Why the challenge system was a bad idea...

it causes people to go for the challenges in particular rather than passively pick them up as the person in question plays.

Or, its giving people the option to experiment with reward...use new combinations. Nobody is being forced to use anything.

"ego preeners" are going to be ****s no matter what. they don't develop that character flaw simply because BioWare adds achievements to MP, they already had it.

I don't judge people on their loadouts/N7lvl/levels, so I sure as hell don't kick for a low challenge level. But that's just me.

It simply leads to ego preening and elitism "oh he has a low challenge completion kick him" meanwhile "he" ended up carrying the team as a volus.

its onyl bad becuase it causes more and more people to spam powers

Is this really something that happened? Because its pretty idiotic given how soon the challenges have been released and that most people probably haven't had the time and opportunity yet to finish one.
yes some guy tried to get the lobby to kick me for low challenge score.

I agree. Made me use some stuff I haven't in a long time.Happy Shepard wrote...
I tell you why it was a good idea. It's fun.

I've never heard anyone in the lobbies I host or join say that. You show off your skills by performing on the field, not by how much crap you can dish out on someone. And no, not everyone has the time or interest to complete them, but that doesn't make them a bad player. Some people don't even know that you can get banners and titles.
And on the subject of challenges, I love them. They have given me a reason to use weapons and characters I have almost long forgotten. It made me try new builds and loadouts, which led me to love other characters as much as my favorites.

Also, I think it helps keep us focused on goals rather than credits for a bit! If anyone wants to do a run tomorrow between 1-3PST using some odd combinations of classes and weapons without worrying about score and without wasting consumables, send me a message! I'm currently running a Havok with a Sabre, and I'm finding that if I'm patient with aim I can decimate really well (before challenges I'd never bothered with a Sabre)
Cheers,
Gun

example, before I HATED the striker AR but I used it on my Destroyer class with devastor mode on and holy crap was that a lawn mower! I still like my Harrier better, but it was definitely fun.

This game needed something to give it a sense of progression/goal to work toward. Once your manifest is maxed, there's nothing left....now there is. Alot of the banners look really cool too.

I specifically went for Mathemagician and Machnist just because they represent me (sort of) as a Mass Effect Player. I've been a true blue, genuine, bonafide engineer since the moment I saw the character creation screen at the start of Mass Effect. Otherwise, I really don't care.

Morons who kick someone because they haven't played yet = Morons
People who get upset over getting kicked by Morons = Crybabies aka "Butthurt"

I'm looking forward to seeing how the weekly operations will work now that they are supposedly tied in with them. Other than that it doesn't mean a lot to me. In fact I feel somewhat self conscious when I'm the only one in the lobby displaying a banner.
I earned my first banner yesterday (mathmagician) and when I put the banner on my nameplate I felt so proud! All that time spent in game (usually solos in bronze) finally paid off and I had what I wanted.
The first time I queued for a silver lobby I noticed I had the only banner. As proud as I was of myself, I felt kinda out of place and self concious about it.
