....Under 120 I can understand, because it means they have never fully got all classes to level 20, but after that it's just plain stupid.

Sorry, but it's just plain stupid overall. A friend of mine in Romania and I play gold together all the time. All his characters are level 20 and he's consistantly at the top scorer and usually the first to revive or help the team.

His N7 capped at 60. He, like the op's team mate, sees no point in promoting. And promoting is the only thing N7 ranking denotes. Not skill. Only the ability to promote and play enough on bronze to promote again.

Myself, I promote just before spending a million or two in credits. It's the only way I don't get pissed about BLUE character cards in PSP's.

Tonight, an N7 20 dropped into our free spot w/ a level 20 Human Soldier and X and IX ultrarares equipped - apparently, he's been playing for weeks and only plays the same character (/snip)

Pics or it didn't happen. You are telling me that this person never received a single character card?! I smell BS or hax... not impressed.

OT, I originally decided 120 was where I would stay, after the first 'Promote' challenge, I reckoned 180 was the magic number... now I just don't want to scan planets any more, so I promote. Once I get ~1200-1500 I'll stop. I barely pay attention to N7, and only kick if a friend is going to join our lobby (and always send a message as to why). If some of you are as good as you say, with one other competent player you can carry 1-2 noobs in gold. Not easily, lol, but it can be done. All the chest thumping I read around here leads me to believe most of you could carry 3 lvl 1 N7s with ease... on gold. I can't even solo silver lol!

Who cares? Just play

To be fair, a low N7 rating indicates that the player lacks any experience with lower-level characters, due to never promoting. I'd still almost exclusively judge pre-game based on the character/weapons/equipments, but if I want to make room for a friend and if the builds are roughly similar, I'll give the low N7 the kick vote (which usually works, as people tend to kick on reflex). A good team player doesn't jut know how to play his/her own character optimally, but also knows how to work with others and deal with their strengths/defects even when they're not lvl 20.

Your N7 rating will not go up, regardless of character cards,  if you don't make a character. I smell not checking how the game works... not impressed.

N7 level means nothing. 120 is the max level without promoting any character, so you never know how much a person playerd and only 2 promotes bring you up to 180... my level by the way, just because of the 1 promotion event I took part in.

People that haven't played much have a N7 below 50 and these are the guys that haven't much experience, but you can't tell how many games and experience any other person has. Players with 120 can play all day long and beat gold solo with level 1 weapons or something like that, but you can't see it in their level.

People just have to learn that N7 means nothing and will never be able to tell you something about the players skill. I played with N7 2000 morons and low level guys that outperformed me.

N7 Rating is absolute useless. I can't even think about what BioWare thought how it could be a cool feature? Please tell me if you know what BioWares ideas were behind this senseless system.

[Serker31]

Asari Vanguard with claymore is pretty high on to-kick list, but if it is Claymore X, I'd rather give this man a chance. I prefer to judge by weapon loadout and not by N7 rating.

If true, sorry, but that was back in March... I've slept since them, lol! Does that only work at the beginning? Last time I promoted my soldier class I didn't make a new character till this past week, and after character cards, when I did make a Krogan, Batarian, and Vorcha for this weekend, I was lvl 12... no idea if my N7 went up before creation(again, don't really pay attention). That's silly:P

edit: so you can have six classes at level 20, but only an N7 of 20?!?!!

If you've never actually created a vanguard but still have one at level X due to character cards your N7 won't move a dot ^^.

As to if N7 having to be a certain level like some troglodyte's think no not really, hell if people starting whining about N7 level and kicking I normally just take that as an indication that I'll have a better time playing elsewhere then spending another second playing with them.

ive actually found that people with N7s over 500 are typically Worse players than those between 150-500.
That said, any with N7 between 500-2000 are usually average, 2000+ are good, but the best performers lurk around 300 N7

The promotion system is nothing but a gimmick to get people to play MP, as, at the time until the Android/Apple apps came out, the only way to get the assets needed into the SP game to unlock certain achievements and SP goodness, like new dialogue.

It doesn't matter if you promote or not. High or low, it only matters in the SP game.

N7 Rating means nothing!!

This...again, THIS.

N7 has NOTHING to do with skill...you can be N7 40 and be WAY better than N7 5000, if you chose to play only 2 classes and master them.

And that's actually a shame, I wish this rating could actually MEAN something. Anything really, because for the moment, it's completly useless (unless you count boasting as something useful...)

[seawolfy]

i just stop promoting my char,.. its so boring. infact, im start playing less and less for this game, its getting old, same old **** diff day.i just wait untill the new DLC coming, end of this month i hope, and play the single player for the last time, then closed this game for good.

And hopefully, Bioware going to make ME4 or w/e they wanted to make in the future

[macrocarl]

My N7 rating is over 500 and I still suck!

[Gemini Freak]

Well, I am N7 60-something, and that's because I love the Adept class pretty much. (But then, with a Drell Adept and Ex-Cerberus Adept, it's pretty obvious.)

[shards7]

I always look at the level of gun they have. rank 120 with a Sieber 8, yes I want you on the team. rank 120 with a raptor 2, not so much.

Like I said, promote for Achievement early on.

Promote again for the Weekend Op (team players promoted everyone to contribute to the big goal, people that just thought of themselves only promoted 2).

I think that puts you in the 300 range.

[firewarrior101]

I only promote if it's for commendation packs or if I need to re-spec a character if I have no re-spec tokens.

[friedricethem0n]

I'm only a N7 450 (I only promote for weekend ops that requires it), so does it mean I am a scrub? I have joined Gold matches and have never been kicked. Gold players generally look at loadouts and not N7 level unless that person has N7 of less than 100.

Telltale signs that the player is a scrub are things like a non-GPSMG weapon with Ultralight Materials, Claymore I and Widow I at the same time on an Asari Adept, Revenant or any automatic Assault Rifle on an Infiltrator.

I have once seen a N7 1500+ with a Salarian Infiltrator using a Mantis X and Hornet X (with UL Materials). I told him off that an Infiltrator doesn't need high cooldowns, Mantis does not do much damage on Gold and ULM doesn't work on most SMGs. He ignored me and placed bottom at the end of the match with less than half the points of the 3rd placed guy. The first placed guy had more than 5 times the points. I was in second place. We were doing U/U/G and hit Dagger/Cerberus/Gold.

N7 level means nothing, your loadout is a better telltale sign on how much experience you have with the game.

We all know that a great percentage of players out there see an N7 under about 500 and assume the player has no skill. To be honest I used to think the same. The N7 rank has become a skill level assesment rather than a competitive leaderboard goal. Today I played with a gamer I assumed would run around the feild shooting crazily into the air. An asari vanguard using a claymore...no way I thought! Using no rockets the entire match he put up a very impressive score considering the other two players were SI using the Krysae. After the match was over I asked how he put up that high of a score being so low in N7.

The message read

I have chosen not to promote I just see no point in it. Skill is determined by the reaper lives you take not by a number based on how much you play the game, and by the way im no he im a woman. Dont judge a player by her N7

I dont think ill ever kick a player based on N7 again. I had more fun playing with that gamer and that match than I have in a long time on ME3. Even if the player is new to the game we all were at some point. Id forgotten the point is to come together and just have fun  not play until you pass out trying to get that Ultra-Rare you're dying for. Or to glitch and cheat running through matches as fast as possible. Id like to give a shout out to the woman who renewed my love for multiplayer and the fun it brings.

Heres to those players in it for the fun of it all cheers!

LIke her, I only promote when the weekend challenges need us to (because I prefer to have max level characters on the rare occasion that I have the time to play) so my N7 rank is only like 280. Many of us have said this from the beginning, but most people ignore us. thank you for posting this, maybe it'll change some people's minds.

N7<120 certainly means something. As others have said, from 120 up all bets are off.

Sorry but I dont know what they were thinking xD

[Wakko.013]

N7 rating is over rated. That's why they took it out of match making. I'm still at 330 myself since I never saw the point of promoting except for weekend ops.

Only reasons i promote, Variety. thats it :S
