I agree, when someone brings in a GI I kinda relax and just try to have fun and kill as much as i can. If the GI is subpar then i up I game and then take a small guilty pleasure beating a GI with a character that probably otherwise shouldn't if the skills levels of both players matched.

Do you do any objectives or do you just "pro snipe" on objectives waves too? It does, after all, get you more points.

"Pro sniping" doesn't get you very many points in this game.

It's more about Grenades (explosions in general) and Shotguns.

"Pro 'splode/scattergun" is a better example.

 I'd be concerned if I am down last and it'll be more about me pulling my own weight. It really depends on the team you are running with. Even a GI would find it a challenge if he is working against a 3 man BE team,  who probably doesn't care about the score anyways. Its all about wave 10 and big money.

Not at all. I almost always come first, but when I don't I just think "Yay I'm not having to carry for once"

Sometimes keeping enemies at bay while the team is doing objectives is good. But going after the kills just for kill sake is very bad. Especially on hacking objectives.

It's very rare, when I'm at first place, but I don't mind it. :-) I play support classes often, doing objectives, reviving the others, etc.

 Not really. I normally finish every match in first with 30k+ points over the next person. If I didn't finish first, then for once in my life I wasn't stuck carrying the entire team on my back.

I don't get angry, jealous, or suspicous, I just get credits.

I wish I was second of third more. That would mean I'm in a good team and I have to work less

No because it means someone is doing his job.

Hard to get angry when you play with better players.

Yes, a little bit, but only if I start the match from the beginning and I'm using a non-support class. I almost always come in first on Bronze and Silver (about 98% of the time) and about 70% of the time on Gold.

I'm not so desperate for points that I'll lose the match just to get some extra kills. I'll assist in escorting drones or hacking every time. After all, you DO earn plenty of points while doing so.

I'll admit though, for activating devices, unless it happens to appear right at my feet, I'll look at my teammates first to see if they're heading towards it before I commit to going for it.

I really like being in first or second, I must admit, and if I'm lower then I get annoyed with myself. I tried the FQI for the first time recently, and came 4th in all three matches I played before I gave up, which was hideously embarrassing since I felt like I was getting the kills in. On bronze, too, just to rub salt in the wound. I love the playstyle but my ego can't take it.

The compulsion to check scores every free moment is a bad habit that poisons a player's motivations and therefore ability to act in the interest of their team. I would know, as I've curbed most of that behavior away. Now I have a new goal: kill as much as possible as fast as possible to reduce the spawn tickets as quickly as possible (without becoming a liability).

I don't get jealous or angry when someone outscores me, but if they seem to be facerolling the enemies--lately that was the only truly successful Piranha user I've seen--then I become a bit perturbed, doubly so if the faceroller in question acts with apparent disregard for their teammates. Likewise, players who go off in Lala Land, sometimes chronically, when the rest of are working towards an objective also perturb me. If I'm doing the best on my team and they haven't gotten under my skin, then I will try to own them and their mistakes, in the best possible sense (i.e., "take ownership of"). On the rare occasion when I'm handily outscored, I am suspicious but also intrigued and wish to evaluate this other player's ability and strategy, as I would do in any game. Finally, when someone manages to maintain a score close to mine, then I do compete a little for top spot by focusing on my efficiency. IMO, those priorities are much more useful and slightly more rewarding than just shooting for top spot, whatever the cost.

I think most people enjoy beating GIs... Something strangely satisfying about it.

The only time I get angry is when I'm in 4th, and I'm usually angry at myself, because I know I'm better than that. Except being right behind a GI when you know the player is badass, is VERY satisfying.

As long as I am pulling my weight I don't really care, unless I am first or last.
Then I am carrying or suck at life respectively.

Not really. Although I do like competing with myself, and always want to do my share of the work. As long as I feel like I am able to contribute something to the team, I'm good. It's better than someone who wants to carry the torch but always end up dying and in need or reviving. It only takes one person to go down for the rest of the party of go down with him, especially during platinum where that few seconds you try to revive someone, you'll get shot and die trying.

Kills with Sabotage don't give points. That might be causing some of the discrepancy.

Short answer: No
I don't need a scoreboard to know if I've played well.
Sometimes I've topped the scoreboard, and have played terribly in a successfull mission. Other times I might be near the bottom, but feel like I've played my part in the mission success.

Also ask a quarian female infiltrator about the scoreboard at what it means....
