Funny that people say they only play for credits but then want a high N7 to play with them.

LOL At the hypocrisy

There's no hypocrisy. We have only the loadout and N7 rating by which to judge someone. If they have a mike I'm 99% less likely to kick.

Why I kick: Because a good team means a 20-30 minute experience I enjoy. A bad team or a team with 1 really stupid player means 30-40 minutes of hell at best, and no wave 6 payout at worst. Also, wiping on wave 8 is equally aggravating. Thus, without a different way of telling player skill, I look at level, class, loadout, and N7 rating in that order.

N7 rating under 120 means they DEFINITELY have not played each class fully. This is important because if they've spent time getting to understand each class's mechanics, they can better understand their role in the team and thus play better.

The higher the N7 rating, the more often they promoted. Now, unless your going to tell me you nailed your spec for each and every character and know for a fact its perfect (which you can't because you haven't tried out any other spec), you haven't experimented with different specs/loadouts to determine an optimal build for your play style. That's the true value in the N7 ratings. Past 200/300 they get pointless and can sometimes indicate a lazy player.

Another reason N7 ratings get higher is because the player has maxed his/her gold weapons and needs to promote or else waste all that character cards. Saving up 7 million credits should bring all classes back up to 18-20.

Consider this a life lesson OP. I'm a hiring manager and I'll tell you right now, I don't hire strangers with a bad resume. To be frank, you resume doesn't look all that great. Just suck it up and get around 150-200. It really doesn't take that long. I know this is just a game, but game sessions aren't even enjoyable with bad or underpowered players on your team in gold. You could be the greatest FPS player in the western hemisphere, but I have no way of knowing that. If you're really that good, getting to 150-200 and a few level 3 or 4 gold/rare weapons shouldn't take you that long.

[Scalabrine]

I'd let you play if you don't have a bull**** class and a high level character. Ex. N7 90 with a lvl 19-20 Infiltrator, SE or AD.

If you're an N7 350+ and wanna play as a human soldier you'll play.

Depends on the combination, at least i judge that way. If only people were as smart as i am bro.

Low N7 rating?
Low N7 weapons?
Kicked.
Playing a lvl 20 or a lvl 1 doesn't really matter to me, as long as you got good weapons (high N7 weapons) and/or extended experience (high N7 rating).

[prazision]

The people I've played with that have VERY high N7 ratings (anything over 1000 especially) are by far the worst players I have encountered. It's not hard to understand why - they probably play mostly Bronze/Silver and promote as soon as they hit 20, so they have very little experience playing with the advanced strategies available at higher class levels.

I only kick people from Gold matches if their N7 is less than 100 and their weapons are level 1, or they're using SMG Ultralight Materials and don't listen to me when I explain to them that those don't work.

Also if someone has a name like xCyB3r_Fr3aKx it's a fairly safe bet they're bad at the game.

I don't understand people without mics, either. They cost like $10 and without a mic you're not an asset to the team no matter how high your skill level, because you can't do something as simple as warn me about the Phantom sneaking up behind me.

but is it the person without a mic's fault that your situational awareness sucks? 

on topic, I try not to kick low level people on Gold until I play at least one round with them and they prove to be a burden and a frustrating teammate to play with. but sometimes I just don't want to bother, either.

Plain bull****. You absolutely don't need mic to play well. I hope I'll never play with you. If you let phantom to backstab you, you're not that great that you think about yourself

right? so sorry you can't keep an eye on one little phantom

[Altair_Ravenwood]

I never kick people regardless of thier N7 Ranking, or equipment they have or even if they have a mic or not, I have a Mic yes, but it is on the blink so i can't always use it.

The reason why i don't kick people? Simple you can't grow in experience if you can't play in matches, its something i have seen on all three Challenges even Bronze for Spirits sake. Granted i may have doubts about their skill i tend to stick close to them and if possible give them help over the mic. But that's just me.

[SlimJim0725]

Phantoms are cake and any decent player/team can deal with them with or without a headset. If you can't be bothered to check your own back every oncein a while I wouldn't want you on my team anyways as you are the liability. I have played with plenty of people that don't use/have a mic and were/are great teammates. Sometimes I choose not to use mine if I don't want to talk to random people, I can promise the Phantom(s) don't slip by me unless I get taken down and by then you can see what took me down and prepare yourself.

[prazision]

No matter how good I am at the game, it is still a plain fact that a team with mics will communicate better than a team without mics because a team without mics literally can not communicate at all.

The fact that anyone would even argue this point is proof of how dense the average player is!

[SlimJim0725]

Or how dense you are that you would kick someone using a proper loadout just because they dont have a mic. You obviously aren't very good at the game if you can not overcome that issue. I have played many matches where nobody talks the entire game (with or without mic) and things still worked fine since most gold players using a proper loadout know what they are doing. Again, you wouldn't be an ideal teammate to me if you don't already know how to play the game.

Low n7 or ridiculous loadout and not using a mic is one thing, but just being unwilling to play with some just for not having/using a mic is absurd.

Gold isn't so hard that you need high level gear. I only have Carnifex III (or IV now I think) on my Asari Adept, who needs X?

You're seriously trying to argue that you don't need high level gear on Gold... because you succeed without it... on an ASARI ADEPT.

Wow. I just... I mean...

Yeah, words are failing me here.

*facepalm* Ever heard of irony? 2 points here. 1 is that ludicrous example shows the stupidity of kicking in general. Widow I on SI or Carnifex I on AA? Neither matter over having the X  version of them. (Relates to TC's manifest).

Secondly I don't have 200% cooldown with it, which some people would find kick worthy. Which again highlights the ridiculousness of some kickers.

They really need to invent a sarcasm font.

[Axialbloom]

Well, you have not maxed all characters even once. That said, if you have an Asari Adept and a Carnifex, you should be good.

Read my post again.  Did I say I kick people without mics?  I simply said I do not UNDERSTAND them.  I have played games with people that do not have mics and had success - but a mic only costs $10 or less, and even worse, having a mic but not using it because you have some kind of weird social anxiety is just sub-optimal.

[Dream]

Mics might be cheap but people aren't obligated to go out and buy one if they don't want to use one.

If they have one and they're not using it they might just be in a live chat and can't communicate with you, anyway.

[RavenousBear]

In my experiences, mics are not always helpful. In fact, many use their mics to yell at others, play loud music, or whine about something.

I have a mic, but I do not always use it for my games. Many players are aware of their surroundings.

Mics are an valueable advantage. All those times I wish I had my mic on, including one time when our two snipers were about to be jumped by five Geth Pyro units... "TURN AROUND! I'm shooting in the direction behind you!"

To be fair, have you ever entered a lobby with 2 (or 3) people on mics having their own conversations? And when in the game you chip in with a warning or whatever and they just ignore you? Then after one of them gets killed by the phantom you just warned them about, suddenly that guy yells 'OMG we gut a phantom holy $$#%'

Yeah. Not fun. Plus some people might only play 1 or 2 games online. Not worth going out to buy a mic for it. I wouldn't go out now and buy one if I hadn't started using an old usb one my brother doesn't use.

[SlimJim0725]

Apologies for assuming in a topic about kicking you mention something like that and I assume you kick. Either way, communication with players you can tell are experienced is still something that is not necessary and at the rate these headsets at least on the Xbox fail $10 to keep going and spending adds up. My current headset is faulty and is only 4 months old. It randomly stopped playing sound and sometimes gives the whistle feedback. After this being my 4th or 5th one that has had an issue I will not be wasting money on another one (and they are $20 new most places, can't risk buying one used).

Honestly bro, there's so many morons playing online that I'd probably kick you myself. Because why risk it? There's a greater chance that you suck at N7 90 rating than that you're good. Basically it boils down to this: The higher your N7 rating is, the more games you've played. The more games you've played the more cash you've earned for gear. The more games you've played, the better you understand the maps and the classes.

My tip is either: A) deal with it or level up your N7 rating. Now I don't give a **** about N7 rating, in fact, I'm 210 myself and I'm not interested in promoting any characters. It's just not fun for me. But I've got the skill and the gear so I'm in the safe zone.
