N7 Means Diddly Squat

Basically if you went down they just didn't revive you. I spent most of the mission just rezzing them and when I went down they let me bleed out. Hell the one time I went down within fingers distance of this guy and what did he do... carried on firing and then MOVED AWAY FROM ME. In the end I just left the game in disgust.
Now was there a "Be a Selfish Git" event I was unaware of? <_<

I've played with high rated N7's that were great about reviving (when it made sense) and others that were terrible...
As another poster said, dont stereotype them all, same goes for low level N7's SOME of them are actually good/helpful.

If your in a game an people are not reviving you don't blame them for failing to revive you, blame yourself for dieing in the first place.

-Low N7 (less than 100) means you haven't played the game as much.
-An N7 equal to your character level means this is your first ever character.
-N7 120 is someone who has maxed their characters and never promoted.
-N7 150 is someone who maxed their characters and promoted once.
We can make some educated guesses about a person's skill level based on this information. It is not a reliable indicator of skill, but there is correlation (since experience tends to be positively related to skill).

1) As a means to fix characters because retrain cards are constantly avoiding me.
2) As a means to boost War Assets to make my second playthrough more bearable, since I'm sick of combing planets for every bloody race's lost artifact and Shepard's myopic vision requiring me to come up within two bloody feet of an item to retrieve grid schematics/heating stabilizers/unwashed panties.
I don't know why anyone else would use it as a metric of skill. Edit: granted, as the above post states, N7 = character level obviously screams newbie, so that much of a metric I can understand. But after 120 it gets muddled.

I will absolutely leave you dead for the three following reasons:
- I will get killed reviving you. This does not improve our situation, and I trust me to clean the room more than you.
- You died in a bad spot. If you're halfway across the map from me or in a horde, you can gel or you can stay dead. Your call.
- You die often, deal little damage, and there is some risk in reviving you given where you died this time. I'm not jeopardizing the team to rez an anchor.
To put it bluntly: you have medigel. I expect you to stay down if it isn't necessary, and to use it if it is.

incorrect. N7 rating = epeen. Epeen is the most important stat in any online event.

Please note that N7 is just a value that typically represents how much time a player has invested into the game. It does not translate into skill or legitimate tactics.

I decide to stay with the group since I can tolerate some poor teamplay on bronze and we start the next mission. First thing Banshee-fodder Krogan does when we land is run up to me and start rage-blasting his shotgun in my face.
What the hell? I'm not running directly into a Banshee on extraction to res your butt because you thought you could melee an undamaged Banshee!
Am I nuts here?

Context plays a very important role in such criticism. I often leave randoms alone to enjoy their death when they go down in a far off corner or charge into a battle instead of tactically retreating from it. Likewise if I were to go down behind cover while supporting the team, I would expect to be revived due to my position. To claim that N7 rank means anything when you have not provided the context of the argument proves nothing.

Yeah i agree, usually means alot of time played not skill, i met a new friend at midnight launch at gamestop, so he had the game since it hit shelfs and he is still N7 120, because he doesnt want to promote, im thinking he might this weekend though, Anyway is always funny when we go with two randoms that ar higher than him, because he has unlocked some rare weapons, he has a javilin II plus almost a fully maxed geth shotgun and they always get pissed because they think they have played longer so they deserve it more than him LOL

Although earlier tonight the whole team went down on wave 9 and I finished soloing it against 3 phantoms and a bunch of guardians and some turrets. Good thing I was playing as a shotgun infiltrator, it allowed me to get up in their face easily...

I usually look beyond the rating. What class is the person using? Is he switching class to fit the team/faction/map? Is he using the appropriate loadout. The rank of the weapons?

You don't want to mess with those guys, they are really legit.

I am N7 400+ and I can guarantee that I will outperform anyone using an equal level class and race. Solely on the fact that I know more about the game than they do, from doing things for so much longer. I know exactly where enemies spawn based on your current location, I know exactly where each enemy type likes to take cover, and I know exactly how to do objectives.
96.5% of the time this is the case.
The other 3.5% is the rarity of someone who does not promote people.
If an even level (80) with good guns joins a game I will let them play since usually that means they just don't promote.
But if a level 46 joins, or 142 or something barely above an even number, that typically means he only promotes one-two classes. Especially if he has crap guns.
