I don't have that many weapons, and they're all <4, few mods usually just play characters until they're level 20 and then switch to another. I've tried silver a few times, but I think less than than 50% have been successful. I'm still trying to find a character, and weapon/s, I really like so I don't really see any reason to cripple a team on silver/gold while I'm still experimenting.

I mainly just want to unlock new characters (really want a geth infiltrator) and weapons to try, and successful bronze games give more credits (and are more fun) than silver games that fail on wave 6-8.

I'll probably only ever play my Krogran soldier on Bronze for safety reasons. Hella fun though.

[vladgd]

i am to the point where if i want to mess around ill play silver.

though i guess if i was to play bronze it would be to do the same thing, only with my eyes closed.

Easy 15,000 credits for a 15-20 minute game (depending on who your playing with).

For Fun, trying out new characters or character rarely used, I use my Battlfield 3 soldier mostly in Bronze and Silver (Avenger X with some mods I basically spam Carnage and use Adrenaline Rush) just to mix things up a bit.

Trial and Error, testing out powers and weapons, getting a good feel for your character. I did this with my Geth Infiltrator considering my Salarian Infitrator has Energy Drain I mainly wanted to get a feel for what my Geth Infiltrator can do with the right weapons.

I never played my Vanguard, yet it was lvl20 from trash cards. I felt like i needed some practice before bothering people on silver and gold with him. Not that i ever made it that far - it is a retarded class! Anyone argueing that vanguards are not created to cater to kids (or people unhapy with their penis size) are either:

A) a liar
part of the targeted segment

My girlfriend says size doesn't matter, but sometimes I worry...

Because Silver wave 6+ kicks my ass, I don't even want to think about Gold.

Another reason that haven't been said yet (for me at least) is equipment saving. On Bronze games, most of the time I never get downed so no medigel is needed, the enemies don't come in big packs and the bigger enemies like Atlases only come one at a time so no rocket is required, and because of the relatively low health of the enemies no rail amps or ammo powers are needed to do decent damage.

Combined with the fact that a bronze match usually gives enough for about 3 recruit (which I feel are the best ones to stock up on equipment out of the normal 3 packs), playing bronze is a good way to stock up on medigels, rockets etc to prepare for silver or gold. Using level 20 characters are just to make sure that I complete the whole round without problems.

When I'm learning a new character, I play Bronze no matter the difficulty. When I play with a select group of friends, I always play Bronze; one of them isn't that skilled, and the rest leave me in stitches so often that playing on a higher difficulty will leave me constantly dead. I play on Bronze to relax and just enjoy a casual game. I play on Bronze when I first log on for the day, or when I've been playing a different game for a while -- it helps me get back into the basics, reminds me of what my weapons are like, etc. I play on Bronze before I go to bed; games that actually get the adrenaline going a bit don't help me sleep. I play on Bronze when I'm close to buying (insert pack here) and want to get it NOW. I play on Bronze when my friends aren't on and I don't want to deal with terrible players who think they're all that and a bag of chips.

Some friends? I only play Gold with. Others, I stick to Silver. All my characters are level 20, and I don't plan on promoting them soon, so why shouldn't I (gasp) play the difficulty that I want if I'm not dragging the team down?

It's funny how people who can't click well with a class blame the people who play it in some way. Such melodrama! 

[SiIencE]

I've been playing Bronze mostly also, sometimes an easy silver run (FBW+Geth or Hydra/any enemy) but i guess i must be getting old, silver is kinda stressful and bronze is kinda to easy if nothing goes wrong.

Also i'm trying to get my Asari Adept and Turian Sentinel into Silver games but i think i'll have to respec to the cookie cutter build for both. But since i got my N7-Valliant I i kinda like playing QI (Full sabo/cloak no grenades) for some reason, it's just to much fun VS Geth.

When i play 1 Silver game i have the feeling I've ran 2 bronze games. Maybe because there are much more enemies or something. And in like any other game i don't wanna ruin other peoples fun with my ****ty (Somewhat better now) weapons. Where i'm 1st on Bronze most of the time i'm almost always last or 3rd place on silver off course if you made it that's still good but when your score is half or less then NR1 i don't really feel like i made a difference.

I've got a N7 rating of 621 but I've only gotten the starting weapons on X everything else is just IV - V or VI... When i get the upgrades i want and specs right and more experience with other classes maybe Silver will become basic but as it is now... nah.

Also when playing a Silver pug some matches took about 25 - 30 minutes, while some of the bronze games lasted like 11minutes these games did have some really good players in them.

But i got this problem in most games, i can't commit to 1 class/spec, where in like WoW i had all classes @ max level. I like variation.

[BellaStrega]

I prefer to play silver and haven't done much gold. I play in bronze to experiment with builds, weapons, new characters, etc. so I don't bring the entire team down in silver. I also find on some nights that I can't seem to get into a team that can at least complete the wave 10 objective, so the credits/minute is at least higher on bronze.

And sometimes I just don't feel up to silver.

Unfortunately, I'm nearing the point where this might become the case for me as well.  

I've been living pack-to-pack on medigels for a while, but I've managed to get by, and I've been fine on the other consumables.  I'm now down to 20-something rockets though -- it irritates me that people on silver/gold seem so stingy with them.  If it's an assassination round and it's a can't-miss Atlas, rocket that fat MFer or more bonus monies!!!  Hack zone's surrounded by primes/banshees/atlases stacked like dominoes?  ROCKET time - everyone's life just became a whole lot easier!!  Does that option not occur to some people, or are they just banking on people like me taking one for the team?

 I had to reset my character to reverse some of the choices I made so I was playing bronze to level up and I found myself playing with a lot of level 20's.  Why would you do this?  In bronze it takes 5-6 successful runs to earn a spectre pack and it is so easy it isn't even that fun.  

Because Im from Australia where playing with internationals often means 3 second latency or a complete lag fest and there aren't many Aussies playing the same time as myself (plus Im not good enough to play Gold,where most Aussies are).

Its bearable and still fun in Bronze,downright scary in Silver and well,Gold,I think you get the picture.

[greghorvath]

examples:
1. remapping keys. playing for practice
2. trying out new character for first time and sucking at it. I usually do this on silver and get constant facepalm reactions fromt he rest of the team. Which is pretty annoying at n7 +700...
3. weapons test. before going into a hardcore battle equipped with something looking like the Cain and working as a peashoo, it may be wiser trying it out first.
4. why not?

And of course a number of other reasons I do not have the capacity to elaborate on...

[Phaezen1]

experimenting with class/power/weapon combos or just playing a class I don't do to well with in higher tiers, such as soldier or vanguard

Or for what ever reason I am just not playing well

What you mean like the people that join your silver or gold game who are level 5 10 15 and then after they see the first mob is hard to kill they leave and you end up alone or with another player? I rather take my 20 and go clear a bronze map see how the level 5's like it then:))

Seriously talking I do it for the same reasons the above do, check a class out, learn how to play them, I just want an easy game... since again a silver may be fun or we can die after 2 waves... or players on a rating of under 100 with a level 5 vanguard will join then leave you after a few waves because it is too hard and they keep dying which geos back to my initial joke... not a joke at all.

[Warden130]

I have been playing a bit of bronze lately due to the DLC. I use Bronze to test out new classes, weapons and builds. And sometimes if I have been having bad luck in finding good groups in the higher difficulties, I like to play a bronze match or two. Its a lot less stressful.

[Troffeltjie]

I basically just play silver. Played gold a few times, but getting the right team mates to join a pub match is a daunting task.

[MuteSyndrome]

Um, I have a 3 level 20s. I just played my first silver match today. Lol. We died wave 7. By the third and fourth silver I had it down. It's just a learning curve...if you want to not suck you have to practice, and if you want to practice you have to not get killed 10 seconds in every wave. ;D

[N7 Banshee Bait]

Because most times I just don't feel like dealing with 4-6 Atlases & 20 Phantoms.

[Gashie]

Because I have 4995 credits, run out of medi-gel, and hoping for one at least in recruit pack for me to bring in a subsequent gold.

Otherwise... it's fun and relaxing and a good way to test out new stuff/builds with a team.

[soulstriker09]

chill out

[KTheAlchemist]

+ Because I'm very few credits shy of the pack that I want, and I don't feel like slogging through another gold before I can get it.

+ Because I'm trying out some goofy new build / weapon setup.

+ Because I feel like roflstomping something and relaxing as a change of pace from the intensity of a gold match.

[joker_jack]

I like playing my level 20 Kroguard on bronze after a crappy day. Nice to way unwind when you hear that train coming. For Gold that's what my AA and GE are for.
