Just wanted to say...

I wish I could say I was exaggerating about silver PUGs, and I'm glad that you get lucky. I will, however, give a shoutout to a group of Germans who only play Silver on the PS3 who are great players all-round (mostly maxed manifests, just having a good time), I used to play with them a lot, but I dunno what happened, stopped playing together at some point, they ended up deleting me at some point, sad but true. If you see Polarwolf around in your silver matches, be sure to stick around, he's a great guy, and a lot of his friends are pretty good too.

There's also a few... mentally unstable people hosting silver matches around on the PS3, ErzPaladin is one of the more sane of the bunch of bad hosts. There's all kinds playing this game, and Silver is probably the most diverse group, with everything ranging from newbs who want more credits than Bronze, to vets who have no place below plat, from great people who play only to have fun and chat with people, to unstable people who spend the whole match raging and berating their fellow players. I've ran into some really great players on Silver, made some friends (that I don't play with any more, I wonder what happened sometimes) there, stayed longer than I should because the people I liked playing with only played Silver.

I have nothing against the difficulty, or playing it, I am happy to have a lark romping Silver with friends even. I just wont PUG it any more, too many bad experiences too often, almost every single PUG Silver match is bad for me, it's also frequented by quite a few people that I am actively avoiding (I wont name them here, that would be unfair to them).
