I noticed Friday and Saturday night on the PS3 thst there was quite a lot of new players with N7 rankings under 50 running with level one avengers on silver/collectors. They also didn't attempt to do any objectives and died without using any medigels and they wouldn't rez anyone. Got tired of it after a while and just quit, maybe tonight will be better, I hope at least.

On the rare occasion I decide to host a pug game, if I get noobs coming in, I switch to bronze to troll them and watch them leave.

[Praxus07]

I had been trying to host, and would have reset the match to bronze but the past few days when I try hosting myself the lobby just sits empty and I end up having to join other lobbies if I want to play. Like right now, wanted to run a quick silver/collector match and my lobby is sitting empty for about ten minutes now...ugh.


Def not having fun with this game the last couple of days..

I'm a big fan of using Meat Shields, so pugs have always been great. Now with the Juggy released, Meat Shields can purposely fulfill their pug role. Hmmm. Would that be considered ironic...?

That word has such a "grey" area...

Funny.

 I feel like people have gotten a lot worse since the release of Reckoning. I find myself whiping more than ever, and I also find myself being put into positions where I'd have to carry the team. I'm not a good player. Normally, I'm the one getting carried. Failing that, I normally am the guy hiding behind the Geth Prime and Krogan Vanguard, allowing them to soak up the damage meant for me.

Scrubs gonna scrub.

You know it's going to be a bad game when the local edibot bleeds out in wave 1.
Sometimes it sucks to be right.

I just had a Gold/Geth game with a Krolord that constantly kept dying. 

It took a fair slice of self-control not to make a snide remark over voice chat.

I wouldn't say it's a decrease in skill, but more of an increase in new players. Some of them are good players. I always PUG on PS3 and very often have games with players who are at or near the top of the leaderboards. Also, I level my characters up on gold starting at level 8 (starting at level 1 is my next goal) because it makes the game more challenging (and fun).

They have been getting worse. I don't know why an N7 38 would dare try to join ahold match. It's ridiculous. I took a little break from this game and now it is extremely hard to find a decent group. Maybe I need to take a longer break.

[Molokoa1]

I have definately noticed a decrease in the average PUG's ability over the last week or two.  However, there are still people that are decent enough that pug.  For example, I decided I would pug UU/Plat, and we actually won without much trouble, in total there were only two people that bledout/ were sync killed.  I know this is the minority, but it's good to see there are still a few people the can actually play.

[soulstriker09]

Nope, still the same for me...

Great teams if I play in the morning, disastrous if I play in the evening...

I've noticed over the past few weeks that just about every game I join, most of the players don't do anything. They join a game with either an underleved character for that difficulty ( mostly Gold characters who are below 15 ), or don't have equiptment on. In-game, if it's neither of those, the person is completely uncooperative or just doesn't revive themself or bleeds out.

Please tell me I'm not the only one who has noticed this. 

Char levels levels below 15 are still gold viable but it depends largely on skill

HOWEVER, i do agree with you that there is a noticeable drop in skill.
Maybe because of the increase in the number of new players. ..

[me0120]

 Or there is a huge increase in drinking! 

[akimboDEEZ]

I have finally gotten a 4 man team. No more pugs for me, yeeeehaaaaa!

I have noticed the exact and entire opposite, my PuGs lately have been good/great.

Indeed.

I just played with a host who could one-shot everything with his Crusader, including Atlases. Modified .ini files can do wonders.

To quote a guy in a gold lobby i just joined "Yes that guy has a banner he'll do most of the work"
I left.

Thats one of the reasons I like having a crappy manifest after I switched to PC no one expects me to carry them, or come first 

Hell yeah 
I used to regular gold on console, and when I switched to pc had to do the whole grind again. I'm back in gold quality, just barely, mainly because I'm running out of stocked up equipment. As the Human Adept who carries a Mattock VII with only incendiary two, hell, maybe even only one, on, I'm a secret threat.  Having only around 300 in my N7 number is also both beneficial and not. It means that people with the "I'M SUPERIOR BECAUSE I'M IN THE 3000'S AND YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE HERE" tend to try and kick me. But, when I join the match and kick all their asses? I WIN

I've been having some great U/U/G pugs lately, not including the idiot who used the collector AR I without any ammo mods. Most of the time, I'm either in first, and just barely holding on, with the rest of the team close behind in the mid 70k to low 80k range. But, there have been a few problems, where I ended up making the Pug'ing a bad experience. Stupid Tech Mastery challenge that I want so bad. I ended up using vorcha flamer, and didn't take off my AT-12 Raider VI, I ended up being the guy who was trailing in the mid 40's. Never using that class again. Bloodlust is complete bull, and flamer without any REAL tankiness is just about as good as blinding myself.

PUG minions are of poor quality indeed, that said I've found that running around with a Talon to be a very good idea, trying not to nuking everything and make it a 15min game at the risk of Trolling every1 is becoming harder and harder to resist

The gun or character?

Character
Spamming Mines non-stop and destroying everything cause those PUGs are depleting my Gels and Thermal Packs are more plentiful than Gels

Talon has become one of my favorte characthers for this reason. With a bad team you tend to get large clusters of enemies that it' easy to hit wit cain mines. I'm not sure how many teams I've bailed out in the last few weeks by doing that.  Not really caring about the money to much anymore helps.

I see a lot of people play juggernauts and volus and stand around and do almost literally nothing. Longest game I played was today, about 45 minutes. More like lack of trying than lack of skill to me.

PC Gold PUGs are crap, as a rule. It's routine to have two bad players, I just pray there's one person who can play other than me. It's really testing my limits, sometimes I just can't carry them to completion (sniper on Glacier, say, or bad luck, or *cough* making a mistake.) And it's also restricting what kits I feel comfortable playing.

I'm getting a lot more ruthless about not reviving people, too. If it's a dangerous revive I've got to let them bleed out, they're useless anyway, and if I go down permanently I know they can't complete a late wave.

I really wish they'd play Bronze and Silver first. I mean, I'm seeing more than one person, in a match, with an N7 under 120. I routinely see people with challenge ratings under 1k, or even 500. They have level 1 rare or UR guns, or they're using guns that are worthless to their build, they don't use equipment, and some of them don't even use gear.

/rant

Sometimes I don't mind, it can be a challenge to carry. But it's becoming too often.

HEY, I'm one of those few people who have a less than 1k challenge rating, and am pug'ing UUG fine. If I play a Human Adept, I'm around 20,000 above the rest of my teammates. Though, I got to admit, when I do pug, everyone just decides to stop using medigel after the last objective wave. Like, I got grabbed wave 10 on Palaven against reapers, and the last man was a Geth Juggernaut who wouldn't use his missiles or medigel to get extraction. That is the sort of thing that pisses me off. I mean, they put an extraction bonus in there for a reason, and it's not like it was mid wave either. There was literally two brutes and two banshees left. One which was down to half armor because of incendiary ammo, warp, and shockwave. Dat Burst DPS.

[TMB903]

There are quite a few new players on PS3 from what I've been seeing. More than a few of them are using gels and stuff so I let em stick around....and then you have those who clearly are in above their heads. Fighting Reapers it's actually pretty funny watching Banshees chase them around the map.

To be honest, I don't know. I've always noticed PUGs with at least one noob player leaching off veterans - this is nothing new.

When I first started out on gold, this would've been a worry. I've spent enough time ranting about the issue; now it's come to the point where I'm confident to carry a gold match. If people don't pull their weight - it's their problem and whether they can sleep with their consciences at night.

What I will say, however, is please, please, please use equipment on Platinum.

Leechers dying within the first ten seconds of every wave is getting more common, but you have to think that it must be boring for them. Don't they have anything better to do with their lives? Apparently not. If anything, pity them.

Yeah, I've noticed that as well lately. One game I had this weekend was some stupid human soldier with a Collector AR I who managed to waste all his medigel at the third round. I did happen to play a class to carry, a TGI with a macro'd Mattock VII *cough*Beat the guy with the VI Harrier in a different game*cough*, but I just didn't want to waste the 40 minutes of my life babying these plebs. After I got dropped the third time that round, and being the last man alive, I just had to quit.

[Kalas Magnus]

Nope

Same as always.
