Anyone who looks down upon anyone based on personal preference of playstyle needs to get off their high horse. I play bronze when none of my friends are playing, otherwise, I play whatever they want and can easily hold my own. I play games to relieve stress and often to socialize with people ill likely never meet, because its interesting talking to others from different cultures.

I work 9-5 Mon-Fri, I have college Tues, Wed & Thur 6-9 in the evenings. I have a girlfriend, friends & football to fit in too. I only get a few hours of multiplayer a week, if I'm lucky. I play Gold now & pull in decent scores.

Your excuse doesn't wash with me, sir 

Not with me, either. I don't have a job, been living alone for a couple of years, don't do anything and barricade myself to my apartment. All that, and I can't play Gold. Well I can, but I suck.

[aarnold1]

As opposed to how we go to work to increase stress and deal with people we always have to meet.

I'm thankful for games.

One time I saw a player on bronze use a missile launcher on an atlas.

I once saw someone use a missile on a Gold escort and missed... twice.  I wish he'd gotten practice on Bronze.

i didnt know how to get rid pf silly mans pic. using a rocket on an atlas in bronze makes total sense.....
the majority of bronze players get what 2 or 3 rockets a game and usually buy recruit and veteran packs, we know that these packs are much more cost efficient at getting consumables, 1 big boss enemy spawns in a wave no matter what on like waves 7,9,10, and extraction. there is no reason to not rocket banshees, atlas, praetorians, and primes on bronze.  however it is not great to rocket all of them on anything higher than bronze. but thats not what you said.
btw if this was sarcasm/trolling i apologize

No, I was serious.  I simply wish people got more practice on Bronze instead of jumping right into Silver/Gold.

i wasnt actually talking to you sorry about that, i just couldnt get the first guys dumb picture out of my post

[nick91_99]

lately no...with the shield gating issue, and the collectors, we should all be in bronze now.

[Blarg]

 Most here? Yes. Me, personally? No. In fact, I enjoy bronze a lot more than the average gold game. Then again, I usually play with PUGs.

[O______O]

Only if Bronze players who aren't suited for Gold try joining Gold. Honestly, don't drag other people down for your own enjoyment. I'm cool with mediocre players in my Gold games and regularly carry the team on my back, but my back can only handle so much. I should start working out more.

I've got no problem with people playing Bronze. There isn't much frustration and I can remember when I could even complete six waves of bronze. Oh the days of the demo...

[slowhand26]

it's a video game i think all levels serve there purpose and wouldn't look down on someone for playing bronze exclusively that is how they want to play that's cool they paid for it and should get to play however they want to ...

Depends on why they play bronze.  Totally fine reasons:  
-I'm just a casual player and enjoy bronze.
-I like to be super-powered in games.  
-I'm just starting out.  
-I'm leveling a character or trying out a new build.  

Looked down upon reasons:
-OMFG game is too hard for everyone, all enemies cheat, BW sucks, everything needs a buff and enemies need to be nerfed!!!  

Basically, I look down on people who think the reason they are in bronze is because of some external locus of control rather than their own characteristics or choices.  To elaborate, I don't look down on people based on how good or bad they are at playing a video game, but I do look down on people who are whiny, entitled, brats.

Im sorry though. I guess I will be the guy who says it...If youre an N7 2500 with maxed ultra rares and playing bronze exclusively then cmon! step up your game a lil and at least try silver. youll eventually get more comfortable. if youre just starting out, please play bronze. i did for a while and eventually went to silver and then gold. then you can try to solo bronze silver and gold as well once you become comfortable.

be careful i said something along these lines and flamed like nuts

[xavim]

I don't since I remembered the first time I played. Bronze was a nightmare to say the least. Even after the "demo" when the game came out I still had to play on Bronze for awhile before moving up to silver. I can still recall my first gold game I won, spent weeks working with the same people trying to reach the goal.

[Rockpopple]

Yes, people who play Bronze are looked down upon here. Hell, people who play Silver are expected to STFU about balance and other issues because unless you play Gold or Platinum, you have no say in how this game plays.

Whatever. People forget that there are 3 different types of gamers out there: Casuals, Noncore and Hardcore.

Casuals usually stick to Bronze. It's a "turn-off-your-brain-and-enjoy-it" mentality, and it's completely legitamite.

Noncore players (like me) find Bronze to middling and easy, but are not hardcore enough to say, post builds on forums, post every day on forums, post videos on youtube, etc. They've played games for a long time, but are just not exceptional at games, but they're better than average. For them, Silver is supposed to be the perfect difficulty level, with the occasional foray into Gold for exceptional challenges.

The hardcore speaks for itself. They're the ones who play Gold and Platinum almost exclusively. Hell, even with low-level characters they're jumping into Gold games because they're just that badass, and that's fine.

Unfortunately, because of the Hardcore's tendency to generally own forums, they end up thinking they own the game too, and have the last and only say when it comes to it.

I also think that if people didn't want Bronze players in higher level matches, BioWare needs to change the credit payout for the levels. As it stands now, beating one match in Bronze isn't even enough to buy a Veterans' pack at 20,000 credits. Forgive my language but that's bull**** for new players. To have to play 2 matches to get a Veterans' pack and six, SIX matches just for one Spectre pack is retarded. Maybe it would make sense if there wasn't a bajillion weapons and characters to unlock (and more coming on the way), but there are, and to force players with low-mid level skills to play in perpetuity for the chance to get a better weapon or an interesting new character is messed up. I know people who've been playing from the start who STILL haven't unlocked N7 characters. I mean, how does that make sense? 

So of course Bronze players are going to jump into higher matches. For the credits.

Thats incredibly narrow minded, especially with previous posts completely debunking this theory of yours.

[Chimpzy]

But I love playing a quick bronze to casually wade through everything without even trying. Makes me feel like a badass.

[sclera]

 Yes, how dare someone be less confident in their gaming skills. 

[hudder92]

I can play silver and gold, I just choose not too. I like playing Bronze. There is a lot less frustration. And a lot less cheapness of the enemies. I used to play Silver exclusively, but I moved down to Bronze with the last patch. They may claim they have done nothing to buff the enemies, but I call BS on that. And Silver Collectors are not Silver enemies. I don't care what you say.

[Locutus_of_BORG]

Yes, they are.

Note, I'm not saying it's justified, I'm just saying that they are, in fact, looked down upon.

its not narrow minded there is not a single person that currently plays bronze that with work and effort and maybe a little help cannot become a decent gold player

[Candoo]

If they are looked down on, then it's only a grand display of arrogance on the others part. But, that is typical when it comes to MPML gaming.

A lot of people, including myself, play Bronze because that's what we PREFER to play. I've played Silver and some Gold, and they just aren't the style of play that I prefer. Bronze offers a more relaxed game play.  Being hyped and tense isn't what I'm looking for after coming in from a 10 hour day at work.

Let's flip the other side of the coin now. I've played many Bronze games where the other players aren't that experienced, or just not too great (even tho they may have a high rating). Generally I will lax off of my play style, so that they can get the extra kills and credits, or to help them out when they get in trouble. WHY is it that so often I see players come down to Bronze from Silver+ to clear the map and waves, and basically steal those potential kills and credits away from them ?? Wow, that's a real confidence builder for them !!

[snackrat]

I don't know that genuine Bronze players are necessarily looked down upon in a direct, conscious sense, but it is used my Gol/Plat players against other Gold/Plat players to belittle them and their accomplishments at higher difficulties.
Like PvP players calling each other 'noob' even though they were all new once, and the people they're saying this to are of a similar level.
