New iteration of an old thread I made many moons ago.
New faces, maybe some progress has been made.
Soes the question, what difficulty do you regularly play on/are most comfortable on?
***
Myself, Plat pugs 99% of the time. I don't like the types of pugs Gold attracts, if I'm not on Plat I prefer silver for the lulz. But I often skip Gold altogether if I'm pugging on PC.
Gold/Plat pugs
when they get so bad I canstanza them I solo
Gold/Plat, lately it's been 90-10 Plat
Lag.
(Gold)
Gold/Plat pugs about 9 to 1
I mostly play bronze and silver... I only play gold with people here occasionally so they can do everything and I get the money haha... ive never played gold with random people... and ive not even tried platinum yet
Gold, almost exclusively. It let me use low / mid tier weapons while keeping the matches in reasonable lenghts, as well as melee characters without caring constantly about sync-kills. That's for me the best compromise between challenge and diversity.
Any/All.
Bronze is.... boring. However, it is good for Level 1 Solos.
I play Silver on my alt. Mostly because I was lacking missile/medigel capacity, and it's good for teaching/helping people with less experience.
I play Gold with PUGs on my Main account.
I play Platinum with friends on my main account.
I don't mind if I have to carry a wave or so on Platinum, because I only play it with Friends. However, on Gold, I may decide to not carry if I don't feel the PUGs are worth it. Silver carries are fun, it's like free Challenge Points.
One of these days, I'll do a Plat solo. I'm just a little inconsistent with my Gold solos, so I don't feel confident enough yet.
On ps3: I pug platinum because #unmaxedmanifestproblems. Otherwise I mostly play gold or platinum with friends, whatever they wanna play.
LOL.... Plat on xbox 
I beat the store...so I can do what I want.....but I mainly pug gold 99% there.. I do a silver w characters / weapons I don't like to warm up and knock out those challenge points then 2-3 gold pugs a night
Silver / Gold 50 / 50 split on PS3 
I am many, many, many UR's from getting even halfway done.. I really need plat there but LOL pugging platinum..plus with my mainly purchasing premium spectre packs, I need silver to replenish the consumables I equip for gold
PC starting my 1st ever manifest there this week ( 1st PC game I have played in 8 years ) so..LOL ..bronze till I figure out how to stay alive 
90% Gold, but if the pugs are being especially terrible I'll either throw on the level 4 gear and play some Plat, or promote and go back to Silver for a bit.

Has this endeavor started yet?
PuG Gold almost exclusively, because the only way I'm not going to be able to do what I want to do (whatever that might be) is if the lobby is loaded with good players, and how often does that happen? (And when good players are in the lobby it's such a novel experience that I tend to enjoy it anyway).
Gold or Plat with friends, as they prefer.

Put someone bigger than you are in front then fire over their shoulder. 
Same principle as, "I don't have to run faster than the bear, I just have to run faster than you."
80% Gold PUGs
10% Platinum - usually only if I get in a game with BSNers or into a really good Gold PUG lobby that sticks together
10% Silver - mostly for trying out very underpowered (but fun) setups, or if I don't have time for a Gold match but I want a few more credits to get another pack
Has this endeavor started yet?
I ordered it from amazon last thursday...according to fedex...it's in phoenix...might have it tomar....
PUG Gold
My manifest and consumable counts are sprinkled pretty thinly to be able to consistently do plat. Also, idk how well a plat PUG would go xD
The game must really be different now if Gold pugs attract different people than Platinum pugs.
Gold is more fun than Platinum, but seeing as how I don't actually play random games any longer, it depends on which one my friends want to play.
66.66% - Gold
33.33% - Silver
.01% - Platinum (When lobby leader changes and I'm not looking)
Silver cause I'm a noob and gold + plat when the others are carrying me.
Lately plat 95%, gold 5%. With friends is nearly always plat cause them credits, even though I no longer need them. When pugging I prefer plat too because it seems to me that the pugs are better. There may be some players that shouldn't be playing plat, but those who can play usually help with objectives, unlike gold. And I find it stimulating to make silly things work on plat, such as some melee builds, or finding kits I can use the Avenger on and still contribute (vanilla human adept, for example)... Of course I take less risks when pugging, and i'm a bit picky with the lobbies I land on. The occasional gold game occurs when testing things or when going full careless melee, or a warmup here and there. If I promoted, I'd play some silver, maybe, but I don't.
These days, mostly Gold pugs, sometimes drop down to Silver to try something new with which I'm not familiar enough and sometimes, bump it up to Platinum, to get my heartbeat elevated and get some extra credits.
Been playing Plat lately, but mostly Gold.
