Edit: All right... the good-spirited posts here have shamed me into a return to my standard of running with just about anyone.

I posted this thread while cranky for being not-quite-solid enough to carry the final wave of a few Gold matches in a row, after no other players used missiles or gel. Still, I can always learn more, and I've had many more matches go well than go badly.

Since I do notice when low-level players enter without consumables, gear, or a word of greeting, so below are my original criteria. It  takes effort not to meet the list below. The mic alone will do it:  I've always taken anyone with the decency to say hello.


.......
How do you decide if your team is a go?

If I have a friend on the team, we're good. For a full PuG, I've found I use a kind of flow chart:

Is it Bronze?
You're in.

Is it Silver?
You're in if you meet any two of these:
- level 16+
- decent Challenge rating
- appropriate weapon and mods
- gear or consumables

Is it Gold?
Meet any three of the above.

Is it Platinum?
Need a revive medal?


Consumables indicate a commitment to the match, always welcome. A high Challenge rating indicates strong experience (so does a high N7 rank, though a low N7 rank isn't a problem), and that usually means good team play. I also check to make sure you have Gear: I don't care about the level, but having none is silly.

If someone doesn't meet those levels, I'll ask on the mic. Any response gets you in.

No response? If other teammates object, I'll vote to kick, and that's the only time I do so: someone's not prepared, not responsive, and not sitting well with the rest of the team. If other teammates don't object, on Silver, I'll still go, but on Gold, I'll move to another Lobby.


Anyone else use a different scale? Different criteria? Ever check banners? Particular equipment or weapons?

if under N7120 I'm wary of them, but I'll give them a go (except platinum).
Also, if they don't even equip gear or lvl 1 consumables on Gold+ It's a boot from me.

Bronze-silver= you're in.
Gold = Level 14+ and gear, you're in, N7 > 119
Plstinum = :Level 18+ gear and equipment, N7 > 119

With a ruler.

I really just look at their loadout, level, and N7/Challenge Points.

[ClydeInTheShell]

I play with them.

[mumba]

For me when it comes to PUG's only.

Gold - 15+ Good weapons, gear and class
Platinum - 20 Crutch classes and weapons

I don't trust random's with anything else.

If you're my friend you can go lvl 1 with a shuriken for all I care.

Ok, ok. Wise and true.

I just came off four games in a row this weekend where I found I can carry a team through Gold waves 6 through 9, but, using all my missiles, packs, and gels, I can't quite solo wave 10 hacks/ disable 4 objectives. Painful, and now I'm more wary in the Lobby.

My standards look fair: I'll run with anyone - anyone can make it to level 16, choose fitting Gear, and equip consumables - but it isn't fair for players to come without the effort they expect from their teammates.

Bronze - Do your thumbs work? Are you breathing? Can your cat play for you until you get back?

Silver - meh...you're in. I mean, who gives a damn?

Gold - No equipment, terrible weapons, N7<120, and NO GEAR?!? ---> Das boot.

Platinum - I don't PUG Platinum. Not anymore.

[Kinom001]

I always find it funny when someone with a N7 of 120 but 30k challenge points joins a game. It's like no one knows how to behave towards them.

Personally, if I join a lobby full of low N7's I just shrug my shoulders and gear up. It's a game for me. No more, no less.

[NuclearTech76]

Everyone gets a chance if they have equipment on. I don't give a damn if it's explosive rounds.

[Doodle]

Bronze - Any

Silver - Any

Gold - Any

Platinum - Any (i rarely plat anyway)

Yeah i like failing as much as i like succeeding

[DullahansXMark]

Weapon combination relative to kit used, and whether or not they use equipment. (Gold)

Although really, as long as I have one fallback guy and two people willing to Medi-Gel to save the entire match, I'm good.

[chcknwng]

Usually I stay in the lobby if there is indication that at least one other player can handle Gold. Exp points, weapon levels and their load out, what gear and consumables they use.

Weapon mods is a huge give away. Anyone who use piercing on explosive weapons, no piercing at all on Gold+, ULM on AR/SR/shotgun, shotguns without Smartchoke (excluding Graal, GPS, Reegar, Crusader and Venom) are pretty much give aways that the player has little experience with Gold.

Sometimes people make me uneasy with their loadouts, but I don't have any hard and fast rules. Just PEWPEWPEW in the right direction most of the time and we'll all be fine.

The pity is that 90% of the time the players that are N7 100 with a version iv of a weapon use gear only at most.

Please elaborate on "piercing on explosive weapons" -- like, should I not take the "Pistol Piercing Mod" on the acolyte? 

[Dokteur Kill]

Lately I've mostly been playing silver with low-level characters (only one more promotion now!), so if the lobby looks a bit on the weakish side, I'll just find another one. But if I'm faffing about in silver with a fully leveled character, I usually don't care what the other players are using.

In gold, I'll take a look at their loadout and see if they seem to know what they're doing. Don't really have any "rules" as such. If someone has crap weapons but is playing a power-based character and has sensible consumables, that's ok with me. If they skip consumables but have a powerful class and weapons combo, then that usually works as well.

[acicm2]

I don't care who I play with with on gold as long as they help with objectives, kill stuff and have on at least level 1 gear if they are a low level.

You shouldn't. The same goes for striker, falcon, krysae and i'm, not sure about venom.
