Of course it is possible if they only ranked up one character and only played with that one over and over and over and over and over to earn credits and buy supply packs.

I've spent a lot of real money on packs AND I know how to play the game.  I aint too shabby.

Some people simply play to 20 lvl and dont promote, whats the point anyway, respec cards drop very often, so you can change build easily.

It is technically possible to have everything unlocked and only have an N7 rating of 20.

I can't see how someone could play only one class for that long and never get bored enough to try any of the five others, but it's technically possible.

Nope, Character cards give exp.
It is technically possible to have all weapons, gear and consumables maxed at N7 20
, but not characters.

Yeah, I haven't promoted in months.  And even then, just to bump up my SP score to see if I could get the best EMS ending without doing fetch quests.

I won't promote again unless it is for a weekend objective.  An N7 score is meaningless.  I don't even kick on it.  Weapon loadout and class are more important to me.

Only if you're a complete noob. Experienced players realize that a lot of players simply got bored promoting and releveling. They also know that the RNG system would make maxing out your manifest a rather expensive enterprise if one relied primarily on purchasing packs with real money. Given that fact, I'd default to assuming that a person without a huge n7 rank and a well stocked manifest simply wasn't a promoter.

Le sigh.

Yes, I know that character cards give XP.

I also know that if you haven't started a character in that class, you don't get any class levels and therefore N7 rating from those XP.

I would say the person who assumes that would be the one who is "stupid".  You can not tell how experienced/good someone is if their N7 ranking is 120 or above.  You can get a better idea based on the weapons and gear they have, but that still isn't an great indicator.  You CAN get a good idea of how good someone is based on what weapons/gear they equip and if they work with the team.

I have played with 120 level folks who were some of the best I have ever played with.  I have played with N7 3000+ people who were just terrible.

ya know this BS excuse is getting really old, idk what N7s you people are claiming to be terrible but I've not played with a person higher than 5K who has ever been terrible. Some less reliable than others, but not as stupid as say a random N7 120 would be. Terrible isn't being at the bottom of the scoreboard or not carring the entire team like a lot of the lower (n7120...) people seem to be expecting, but more along the lines of what a N7 120.... would do like go into the open and get his/her azzes handed to them and blame someone else for failing a mission.  Or like a game a had a while back, a person N7 500ish "thinking" they know what the hell they're doing and not really having a clue on how the AI works.

Anyway, there is no N7 5K+ (least none I've ever played with, and there are only 160 of them on XBL including me) who hasn't at least carried they're own weight and used more common sense than a random N7 120 EVER has. There may be a handfull of 120s that know what they're doing, but honestly THERE IS NO WAY OF KNOWING because they don't promote, and like every other N7 120 my 1st thought is letting them know they should try a easier difficulty while I hit the boot button.

I'll actually give some weight to the "N7 doesnt mean anything BS" when it actually shows fruit.
Btw N7 3K is not a high N7.... there is a legit N7 20K on XBL, and at least 15 10K legit N7s. You could be a 3K N7 only playing bronze if you played since release.

Nope. This is nothing compared to a post on a different thread where the poster referred to non-promoters as trash who didn't promote because they didn't have the skill to play with low level characters. Of course, that ignored the fact that non-promoters already leveled up those characters before, when they most likely had nowhere near the manifest they do now.

 So, i played a few matches on PC this morning before i went to work and i saw couple guys wielding level X (Maximum) rare weapons with only less than 200 N7 rank. Should it be possible? One of the guys had 123 rank if i remember correctly, Reegar Karbine and Arc pistol at X. Didn't take a screenie from the lobby, doh!

What do you think?

Well, I maxed out those weapons about 10 minutes after they were released. All it took was credits. Ultra rares at X would have been more aggravating, but nothing more than that.

Funny, was playing yesterday with someone who had an N7 of 7k+ (on PC). It's pretty rare to see these guys. Anyway, it was a classic U/U/G, we got Glacier/Geth, he was playing a GI with a high level Harrier. So I thought, ok, he should be able to carry his own weight. He ragequitted by wave 3. Apparently, being outdone by a FQE *gasp* makes someone take stupid risks and he repeatedly got himself killed.

And there's a way of knowing if a low N7 ain't too shabby. Their loadouts.

[rale828]

Played a game a few weeks back with a N7 28 with a Geth Plasma Shotgun X and level V gear. He was using a human solider i think. He topped on one of the games with the other players having an N7 1000+.

What does promoting have to do with knowing what you're doing? It shows that you've found the "promote" button.

class/weapon-combination and loadout usually tells whether or not a player knows what (s)he's doing.

Yeah, it's weird considering the N7 goes up for every gear/weapon unlocked, meaning he had to get reegar drops back to back and with few things else in between

This is a joke, right?

Please, please let this be a joke.

I've a friend in origin friend list - he has got 120 N7 rank.
We ususally beat U/U/P matches with him with special conditions (last time we played with four geth and/or salarian engineers, for example). He has got a lot of level X weapons and he can play very good.
He has low N7 rank because he uses reset power cards instead of promoting characters.

Sorry you feel that way but it has been my experience.  You know what they say about "assuming" right?  Makes and ass out of you and me.

Just to understand your argument, you are claiming that someone who promotes every single chance they get is almost always better than the person who finds promoting a waste of time?  If I promoted every chance I got, I would be in the thousands...but I will never see that as it buys me nothing but SP readiness points.

Also, technically, I could spend hundreds of dollars in the store buying packs, leveling up, promoting, and never actually play the game.  How can you possibly tell if they are good?  You can't.

Just last night, one of the first few PUGs I tried had an Asari Adept join in a gold game with a freaking Claymore and an SMG amp.  N7 level?  Just under 2000.

[Dave_Inc]

The N7 rank means nothing, just measure of how much you have levelled up and promoted characters.

[Friopjofur]

I only promote on special occasions. I find N7 ranking tedious and vain. I don't really mind others who have high or low ranking as long as they are competent and don't get on my case for having my rank below one thousand.

I do not.
