian Infiltrator).

Got kicked yesterday from bronze with a lvl 18 soldier. I have nice enough stuff form bronze, but they kicked me right after i joined. If they waited for someone it woulda been nice to them explain...

Same here. I like to level up different builds, so I promote. 


 I only kick if the player visibly don't know what he is doing, like adepts carrying a lot of weight. Some times I try to teach them why they shouldn't do that, but I'm not always in the mood to do so..
