Assuming they actually do know who you are, or even what the BSN is (you might be surprised who few actually bother with game forums), I can't say I'd blame anyone for wanting to do well. Have you noticed the amount of "zomg, randoms are all full of suck and fail" threads in this place? So people see someone who's known on the forums and they don't want to end up the topic of one of those threads.

Or it could just be that you have a high N7/Challenge score and they assume they'll have to bring their A-game to hang with you.

I just don't want to look bad in from of one of you BSN celebrities. I need to impress you, otherwise my life is meaningless.

alternativly , you could just do what I do and admit that your life is meaningless 

If I can outscore one of BSN's top players, I know it'll make me a better player.

This happened to me the other day playing pugs for fun. In all honesty in my mind no one knows who I am but then this happened to me also. After the matches I get a message from two of the guys in the match who switched to Harriers and Turian Ghosts for the second game after I outscored them heavily on the first. I started playing a Phoenix Vanguard.

They sent me messages like "it was great playing with the great INVADERONE". I responded kindly as the messages were too generic for me to take it any other way but every kill I went for they were hardcore killing even when the character had one bar and I was right in front of it. LOL. Its all good. I have nothing to prove and I guess its a fun thing for people to "outscore" BSN'ers etc.

in reality if i got into a game with one of the bsn elites i would just leave the lobby, because you guys are all try hards 24/7..... ouch yeah the truth hurts

With a team I never try hard. In a solo, sometimes:P

Are you really 24?

Is that sarcasm?<_<

No, I just wanted to know how it feels...because I don't remember.

[orehlol]

Perhaps scoring higher than you in a random gold game. Would grant them enough skill to make soloing platinums easy.

Challenge points/N7 means little. People should know that by now. 
Met a quite few people with high score that preformed badly.

Yeah its probably they want to come off not looking like an idiot. There's a lot of eltism around here, and if you run into someone well known on here I imgine most people are afraid of looking like a chump. Me, if I see people I know can handle myself, I switch AWAY from the tryhard classes, because I know I don't have to max my dps just to give the team a chance. When I ply games with folks I know cn crush it no problem, I'll just pick whtever I feel like playing, fqe fqi, batsent, orig. Humans.... AA just something fun. When I go into a lobby and think "this isn't going to go well" I usully switch to a volus, to keep them alive, destroyer, ghost, gi, etc to kill threats to them

pretty much this, at least my guess

[cory257383]

It's a double edged sword. I like it because it makes randoms try harder which usually makes the game faster. But if I actually am beaten I usually get some sort of flame mail.

I don't disagree and I've had the same experience, but with few effective metrics for people to judge by, they're not going to stop doing it any time soon.

Lol yes it's true. I feel more alive than I ever did in highschool:D

[HoochieHamiltoe]

Who really cares? All i see in gold PUGs these days are harriers with the TGI. I just look at it as quick gold game. Or at least i hope!

Uhhh, I'm pretty sure most PUGs don't know popular forum posters. Maybe I'm wrong....

[Felhand]

People want to compete its just how alot of gamers are, i'll jump into a game and suddenly some doofus is like "Derp hey i have a talon too! ill use that."

Though equipment aside if im on a active combat class (and not my volus adept) and someones close to me in score I dont mind it just means we are doing very well, but now and then the 'neck and neck' situation seems to cause some idjit to randomly start missiling stuff in hopes of outstriping me and thats what I hate such a waste.

[DarkseidXIII]

Try hard? Any soldier/inf with harrier? I think theyre in every lobby. Also, how often do you pug it?

[Learn To Love Yourself]

Maybe it is not that they choose to change to the hard class, but it is your presence and class which causes them hardness. Take it as a compliment.

You are not wrong but it does happen once in a while. It happened to me the other day (previous example I posted)

Gotta grind 'em waves anyway. May as well chuck on a Viper or play my Phoenixdept in a game I know is pretty much guaranteed to be successful (on gold). 

[kaileena_sands]

Caineghis, I used to watch and like some of your videos, but it seems to me recently you are trying hard to get the medal for most stupid/pointless/oh watch here, my e-peen is over 9000 threads.

I am plenty sure that a lot of people you play with don't recognize you at all (after all, BSN is a tiny tiny sample of the gaming base) and the "try hard" classes they switch to are a coincidence. Plus, how do you know which are their try hard classes - e.g. I, for example, suck with the GI and I have only switched to him when I've seen a super good, armed to the teeth player who can shoulder the game if my game is a bit epic fail~y.

Also, if they DID switch indeed on purpose from recognizing you, I totally wouldn't blame them because you'll see here a daily dose of "Oh look, I carried players x, y, and z to victory" topics. If you are an average player with one of the "weaker" kits and you are playing with a great player with Harrier X GI... good luck getting any kills at all. Which of course does not mean at all that you were carried by said player, since your team could have gone without him (and depends on the circumstances) even had more fun doing it. So I guess they just may have wanted to be useful (and not get shamed in another moronic thread here).

Same here, that's the smart way to go. Those waves with specific chars are not gonna grind themselves.

I used to think trying to win was a good thing. Sure am glad I came to these forums. Now I lose but know I'm cool.

Yeah, right?! With all those "PUGs suck" topics, you'd think people would be happy when PUGs finally equip themselves to the teeth and bring their best characters for easy credits.

It happenes occasionaly, when a bsn member enters my lobby. They usually get their competitive asses handed to them and then leave my lobby after the game is finished. It's quite silly.
