Gold is boring and trivial when people are spamming grenades, using reegars, and bringing plat speedrun meta kits into the match while nuking spawns, but unlike platinum it's fun when people aren't doing those things. Platinum is never fun unless it's a solo. I guess I hate soloing gold but like soloing platinum, but hate playing platinum with a team and like playing gold with one. Yesterday I was playing some Gold to level up Adept class a bit, and one pug had both a Reeger AIU and the other an Acolyte Trooper. Got so bored that by wave 7 I told these guys "I'm sure you guys can handle this" into the mic, put a rubber band on left analog stick so I don't get kicked, and went and did something else. Came back at wave 9 to see an AIU only wave cleanup, and my dead body not where I left it and dead pugs around it. AIU managed to clean wave with rockets, of course. That's when I was like "These pugs can't do it." So I flexed some level 12 Krogan Shaman pecs and made sure device objective got done. These pugs need to go back to silver and learn how to play for real instead of relying of lame trivialising cheese, but I didn't say that into the mic. And went back to Platinum next where garbage like this isn't as annoying.

Gold. still the same old gold for me. I do admit..if I have a challenge that is up to or above 95% completed...I will fire up a bronze solo just to knock them out really quick.

After playing platinum recently, I don't really mind playing it too much. Maybe if I host more often, then I'll consider playing it more often. Not to say I don't pug platinum off host just that, sometimes I don't want have to clutch waves on platinum with boss spamming on top of, off host space magic BS like rubber banding and having my shield boost not work like 5 times in a row, which is like another hidden layer of difficulty on top of platinum and the obvious boss spamming shenanigans. Honestly clutching platinum waves off host is not fun at all. And sometimes I don't think the person being host understands how much power they have with that host advantage . Minus the on host phantom DR. Everything works properly for the host at least.

Gold is the most balanced difficulty, IMO. Platinum is all about DPS, while on Gold, you can survive and thrive even with Avenger X on full auto.

I play gold if I play with you guys from the bsn, otherwise it's silver. I'm still a scrub lol. I am pretty sure you are qualified for gold. Now go get the PC and join the master race.

When you say overpowered for gold, like what set ups would you consider op? Harrier on anything outside of maybe a Volus (not including Engineer) is too OP. For Gold I used to love things like Geth Pulse Rifle GE and Locust FQE/TSol. I also preferred playing Gold with much less skilled players or just starting pugs to keep it challenging/interesting enough. myself on top of the score board. But on Platinum, I can finally play with the Harrier on more kits. And when I see Harrier TGIs on Platinum, I don't care anymore. Though I still don't care to play as something like Harrier TGI outside of solo environment. FTFY Friends are gold, pugs are silver.

Lately in gold, I find too much Reeger party. On Krogans no less. It somehow hurt my eyes. What others do is not my business and I try to teaming unfazed..but.. I still leave after a game or 2 and try a solo.
Almost did my first 30 ish solo with Smashdept against Cerberus other day. On top of that did not get synced in all 4 attempts. I blame it on laptop, and dragoons.

I like using Reegar or Geth Plasma shotgun, those are my favourite two. I can't remember which weapons are maxed out, I'll have to check my manifest.

Mostly playing with friends these days, doing gold motto games (all Asari, all Volus...), so it's gold for me.
Gold PUG Lobbys look awful, but what the heck? If they look too weak/unexperienced, i take my trusty Justicar/TSol/SI and off we go.
Platin is still no fun for me, only playing when friends want me to join or i feel very comfortable/drunk and try some PUGs which goes surprisingly well in most cases.

Gold is nice, and I play it a lot.
But I play Platinum matches in the morning before going to work... so, literally "breakfast".
