This.

You should not feel embarassed/intimidated when you encounter one.

From the third to the sixth week after Retaliation release, the banner meant something, since you needed 25 extractions on Platinum (Squad Elite banner without Week-end Challenges II and III).

Now, you only need to find a good lobby to carry you on gold for all those waves for the nomad banner, then play two gold solo with a Kroguard against Geths. Not a big deal.

Soooo it only meant something with Platinum extractions and not that every other challenge could be grinded. No wonder why the OP feels the way he does.

I've seen many very bad Bobs. Most do an emergency eject from the lobby when the game finishes, so don't worry about it.

Best of the Best banner only shows how long the player has been playing/grinding, not necessarily how good they are.

Although I suppose it does confirm the two banners that actually are somewhat difficult to obtain: Nomad and Lone Wolf. It's not like these are too difficult to do. A player could effectively leech/get carried to get Nomad (only need to play most maps on Gold 10 times each) and Kroguard/Geth for Lone Wolf.

Best of the Best doesn't mean that the player will be good enough to say, solo/carry Platinum.

Yep. Still can't finish Council Operative, and I don't even want to think about Outsider.

I don't mind the 200 waves challenges, did them all (Gold/Plat). Playing Cerbdept or AA on Plat was definitely a way to keep the game interesting. Just don't grind games with one kit, rotate through them and use different weapons and set ups.


For me its the promotions...

OP, Don't forget the player may have cheated to get their banner e.g. Host migration to get their Platinum Solo. Utilizing Hydra Glitch to get their gold solos done. I couldn't live with myself earning the banner by cheating. Also, pretty much the entire banner can be grind-ed on Bronze...mind you that must be torturous.

Don't read into this post as I am not saying that everyone who has a BotB banner cheated.There are so many good players I know who have earned it and ever better players which don't even have theirs yet.

[pseudonymic]

 july, you should relax a little.

every time i see a best of the best banner, the only thought that crosses my mind is "well there goes another one without a life". so there you go.

also, in every match i've played from bronze to platinum with people that had that banner - they were usually the first ones down/constantly dropping.

When I meet anyone in lobby I don´t think anything. About their N7, challenge points or banners they are using. It´s their choice to use whatever banner they like, do or not to do challenges...whatever makes them happy. I most certainly don´t think I am better then them. I don´t kick anyone. If I feel there is something super wrong with team, I leave. You are my team mates. We are in the "fight" together. I have no reason to look down upon you. I will try to help you in game, not show you that you don´t know how to play. Sad to hear what you constructed about me(by extension) just by using nice picture in lobby.
But once again, I don´t think this is matter of some banner, but certain type of players.

[dasfranken]

If they were trying to kick you, don't be upset. They are never worth playing with anyways if they are trying to put themselves above other players. You could always try conquering your fears, too. There are a ton of threads here on BSN of people asking for help on solos, and listing their struggles to achieve it. Look some of them up for pointers, and feel free to make one yourself. You can do it!

... stuff ...

 Is it normal to feel this way?

In short - no, you're weird. Why should you give even the slightest damn what some random person you've encountered in a game, on the Internet, thinks about you? Or at least your "Internet self".

It's not like you're ever going to meet them, get all old fashioned, and ask for their son/daughter's hand in marriage now is it?

You're feeling insecure because of a few pixels that mean approximately nothing, in a game which has all the significance and importance in the world as a bowl of icecream... and you're asking if this is "normal" ... seriously?

[NoReapers]

If this is how you feel, you should probably improve your self-esteem and self-confidence.

Got mine down to 6...this weekend hopefully

[UnknownMercenary]

Argh lucky you. I keep putting my promotions off but I finally ran out of respec cards...

39 to go.

[inb4lock]

Sorry to the nice guys that have that banner. But most of the a**holes i have met since returning have had that banner. I promoted all of the classes before i left and have thefore restarted with level 1. I have been kicke a few times by people with that banner as a level 1 on bronze.

(My first encounter with a Best of the Best player was in a Gold session. They voted a kick on me for using a level 10 character. Everyone else was level 20.  No one else agreed to the kick thoug, so that player just left. It showed that they were the one who voted the kick...
: (

Sometimes I leave when the kicking starts because I don't want to play in a lobby with jerks who kick innocents. In hindsight I guess people think it was me who placed the kickvote, but it never is.


Ahem, back to the topic... The other day I've been in a lobby with not one BoTB banner, but two, one on top of the other. One was a boy, and another a girl. It was beautiful! 

Then they looked at each other, and one promptly left. That's how I've learned that BoTB's are more intimidated by each other than us, mere mortals. Imagine the pain and suffering when one outscores the other!

On a side note, all BoTBs I've played with were ok, topped the scoreboard but not by much, revived and did not act high and mighty at all.

25 Rio/Reapers/Platinum games won't grant 25 Platinum extractions. I'd say 5 at most, given the huge number terribad players in that kind of games

I skipped the Volus kits.

The 3 Drells are great. The Raptor and Hornet are awful but can be done on weapons classes. And the Phoenixdept is a lot of fun to play for me.

Meh it's just a banner.

^This.

Also, my feelings towards the BotB'd ones in lobbies are:

"Hmmm...they'll probably make it through a Gold"

Banners, like N7, like challenge points, mean nothing.

[tMc Tallgeese]

I stopped using the banner because people would take their equipment off and use low level characters when I would enter the lobby. I've even heard people while the lobby is loading say, "Sweet! Free credits."

I once played a gold PUG with a Quarian Infiltrator and spammed just Sabotage to keep my score below 30,000 just to see if I would be kicked with the banner on. I was disappointed when another player in the lobby got the votes.

[JHARTIFEX]

You know reading this thread makes me not want to get the banner. I think I'll just focus on credits and trrrrrry to focus on maxing my manifest. I'm out!
