Clarified what I meant by the 15k gold score at the top via edit. As a couple of people pointed out, I meant challenge points, not gold average score. Though 15k bullets via a Shuriken, that would be a story to tell.
I just got out of another game where I went from level 10 to 13 (silver). Exited the match, back to level 10 again. Didn't even spend my points, just instantly gone. So frustrating.
Platform is PC by the way.
I realize there is literally nothing that can be done since the last patch was forever ago and Bioware/EA ceased updating. However, I feel the need to vent, and maybe there is some sort of trick I'm not aware of to help out that somebody knows about.
1) So today, I spent 3.7 million credits after saving up for a week. I already have everything except for Ultra Rare weapons so figured I would just save up for funsies. I bought 99k boxes of all shapes and sizes, and I ended up with 6 Ultra Rare weapon upgrades. So basically each box (37 total) gave me a 16% success rate. Maybe that's normal, but at that pace I'll have the Ultra Rare weapons done sometime next century.
2) I just got out of my 3rd straight game, and 4th total today, where the XP rewarded for the character a few minutes after the match concludes disappears along with any credits earned. This isn't the first instance of it happening for me. This includes couple of successful plat runs that I saw my credits disappear shortly after conclusion. I estimate that I've lost close to 1 million credits from this crap. The 3rd time in a row makes me want to uninstall the game and never touch it again. I just started promoting characters because I ran out of challenges to complete (yes I realize they are repeatable, just trying to complete each category once in order to get the green check mark), so I thought it would give me something to do while I try and max out the Ultra Rare weapons. But instead, not only am I spinning backwords with the credit lost, leveling becomes pointless also.
In the 3 games, there were 2 different hosts, and myself hosting as well (even through in a restart in between) Went all 11 rounds, on a gold match, and successfully evaced at the end.
3) I'm still learning, my gold score is something like 15k or so, so I realize that it might not be fare for a non-zomg ownage player to complain about bad players, but I'm going to anyways. What is with Gold and Plat pugs lately? I find more games with people having ZERO equipment (not even the free passive) and level 1 weapons then I do find games with people who actually know what they are doing. True story, joined a Plat pug game today and the person hosting had an N7 score of 1......Like never played a single multiplayer match.
So in summary, if I manage to find a group which doesn't consist of people who barely know how to shoot their weapons, and the the game actually awards me properly and not revert all of my progress after every single mission, I then have the pleasure of buying 10 gazillion freaken boxes of which I might find 1 Ultra Rare afterwords. Sigh..../vent
Edit 1:
I wrote confusingly when I said gold score and rightfully so people questioned it. What I meant was I have a challenge score of over 15k. Gold and Plat matches I typically score in the top two for what it's worth, depending on if I'm trying to accomplish a specific challenge goal or not.
Also as of note, since a few asked, platform is on PC.
Lmaoooooooooooo
Oh my guy.
You need to chill.
I spent 1500+ hours in this game to max my manifest on PS3 alone. I didn't even bother on Xbox.
It could be worse. You could be without MP at all and in a situation where you just finished playing through ME2 SP on Insanity, then ME2 on Casual (aka godmode), deciding you like playing InfiltratorShep, then importing your character to ME3 and realizing to continue you really have to play f****** ME3 SP again and sit through all the Kashley arguments, unskippable Hackett plot exposition and dream sequences, hours dorking around on fedexing stuff on the citadel, and listening to crappy Clint Mansell music just to get shield gated by Marauders and Centurions.
Lol yes I suppose that's true. I think my other complaints about the RNG system and the newbs I could live with. What ultimately made me post was this re-occuring issue where I complete a multiplayer mission and get jack for doing it. No levels, no credits, nothing. Since I just posted a few hours ago, it's happened twice more. About the only thing that I can find that is consistent is whenever a host quickly closes the session upon mission end (sometimes just as I'm entering the score screen) or I leave a session shortly after. So what I've been trying to do is open up as many menu's as I can before exiting. Probably just coincidence, but it's extremely frustrating.

If a host leaves or you end up exiting a lobby and find missing credits/XP, sometimes if you immediately alt+f4 then relaunch the game the credits will be back in your account. It's not a guaranteed fix but I recall having some success with it.

Sweet, something to try at least. Appreciate it
No really ... A shuriken fire rate is 700 RPM. 15K is 22 minutes non-stop on an average gold match with PUGS.... Though 15k bullets via a Shuriken, that would be a story to tell.
As everybody said : me3 is about the journey and not just reaching the destination.
Frank_is_crank gave you two links, which you undoubtedly haven't even touched, yet. In the second link the adobe file explain on page 14. that you can reach that goal in at mininimum 958 hours if you rarely waste consumables (medi-gels, ops, cobra, ammo packs), ignore the challenges, extract everytime etc. in short- utopia play. Or u constantly leech/good friends, but extract nonetheless.
I dont know why I wasting time answering this - if u didn't even read the first response from the community ... (Voice trails off in the sunset)...
If even u don't take your own posts seriously , why should we ?- So its best to treat this as troll post and simply make further jokes...
You're on PC man. Mod yourself at least 98m credits, complete the manifest and then continue to frustrate fellow players with mediocre play on plat. Get frustrated quickly and mod your own lobbies to give only urself god mode that leave other naives in awe of your "excellent" play. Come to bsn to laugh at the console race and deny modding vigourously. Discover the art of modding finesse and the Challenge of submitting to the hall of fame without others detecting it. Secretly wonder why the quality of fellow PC player is so low, and the lobbies so empty in comparison to the glorious years. Been there done that.
You sure are helpful kind of person aren't you...*voice trails off* I don't know why I'm wasting my time responding to you but I'll go ahead and do so.
Why do you automatically assume I hadn't clicked on the useful links? Turns out tough guy, I did. One of the links I had already skimmed over weeks ago. However, I did not read the entire .pdf however, so it was helpful knowing that an estimated 958 hours will be necessary to unlocking everything. Without ever holding a single conversation with me, you sure formed your opinions about me pretty quickly though. I guess I'm just a cheating worthless lazy random player to show up to your forums. My bad, I'll see myself out. Silly me for reaching out to the community to give me reason to keep trying.

We're not all like that. You need thick skin to survive around here.

Dude, calm down. While I appreciate you honorable mention me linking your thread you can't assume OP didn't read it.
Cut him some slack, he's new to this microcosm we call BSN.
words as well
Dude, calm down. No need to run away because of some snarky remark. BSN can be a harsh mistress to new forum members. Try to deal with it and you'll be rewarded with helpful, funny and extremly awkward responses .
Maybe post your information here and eventually make some friends to help you max your manifest or just have fun.

If you fancy playing, I'm on my PC almost every night (GMT), so you could always add me.

Well honestly op, the only reason to keep playing is on you. BSNers aren't going to give you that reason...unless they happen to be people you enjoy playing with.
Soooo, kind of seeking the wrong thing from this place.

I know how you feel. I just started a new ME2 character (imorted lvl 60 from ME1). Basically I decided to cheese the game and made an SMG infiltrator with specialty in assault rifles (Mattock) and shredder ammo. I use the sniper rifle from Thane's recruitment mission because it is amazingly OP. I also use the Locust SMG from Kasumi's loyalty mission. Put all of those skills / weapons together and it's basically walk in, "I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle."
I doubt I will import to ME3. I mean, the game is just awful - the only reason I haven't deleted it from my rig is for the Multi Player. Want some fun in the MEU pre-starkid / marauder shields? If you do, I have the game for you: ME3-MP! Gear up and set your dial for PUG. Nothing will keep you on your toes like fighting the Reapers with the elite of the elitist in the galaxy. Watch as they equip SMG gear for their M-8 Avengers, don't do objective waves - and find new and interesting to die. I dare you to try it and not laugh with them. I mean, that's what I told them - I'm laughing with them.

Check your N7HQ page when that happens. If the credits/XP appear there, exit the game (I do it normally, Alt+F4 may work just as well, dunno) and restart it. It may take a couple tries and/or restarting Origin too, but with some luck (more than 90% success rate here) you'll get them back. If they don't/ you don't feel like doing all this, 
Space magic will get them back (I recommend the console).

Well after looking here I have good news and bad news. The bad news is, based on your time, you have another 400-500 hours until you max out. The good news is you're on PC and you can just give yourself 1,000,000,000 credits and max out in the few hours it takes you to sit there and buy all the packs. Dev support and bans stopped a long time ago so there really isn't any problem with doing it now. You have 36.66% of your ultra rares unlocked, so you're a little over 1/3 of the way done, which is right on average pace. I know the grind, and so does anyone who is still left around here.
Secondly, if you didn't know about N7HQ, then you probably don't know about Kalence. It's an online character building tool that allows you to spec characters and put on gear and attachments and see what power/weapon damage would look like with that build. There are a few minor glitches which you'll learn over time, but overall it's a great tool that keeps you from needed to respec your characters over and over again until you find out what works best.
Thirdly, as others have said, don't get too upset with what people say. For the most part it's tongue in cheek and newcomer prodding for fun. The people who are still here know more about the game than the developers, so it's your best source for information should you want it. I became infinitely better at the game after coming here and learning a ton of details about how the game functions.
Lastly, if you post your country and normal gaming hours, you'll find some people here willing to get games with you. Games with BSNers tend to go very smooth and fast. It's a nice change of pace from randoms.

gr8. So you have reached the Rare Weapon goal 65% slower than an "utopian god". Continuing with your current playstyle means you are in it for at least another 533 hours (525*0,66/65%/3) till touchdown (would've like to offline bet with DisturbPsic0 estimated hours).
If we assume you play 3 hours per day (in sun, rain, typhoon, holidays, weekends, superbowls) you'll be finished around 15 October 2016 - Just in time for ME: Andromeda to credit you for a complete manifest.

Yeah, because everybody here can finish Silver. That probably can't be said for any of the DEVELOPERS. (Brojo probably being the only Bioware person who can even play the game, and from what I hear, he was pretty good. And he was QA, not developer, so doesn't count).

My favorite quote for today!
I will keep this in mind every time I:
- spent credits
- mission scrupped
- loosing everything for no credits because of "Ultimate Stasis" attack
I'm crying with you Nico. (it was a dry spell for me also : 1.1m Credits wasted before I got these two). I got a Wraith VII and M-90 Indra VIII right after each other, yesterday. Changed behaviour to break the "spell". How many credits since your last drop?(objectively)
I don't know how many million credits I have put into that damn slot machine, since my last drop?...
... But now I can tell you, that I had a very interesting journey with a lot of awesome games!
I don't care about those damn, nasty 137 missing UR's!
