Do not give in to these idiots.  I never used consumables when I moved to Gold, and I didn't use them on platinum either when I moved to plat.  Spent plenty of time soloing waves because people were stupid and died on both.  I only started using consumables for fun and massive overkill when I moved back to Gold because it's more enjoyable. 

I repeat, do not give in to these noobs. 

dude post your manifest, wtf are you saving your consumables for.     As I posted earlier, my experience with randoms is that no consumables means they are one of those quit-match-if-they-get-grabbed-no-medigel-using-no-rocket-using slackers.

i don't care how good you are ( or think you are ) I'm going to assume you are a slacker.  And like I said what are you saving them for?  Bronze and silver? ( since you don't use them for gold and platinum )

username: lavatsunami1 platform: Master Race.

Maybe I'm not saving my consumables for anything.  Maybe I just don't care about using them.  And I don't think other people should either.  If they need them to complete Gold or Platinum, then they have other things to worry about, and other things they should work on. 

Definitely not a slacker, lol.  My playstyle rarely leaves the sprint button untouched, I get a ridiculous amount of rezzes and am usally the first on the objectives. 

Not to mention, as I said earlier, the ridiculous amount of waves I've had to solo due to people not using their brain.  Most memorable was wave 10 plat with my human engineer, and everyone died and got stomped right off the bat.  The objective was disable devices too, lmao.  Good times.

In addition to this, having bad players on your team... slackers as you call them... is just another obstacle. If you can master every aspect of this game, weapons, maps, enemies, talent builds etc, but not master bad players, you will have a hard time.

I just think of them as another part of the game. A chance to improve my skill in the "bad player" category.

Reegar/Flamer rule is kinda strange. It works real well on my Vorcha Sentinel. Deals with shields and barriers, letting the Flamer deal with armor.

[ryoldschool]

my main problem with slackers, which i have been grouping people that don't use consumables, is that they quit and dont use gel or rocket ( btw, you have zero rockets in your inventory ).

As far as you personally, yeah, you should care less about what I think about your ability. Its just that if you don't equip consumables I am putting you in the slacker class.

Oh, you might be getting away without using consumables on platinum, but I would never play a platinum match with anyone who does not use consumables.

I have played with some great players, and none of them skip consumables.

yeh, lol, i save my rockets for the swarmers, of which there are many. 

And I agree that if I was in a non pug group, I'd be using consumables for plat and gold.  But honeslty, if you're skilled enough, you don't need them.  They're also fun when you just want to hit harder.

Place holder till I get home:
...you play AC while fighting collectors. Its confusing as hell.

Edit:
...hmm, you know what? thats pretty much the only reason.

This talk about consumable use prompts me to comment:

I don't use consumables often on gold, partly because I don't trust my net connection, and partly because it's unnecessary for me. Nevertheless, I still manage to almost always top the boards in PuG games without them, and often end up having to carry those who do use consumables. I will use rockets and gel as needed. But consumables, not so much. If I do, it's because my character is below a certain level, or because I want to clear a match more quickly.

I will always use consumables for platinum however.

He's apparently talking about people trying to glitch Reegar and Flamer going at the same time.

If I need space for a friend to join.

This, or if the two others want the third kicked and the game won't start until so, I will kick.

I endured a lvl 176 Shadow today with an Eagle IV, no equipment at all not even gear, on Gold/FB White today.

It was dreadful, and I may have actually kicked them after the game was over, but they left after said game, hopefully they learned a valuable lesson of pain being dead 95% of the time.

NOOOOPe  you can run a gold match with no equiptment with a 4 person team if you all work together in complimentary ways

say have somebody rip down shield and have a vorcha tear the rest of the enemy to shreds or have an engieer and a volus adept always spamming the shield boost *but i think the engineers ammo thing boosts s hields...i still aint unlocked that character :/* while the juggernaught **** slaps everything and then have the talon trip mines down the fire base white hallways as to alert were getting flanked but you know thats just team work *shrugs* thats a lot to ask of randoms

[Smallpox_Jenkins]

If you join my lobby with a weird gear/weapon mix.
Some stuff I'll tolerate, but there is a line and you will know it when you get kicked.

To address all the people asking about my loathe of the Reeger/Flamer combo... I should have stipulated that generally (in my experience) it's someone trying to use the old glitch that no longer works and when they see that you can't fire them simultaneously anymore they tend to just quit (and it still happens at least once a week), although usually these folks also aren't using gear... which goes back to my original post.

I'm not very big on the flamer, though. It generally doesn't fit my play-style is all... and truth be told, it can be pretty annoying to try and see anything through or around someone spamming flamer, but I don't kick for that.

The Reeger and Flamer combo is still a heavy hitting.  The Reeger used appropriately against shields/barriers and then the Flamer for armor/health.

Kicking solely for that is pretty horrible.

N7 and Challenge ranks are pretty horrible judge of character.

Also, kicking because a person doesn't use disposible gear is also horrid.   Disposible gear is a crutch.  I like to play without it.

[poonts]

nobody was claiming consumables were necessary, to all those who love to do less damage.

I wonder if these are the same types that whine that their bwack widow is only wevel sree

its part of the game ( consumables ) leveling your character is also a crutch....

edit: btw, for those of you who don't use consumables - I guess you will not be one-shooting anything with a javelin gi since you won't be using sniper rail 3 and phasic 3 rounds.   But I  guess you must think using the tools to allow your sniper rifle to one shot thing on gold is not playing very smart?

Wow. Most everyone i've seen running the combo know what they're doing. Don't know how to feel about kicking people based on an asumption, even when the class could wreck face without its' weapon.


As contribution to the topic: I don't kick. I just leave the lobby.

Considering I only play Platinum and I don't use a Sniper Rifle it doesn't quite matter.

The problem is that quite a few people depend on consumables.   And seeing as consumables are completely random some people will do well one game and then completely suck then next when they don't have it.

... downed every single wave on silver and want to do a gold or plat match because, "The Others are good enough."
... come into lobby with music, especially loud music or a mic that echoes which you don't bother to turn off dispite being asked nicely multiple times.
... going to a gold match and not even using level 1 equipment or a gear bonus... like really...
... I don't kick people who use the box of shame or that glitch on Hydra but I do report them, same as I reported every rocket glitcher I ever met. (I did kick rocket gitchers) Thank god thats finally fixed.

Other than these 4 rules I personally don't care what everyone else is using. I'm usually in firt place and pulling the team anyway, im used to it... With my soundboards on the ready fo hilarious dialog... Hee-hee-hee

[Calibrations52]

I honestly don't kick people unless they are bothering me, mostly due to noise/what they say on mics. I try to maintain a policy of not kicking people even if they suck because I remember when I sucked and being kicked was quite humiliating.

I know I've read other threads about being getting kicked from rooms, but I'm looking for more for a balance of comedy and commentary here, and there's no harm in having an updated edition.

I generally play with only friends and occasionally we have to go to the "pub-pen" for a fourth player... these moments are filled with either hilarity, confusion, or pity... and sometimes all of the above. Now, as a general rule, if I have a fourth player coming in after a match I'll send 'the random' a message giving him/her a chance to leave before a kick gets applied (I try to be nice) but overall I'm somewhat picky about my randoms since I'm going to be sharing a room with them for the next 20 to 30 minutes potentially so these things matter.

You're to get a kick if...

[*]...you come into the lobby and ready up with no gear.[*]...you're readying up with an Asari Commando with a Claymore and a Harrier.[*]...you enter with no gear and do nothing for a minute until someone else ready's up, then you ready up.[*]...after multiple suggestions of moving your mouth away from the mic you insist on sounding like an asthmatic Darth Vader.[*]...you insist on running a Reeger on anything with a flamer (see my page 6 post for explanation).
[*]...you spend all 11 waves on Hydra playing up in the glitch balcony (also might get you reported). [*]...you think, after thirty seconds, the entire team should now cater to your whims and class.[*]...you insist on using Assault Rifle gear on your Hornet.[*]...you can't stop talking, insist on talking over everyone else in the room, and have a "know-it-all" mentality. [*]...you talk in all hate speech and slurs upon your arrival. [/list]Now add yours...

Unless it is Platinum, it is generally a waste.

Well since I am a peasant I rarely use snipers due to autoaim especially a rifle such as the Javelin, regardless of its capabilities in the pure destructive power department so I guess I wouldn't. But as I've said this whole time, it depends on which kit I'm using when I determine whether or not to use consumables. 

[Rynocerous]

I kick on Gold/Plat for people without consumables if I don't know them.

You may claim you can handle gold/plat without consumables. Unless I've played with you, I don't know that. I'm certainly not going to bother with a game where I have to carry people (or worse, a wipe) when I have no idea if you're good or not.

N7 tells you nothing, nor do Challenge Points.

I *always* kick if the person refuses to use gear (i.e., the stuff that does not get used up). That is the sign of someone handicapping themselves to prove how leet they are, and I really don't care to play with people like that.

If people dislike that, I'll care when they buy my PSP's for me.

[J4mes]

Sounds like the OP is the one at fault here. Complains about know-it-all and Players telling him to actually help during the match.

Sounds like the OP is one of those that locks in a lvl 14 Asari with an Avenger 1 on Gold.

On Gold, you don't need Consumable to 1-Shot Mooks with a Javelin.
