I just played a game as a level 12 Krogan soldier, the results (mine at the top) =

221 912
  70 643
  69 271
  66 112

Now I am not saying these are bad scores for a gold pug game, but only one of the pugs used a single medigel and a single missle. I had to do all the objectives and I had to solo 2 waves because I could not revive them all the time as it was Hazard Giant, which is a pretty big map, and they had grouped up and were getting stomped on together.

At the end of the game I was going to shrug this off, because to be honest it has become quite normal for me. But why should this be normal? How is it fair that I have to use an extra effort and extra equipment just so we can make extraction? I'm pretty sure I am not the only one who feels this way or who has to endure this.

A lot of this would be helped if there were some sort of minimun restriction for people who join gold games, but I doubt that is possible or likely to happen, maybe for future ME games? Anyway that was my little rant.

P.S. If you doubt the scores I can post a picture.

If you don't like PUGs, just play with friends.
If you don't have any, join a group on the BSN.
It's tacky to complain about it (and brag about how much better you are than every random person).
There are literally HUNDREDS of threads like this...

I think some forget that Gold is the only thing viable for getting decent credits to get JEPs, so more and more players go to it. Silver gets you 1, but often time if you need to play Silver, you'll be wasting all of the consumables you get trying to get more, its a vicious cycle.

Also they cant help it if your good at the game, others get complacent when theres 1 or 2 guys stomping the opposition on the team, and don't feel the need to revive or missile.

I enjoy pugs for the extra excitement.
I was not bragging in any way, merely trying to relate to others and vent a little frustration.
If there are hundreds of them go hate on someone else

So you are saying it is fair that they use no consumables and leave me to do the work. I can only stomp the opposition as long as the team is alive. I do not ask much from pugs at all, but I do hope they give an effort at least

If they were grouped up, why not stick with them, to support and revive? Perhaps their behavior was not at fault.

[GallowsPole]

You could complain without showing scores. Personally they should ban score screenshots. Score means zip.

Because the reason they were dying was that they were grouped up, why would I join the behavior that got them killed? Smart ME players know not to corner themselves with banshees and brutes swarming them. If I had joined them I would have suffered their fate, especially without dodge.

One of the most successful tactics on Giant is to group up at the landing zone. And since you are so talented, I'm sure sticking with the group would have allowed your 200K worth of points to keep the group standing. Did you try to coordinate with your mic? Do you have a mic?

You extracted?

When I get frustrated by Gold PuGs it's because we wipe three times in a row. If I could get enough out them to extract, I think I'd be okay with that. I wouldn't come here and complain about it, but I have over 200 medigel/missiles/ops packs, so I wouldn't have much to complain about.

Yes, so I try, but now I give up. Too frustrating.

Well you are not me  It's a cold day in miami when I don't extract. This was an example, and pent up steam that I just wished to vent. Yes I am also full on consumables, that does not mean I like wasting them.

We extracted, this is not the worst of the games I have experienced, and if your experiences with the game are not similiar to mine then so be it, I asked if anyone else got frustrated at times, even if they extracted. For when at wave 7 when I checked the score and saw that I had 120k and they each had no more then 22... I got a tiny bit aggravated. I use my mic when I play with my friends

[Addictress]

I only score 70-80k. One time I was lucky and hit 90k. I use consumables but avoid dying. I try hard. I don't know why I can't score any higher (

Your score does not matter Using equipement and consumables show commitment and that you really do wish to make extraction. That is all I hope for in a pug lobby

on xbox 360 add me gt same as name

[xIREDEEMEDIx]

yeah, I have been noticing lately that nobody medigels at all and lets some else do the work to get them to the next wave.

It has been getting worse, yes.

While I agree with Gallows that the scoreboard is obnoxious (and should be either eliminated or made to better reflect a player’s impact on the game), I get where you’re coming from, OP.

It’s definitely frustrating to play with a group of PUGs who are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, I typically do my best to stay near them so I can help them take down enemies, and revive when they fall (I get a gold medal in revives almost all the time playing with PUGs). Yeah, there are sometimes when I’ll give up and go do my own thing, but I find that trying to keep the PUGs alive makes things a little less frustrating, since a good player + 3 okay players (or even one or two bad ones) will usually butcher all the enemies in an area.

[ichyscrachy]

Tripled the other scores. Let me guess-you were hosting?

The slow krogan trucked on from accros the map each time they went down. Sometimes they didn't even mash A..

"Your score dose not matter" ... yet you posted your score in the OP to show off how your lvl 12 character did better than a group of randoms. *facepalm*

How do you know that is why I posted them? I need no such confirmation from BSN. Please leave troll
