OP, you can also safely ignore elite attitudes like this.
If the GI was the only one alive during certain waves, then s/he 'carried' you, otherwise ignore the score-above-all caring idiot.
Spoken like a real bronze player

I just finished a firebase Dagger, Geth, Gold, was bottom of the score board with 33k, top had 105k but was using GI. I was using Paladin with arc pistol and Piranha, i constantly was reviving the two others in the game and was most of the time only one doing objectives. on the nonobjective waves i consistantly was taking fire from the primes, hunters and rocket troopers while allowing the others to get behind them. Yet at the end of the match the GI has the nerve to plug him mic in and tell me to get lost as he didnt want to carry my lazy backside any more.
Can someone please tell me how i was just carried?
How long were the matches? If they were more than 28 minutes then you were probably not helping much. Regardless, I'm sorry to hear you were having problems with your GI.
I played four or five Gold matches with low scoring people yesterday. Two of them with people who were clearly anchors; we failed to get to wave 10 at least once because they sucked. Each had scored below 20K. One was a destroyer. :o/ Shout out th le_kitten for being a solid teammate on an otherwise bush league team.
But the third low scoring guy was playing a salarian engineer and his decoy was always in the right place to rez or do an objective. Used his mic occasionally too. I was surprised at the end of the match that he was the low scorer at around 30K. He must have been using an Eagle.

You know yesterday I randomly got dropped in a Gold Rio Cerberus game with my Quarian Male Engineer unsuspectedly. There was a Shadow doing nothing NOTHING but Krysae shot. I felt like she was seriously leeching. The match took 40 minutes and it started from wave 3 for me. + They were trying to defend the center room..

It can be tricky playing a support character, mainly because your team HAS to feel supported, and it won't necessarily show on the scoreboard at the end. If your support was "taking fire" and people were STILL dying all over the place, AND you weren't getting kills, then I can see how the rest of the team felt you didn't have something to offer to that particular group.

That said. 33k? The paladin can do better. If your team is dying that much, then you're far better to leave them be and kill the surrounding enemies, rather than try to revive them. I've had games where it felt like I did nothing BUT revive my imbecilic team-mates, and I steam managed to out-score the lot of them.

15 revives is all well and wonderful, but how many of those revives wouldn't have been needed if you'd actually been killing things? My guess? Half of them. Utility isn't needed in this game. DPS is. As such you failed.

It seems a bit silly to argue that the Carnifex (or Paladin) are the only pistols worth taking. Yeah, they're good, and possibly the best on paper - but that's on paper.
I know folks who don't like the delay between shots, and prefer a spam-click weapon like the Phalanx or...yes, the Arc Pistol. The Arc Pistol used to be garbage, but it's been buffed enough that it's worthwhile these days.
It's possible the OP could have performed better in the match, but I don't know how helpful it is to say 'lol, using Arc Pistol? You're doing it wrong'.
It is indeed silly. By that logic let's all take the same guns and classes, they should become a mandatory uniform.
I don't care if the Carnifex is "better" than the Arc Pistol, I like the Arc Pistol more and feel much more comfortable with it, hence why I actually use that one, whereas the Carnifex is just collecting dust.
As for the OP.... lol, score. I've had games in which I've doubled or nearly tripled someone's score and I wouldn't say I "carried" those players because they still helped a lot. If I don't find myself constantly reviving you and you help during objectives, I'll never see that as "carrying".
Heh, I remember one game where the other players mostly stuck to kiting banshees away from me and doing objectives while I was the one doing all the killing comfortably. Scoreboard may have said one thing but I knew better.

Both are horrible weapons.
Try Geth Shotgun, way better.
That being said my average score is 30-50k on Gold.
If I get higher than that then that's because the game went to pot and I had to run around solo.

Just as score is not the end all be all of skill, having the 15 revive medal is not the end all be all that you were a good team player. Anyone can hide, do nothing, and get 15 revives and claim that they were helping the team.

OP you played poorly in the match. TBH having 33k in a gold game is the result of you not doing enough, period. I don't blame anyone calling you out on it. Anyone telling you otherwise are bad players themselves and are just reinforcing bad playstyles. If you listen to them you will never get better and keeping making reassurance threads like this.

The problem with this line of thought is that it if the guy getting 15 revives is instead dead 4 or 5 times or the guy doing all the objectives goes on the offense and does not make them a priority then you get a wipe, not team success. There is a fine line between getting 'enough' kill points and dying several times. If the player in question had 55-60 thousand but died 4 times, only rezed twice and ignored one or more objective rounds would the team be better off or not?

Yeah that map is a sniper's haven. If you weren't playing aggressively by ramboing the bottom parts of the map, you likely weren't hitting crap w/ ur Pirahna or Snap Freeze or shield melee. If the GI or another player were sniping most the mobs before they could get close to the upper deck then there's not much left for you to do. If that's how it went then there's no surprise ur score was that low. Sounds like you needed to rambo more and use ED more.
But anyways, was the team getting overrun constantly? If so then ur partly to blame. If not then there's no real issues since you completed the match just fine.
If I only got 105k for a full match as a GI I wouldn't say I was good enough to have been 'carrying', since damage is mostly what a GI 'does' for a team, but eh we all have our own standards.
