I've been watching how the dynamics of gold matchs have changed over time and I've noticed people seem to have a propensity to expose themselves to more and more risk in order to get a higher score. This seems especially true for the person in the bottom rank. To this extent I was hoping some community discussion could shed some light on weither or not having match scores has increased or decreased their game experience and how folks feel not having them might impact on their games.

I think encouraging people to compete in a cooperative game is weird and unnatural.

No. Score may not be that great for figuring out who's contributing the most, but it's useful for figuring out leachers and terribads. Also for figuring out when my own build is lacking.

[Vespervin]

It doesn't really bother me either way,

I'll stop playing if they remove it
There are easy matches sometimes. I have nothing else to do except trying to outscore the others. Even if I die, others can easely 'trio' the entire wave without problems

The problem is stupid players

Maybe hide it and show only after the end of the game?

You're playing with the wrong people. I know it's difficult to find good players who want to help one another instead of not taking cover and exposing themselves more to injury and death. Maybe start playing with people from here? You're chances of finding those who don't care about score will become much greater.

In 6 hrs of Gold matches last night, I didn't look at the score once during. With the much shortened time between waves, scores were the last thing on my mind. Hell I wasn't even paying attention to the wave count until we'd got to 10 and make sure we got thru it to get the bonus. Stay faaaaaar away from Gold Geth on Condor....nightmare inducing!

Score is a fail, even for this. With the medals, you'd still know who's terribad/leaching and you can still evaluate your builds.

[Holy-Hamster]

No, even though I'm a teamplayer I still like to push myself to beat my own scores.

not sure if sarcasm.competetion is human nature.no to communism.i need the score to estimate new builds,and ofc sort out underachievers.

[Jernau11]

One possible solution might be tracking the number of deaths a player has over their games and displaying it. An average death per matches score.

[bclagge]

NO. It's fine the way it is. I want the game to track MORE stats, not less.

[confiscate]

Better to remove ranks. Then you won't have people keep kicking you from lobbies solely because they don't like your rank without seeing your skill or what else you offer.

Are there any stats you could recommend be tracked that might deter people from engadging in more riskful behavior for sake of their score? Something that might balance this trend, which seems to be fueled by score?

You have no idea what it's fueled by.  You're making a giant assumption of the motives of a vast variety of people.  Odds are they're just doing their best and aren't that great.

This. Besides scores are a good way to see whether one's build works or not. 

[N7 Banshee Bait]

YES! I want them removed. Too many players only care about being on top. They run around like idiots trying to get all the kills as fast as possible. Just as annoying as leechers.

Also, snipers & head shots usually ALWAYS get top scores. Doesn't matter how well you play, head shots do the most damage so they automatically get the top spot.  You can't beat head shots. A player with a Widow or Mantis will usually always get the highest scores.  Total BS!  I run around in harms way taking on the enemy up close & the jackass sniper that just sits in the corner tops the board every time.

Nah I don't want them to be removed.Me and my friend just make a game out of it mostly to those who are in last place because it means they are winning (people may be confused on this one.We still get kills and none of us are leechers.It just means they are doing the least amount of work)

bad idea. A good player on Gold is going to have more deaths per match than an average player on silver and many more than even a bad player on bronze

[paincanbefun]

well...i see a positive effect from removing the scores.

still, if i have a really hard time completing, and then i see that one or more of the teammates has negligible contribution, i'm glad for the scores. of course, unless you really pay attention to names, this could be people leaving and then joining in progress...

i think that would be easy to figure out from how often they die.

allowing only each player to see their own score would be intresting tho.

[P51Mus7ang]

In game doesn't matter to me, with these desperate short times between waves, I generally have any time to look at it, end of game, IMHO needs to stay, as I tweak a setup, I need to know what is working and what is not.
