Searched for a Silver game this morning as I didn't have time for a Gold.
Got in a lobby but it was changed to bronze. I sent a message to the Host, which was a guy with 55k CPs, with the subject "silver", to see if he could change the difficulty.
He replies: "f you, I don't want to help you".
And I'm like "wut?!?!"
I really don't get some PUGs...
Some people are just a bit grumpy in the morning. Happens a lot.
Recently I searched for a Gold lobby. Arrived with my level IV equipment and level V gear, level X weapon, and a solid character. Host took one look and switched the game to Bronze. But in my case, my reputation may have gotten around

At least your rep is big, there are still people who actually expect me to be good
I was hosting a Plat game with didacuscarr last week, but his internet connection disconnected him and a pug took his place. I had to solo wave 10 objectives and many other waves before that. Don't remember exactly how the game ended but as we got back in the lobby, I switched the difficulty down to bronze, as I felt it was more appropriate for 3/4 part of the lobby.
I couldn't find a U/R/G game with my BatSol/ Graal, so I took my equipment off and searched for U/U/S. I landed in a lobby with a Lone Wolf Banner-wearing Turian Soldier with BPP 5 and Acolyte, also with no equipment. He gave me a kick vote. I gave him a kick vote. He switched it to Bronze. I left, and sent him a ??? message. Then the same thing happened again, only this time there was a level 17 Geth Trooper in the lobby too, all ready to go. He didn't have a kick vote, but I got one straightaway. I may only be at N7 120 on this alt, but the other guy was only in double figures so it wasn't that, and it wasn't like I was going to be stealing his grenades.
Ho-hum. He'll never know what he was missing, though I genuinely have no clue what he was taking exception to. Pugs, eh?!

Damn that sucks! But N7 rank doesn't say much when looking only at that number. You need to check CP too. Not even that is 100% certainty that someone is good, but gives an idea, at least.
Someone with 120 N7 but 100k CPs is playing for a long time already.
Now you see a N7 120 with 200 CPs, that probably means it's someone that started playing for a couple of weeks. Or it's an alt and the person may have skills, just not manifest.
I gotta say - on PC, I've only seen it the other way round when the host switches from gold to plat. And then I'm the pug that quits - in wave 2 when I finally realize it's plat.

Agreed on all that, but I also think it's worth saying that judging anyone before you play with them is pretty lousy, especially on Silver.

PS3? Was that ErzP*****n? If yes, for future encounters, just quit instantly, the guy is the worst player I have met in ME, and not because he cannot play.

It was indeed. Perhaps he's the PS3 equivalent of the Xbox dude who refuses to play with BSNers, as my alt a/c is actually the incredibly innovative 'GruntKitterhand'.

Hey, I think the guy I mentioned in this was this erz, but I'm not sure. Could be. So he has a history? He's like famous
I disagree.
I love the smell of pugs in the reactor in the morning.
You know, one time we had the reactor filled with abombs for 10 waves. When it was over, I walked in. We didn't find one of 'em, not one stinkin' pug body. The smell, you know that abomination smell, the whole reactor. Smelled like
Victory
Cue the Ride of the Valkyries

You have to rub their noses in it for them to learn. Or lock them in the reactor a few times. That should shape them up.

Looks like we may have found ourselves a lurker! You're lucky though - at least you got a reply.

I replied to him, and he basically called me a worm 
I won't sleep tonight and I can't even work due to his comment on my person. I'm very worried and I scheduled a psychologist for tonight.

About the guy:
Back then, when I made my first steps into silver, I encountered him. He was all alone, in a public lobby, and put an instant kickvote on me and set this message: guy never then wait forever. I was confused as hell, what does he want? I replied, that if he wants me to leave just say so, if not, what is the problem? I thought he was having a problem that I not equipped any consumables. No reply whatsoever. I quitted. Next try, game puts me in his lobby, kickvote, I quit. Next try, this again. Fourth try was a match, but after that, the above procedure. By this time, I was really annoyed, because I thought the guy was trolling people by maintaining a lobby and kicking everyone who comes in the lobby, so I stayed in the lobby. He switched it to private and put a kickvote on me. I just left the PS on, to troll the guy back, and went to watch some football. After the match, the lobby was still on. Holy crap, I did not expect that. I asked him, what the hell is he doing. He answered, that he can show me hell and break me into a thousand pieces. That made me laugh, so I replied why trolling people with empty lobbies. This is where it turned out that he wasn't trolling. Sadly, he was serious the whole time.
He sent me some looong messages, bragging that he is able to solo silver twice with no equipment put on while I am bitching around in a normal pug match, calling me an idiot, useless, a leecher (notice, that we didn't even managed to play yet). My reply: then why are you playing silver, why not gold and why won't you play private with friends (I deliberately try to not insult him in my messages, to really figure out what's his deal. It's not to try to be "holier art thou", I just didn't want the messages to be concentrated on insults). His answer? He is looking for worthy people and not for scums like me. My reply: worthy to coop with? If this was a PVP, I'd understand you, but are you so smug that you are trolling people by this way in a coop game? Him: nobody likes N7 farmers, I am an useless leecher, I am worthless in a party, I would just killsteal and leech my way to get more n7p/cp/exp, I am a scum, me and the other people should be banned from this game.
My reply: I understand hating leechers, but by your definition the majority of the playerbase are leechers because they are not on gold level at least and many people doesn't even want to be good just enjoy the game as casual players. His reply: Bioware made a bad job on this, on Nintendo you can ban people form even joining your lobby and hosts are more important than sucky leechers like me. This was where I just sit before the TV dumbfounded and decided to end this link of comments: I admit it sounds bad, goodbye. Well, he didn't think so, he sent me his longest message: people who max out a character, and joins with lvl 1 chars in gold matches are twinks and only care about n7 rank, and when he changed a silver room into a plat room a noob joined with a lvl 3 phaeston. They are rude and unkickable mid-match, that is why they try that.
I didn't reply to this, he never replied to me again, no matter what my equipment or level was, he always put a kickvote on me on silver, so I think he remembers me.
Much later I actually joined him in mid-match, I guess he forgot to switch to private. He produced a really high score and had a blast in a Silver match, so he is a good player, just an *******. Plus point, he didn't have a mic, so at least he only do this in writing. (I actually searched back my messages, so what you can read here are the actual words, just in a nutshell because his messages were way longer.)
Edit: TLDR: he is the worst type of elitist. Avoid him, always quit if you get in his lobby, even if you have the unknown requirements of playing with him. Let him solo.
Thanks.

hahahaha this guy is a joke! I admire your patience. I end up insulting this kind of people, shame on me.
This guys has no logic at all. Bragging about soloing silver with 55k points... This guys should be soloing Plat!
