I've never seen a group kick out one guy because he's level one on Bronze. It's the only way to build your character when you are first starting. I've seen one person try to kick a level one person out, but I ignore that crap. One person can't kick you out. I'm pretty sure you have to have three X's. Everyone has to get started somewhere. I only kick out guys who are screwing around on purpose or won't stop with the pointless commentary with their headsets. You know, guys who act like dicks.

But I haven't played a Bronze game in a while, so I don't know. Once you get the hang of it, you'll want to go up to Silver. Although people really will kick out your level one Vanguard there...

My advice....keep searching. If I hear an annoying voice right when I hit the lobby, I'm gone. I keep looking until I find a match with the right people. There are some non-elistist, non-jerks on Multiplayer. Trust me, if there wasn't, I wouldn't play it.

That happened to me tonight.  Mouse batteries died in wave 10, happily died and ran around the house looking for a battery, got it set up just in time for extraction.  It doesn't always mean someone is hiding.  You can usually tell if someone is AFKing for easy stuff, as everyone dies and view switches to the last person hiding in a corner.

I hate when that happens..... once in between waves (but i found batteries before I died). Once during extraction which isn't too dramatic.

I got kicked two days ago in Bronze because I didn't have a mic Oo
I was N7 180+ . . .

Then yesterday I played Gold random for the first time. I hosted as a Salarian Engineer. Still without a mic. And nobody left and we survived without communicating. It does work.

I find it highly unlikely that someone was kicked from several bronze matches simply because they had a low level.

You couldn't, as lots of peolpe have pointed out have no kicking on bronze, as there are lots of perfectly reasonable reasons to kick someone, like taking far too long to hit ready, being offensive on the headset in game or lurking.

I hate new players being kicked in bronze, infact i'll usually go out my way to watch their back (don't want someones first experience of the game to be getting kicked or ko'd and not revived), I don't even like kicking in silver for low level as i've regularly seem friends at sub level 5 outscore level 20 players on silver. Expecting high levels on gold is reasonable, there will be gaming gods who can solo gold with a level 1 volus carrying only Specialist Traynors toothbrush but they are rare.

On a level cap for bronze, please no.

I'm good with an Engineer or an Infilrator and I can happily hold my own in silver or gold (If i'm in a good team) but I'm pretty useless with a Krogan soldier. I do enjoy playing as one though, running around headbutting things with relative ease and for that reason even though i'm n7 200+ with good weapons I like the option of a less difficult game on bronze, where I can play the characters i'm less effective with without having to be revived every round or two.

And that kick that seemed to infuriate you so made you waste less time than writing this post. Why not just roll with it and requeue?

Kicking is a necessary feature, else a player could just go AFK forever in the lobby and force everyone else to leave, which is a shame sometimes when you have a nice team.

Here's an interesting tidbit of info for you: most hackers hack on bronze. The difficulty doesn't matter when you're getting 40 million credits from wave 10. If an individual has data reporting on it can get them caught and thus banned. If this was the case they may have kicked you as a precaution due to your low level and assuming you'd be opposed to their cheating and not willing to turn your data collection off. The credit glitchers also start off in bronze before glitching on gold. They assume that a n7 16 will have no idea how to or desire to glitch with them so they kick. If either of these were the cases, you're better off not having been in those games.

 People that are high levels kicking other people from bronze matches are the bad players if they think having a new player on bronze will cause mission failure and them not obtaining the mere like 15k in game credits ....... Sad people are this bad at the game after playing the multiplayer so long ..... I feel bad for the original poster. Remove kick from bronze games!

I've been in quite a few groups where if the host wasnt top of rankings they ragequit =/
Even had a host ragequit half way through wave 10 =/
I have noticed that if anyone goes offline and quits group then there's no replacement for the player anymore, was that stopped now ? on a side note: the times where i've been in groups where we 3 manned the whole thing i've lost count of. Infact some of these 3 man groups were more fun as everyone looked out for each other all the more.

I'll kick people in bronze for a couple reasons.
1. Not readying up within a reasonable timeframe. Pick your powers before joining a match, please.
2. Going AFK in the match and letting everyone else carry you. Pull your weight.
3. Trolling / Griefing. If you take an SMG and follow around your teammates shooting them to screw with their aim, you're gone. Same goes for the idiots playing music over their microphones.

Aside from that? I might mock you behind your back for your idiocy (an adept with a mantis and a mattock? really?) but I won't kick you.

What class were you OP?

I don't like playing with Drell (I can't stand the constant Drellstep from Reave) and find it boring to play Bronze with Human Vanguards or Krogans as you don't really get a chance to do anything. But generally I prefer to leave rather than kick unless I'm playing with friends.

One other reason for kicks on BRONZE is having a mic that's always on in a very noisy environment. I admit it's really annoying to listen to someone eating and music and yelling in the background.

But kicking for low levels on BRONZE is total crap.

I do feel its a shame to get kicked when you are new, Im only at 58 and mainly play bronze but would like to enjoy silver instead of getting kicked out. It is frustrating as it takes ages to load on PS3 before trying to join a gaim again. Please people, lets just be nice to each other, its a game and a good game at that.

Kicking on bronze is ridiculous.

Join the Bronze Effect group. social.bioware.com/group/7080/

I've met really wonderful people thru this group and it's a fun time.

Maybe they can't play on Silver and Gold because they suck, and they kicked you because they didn't want you to laugh at them for being terrible?

Thankfully, all those three are pretty rare. I don't mind chilling on Bronze with my level 20 characters. It's a nice break from gold difficulty, and if I end up carrying a low level team I don't really mind.

Bronze is easy enough where even if the true level 2 does decide to go in and start whacking at a group of pyros it's really not a big deal. So you have three people. you've got waves of like 10 people to kill. No big deal.. there is no proving yourself. you can play horribly on bronze that's what it's for. 

if you are kicking anyone on bronze you're a Douche. End... OF... Story.. 


Bronze is certainly the level on which to learn the game and get your characters to level 10+.  That doesn't mean that every Bronze game is "for" playing horribly.  As a pure, direct democracy, a game is for what the majority of its players decide it is for (within fairly broad limits of hate speech, etc.). 

The events described by the OP are unfortunate.  They aren't worth banning the ability to kick on Bronze over.  The OP has, through the course of registering complaints, found several gamers willing to help him get started, which means he can't be kicked out of a game with one of these players in it because the three necessary votes won't be available.  Sounds like a good outcome.

Kicking on bronze is ridiculous.

I got in with level 14 on a gold game. Talk about trust.

So did I.
But that level 14 had a Black Widow and an incredibly high N7 rating.
Not to mention that he proved to be more of a help than the other level 20s...

I specifically look for low levels, because I like to help people out. Why are these elitists playing bronze anyway?

When first starting out, it can be frustrating (mostly because your N7 rating is single digit....), but banning kicks from Bronze is not the answer.

I disagree about an N7 cap for Bronze as my N7 rating is starting to go up a bit but I'm still a LONG way from having good enough equipment for Silver (and I know I'm not good enough yet as well).

Huh it sounds like you have really bad luck m8. I've never been kicked from a game. I think my N7 score is only 80 or 90 which I think is pretty low considering there are people with 5k N7 out there.
