I figure it's like 'pay it forward' or backward or something. Sometimes I leech off @natinthehat with my level 1 scrubbiness on Gold, and sometimes I'm the one playing a level 19 on Gold and carrying some random other scrub. It's the circle of life or something like that. I leach off nat always. The conversations are the only reason I still play.

*small rant inbound* As much as I want to play this game, i'm getting so sick of either 1: being forced to play with low levels or 2: Spending 15 minutes kicking low levels or searching matches without them. My couple friends who got this game are no longer playing until new stuff ot balances come so, i'm forced to play with randoms. I seriously don't understand the logic with these people. It's not even worth trying to do the daily gold Apex mission late into the day because every single god damn lobby is filled with lvl 1-15's. I'd be willing to try it with a 10+ if they had a high apex rating but most of these fucking people have literally just gotten the game and are playing their first match. They simply don't have the common sense to realize the "Gold" is harder than "bronze." Smfh, it even gives recommended levels for doing the difficulties! I understand hoping into the lobby by mistake and then immediatly backing out, that's what I did when I was first figuring out how the Apex missions worked. But ffs they join and instantly ready up usually or attempt to host!

I always kick LVL1s if they don't have gear, low APEX rating and not fully leveled default weapons (or better). I don't care about people with high APEX, they have at least played a lot and will use better weapons.

There is a looking for group pinned (http://bsn.boards.net/thread/3116/looking-group-incl-xbox-community). Find some new friends on your platform. Don't have to worry about lvl 1's then.

Had my issues when lvl1s without equipment join Gold+ lobbies and instantly presses ready in ME3mp and got it in MEAmp as well.
What I've seen so far, if things go wrong while uploading he'll let himself bleed to death in the most critical moment or won't cobra the Destroyer when there are 5 seconds left at an assassination. The others are wasting their time, good mood and equipment then. There is no higher difficulty right now, so what is he saving for? Just equip a single bronze booster to show some spirit or manner. Me is still trying out lvl1 characters on Bronze with an Apex rating of 15k+ and not want to be a burden for others, especially when Charge is on another key/button all of the sudden.

To be fair I regularly get people with high APEX and leveled kits that have no business being in Gold either. You know, the kind that dies 3 times on wave one, ends the match with a 6k score and botches the extraction.

To be fair i was kicked a lot even with level 7-8 characters. Most of the time in those lobbies we had low apex rating players probably having no clue. Even at Level 1 if my character is Level X i have like 20 starting points so can max out an entire power. For example i can start with maxed Tactical Cloak or Turbocharge and make up for the rest with boosters. This is what i do most of the time. Not going to play bloody silver just because i started to level up a new character.

It's not like you need levels to farm Outlaws with Vanquisher. And max ranks LVL 1s is ok too. I'll take a max rank LVL 1 human vanguard over a level 10 rank I Kroguard every single time. As long as they use cobras if shit hits the fan and gel I don't mind.
For other classes, tough.. Yeah, some need levels but even an infiltrator should be ok as long as he has his cloak, it's not like you need any other powers anyway. Now why again do you need those levels for?
Ah, yes, using character powers to kill things in MEMP in 2017. We have dismissed that claim.

For making it harder for people who A. Aren't as lazy or B. Aren't as stupid as you to get in games. Level 1 doesn't necessarily mean this player can't hold their own. Please tell me, why she/he cannot even top the scoreboard using a Vanquisher for example?

Viable classes on Level 1, Rank X with Charger (which is a freakin' Common):
* anything with Stealth Grid (Asari Huntress, Angara Avenger) * Human Adept (prime all the things with Singularity) * Asari Adept (prime all the things with Annihilation) * Krogan Gladiator for that matter * Human Vanguard who knows how to abuse i-frames with Nova * Asari Duelist who knows how to abuse i-frames with her melee * Human Sentinel with Electric Defense Barricade (Tech Combo all the things) * any Infiltrator who can shoot strait (maybe use a SR instead of the Charger) * ... or throw Sticky Grenades, I hear those are good
At this point I realized I'm going to end up listing every class. Point is, with smart play, a level 1 is totally viable on Gold.

a level 1 is totally viable on Gold. Depends on what your definition of viable is. Judging by your list it's "being there and doing stuff". If you want to contribute in a meaningful way you need to equip a Vanquisher-tier SR on the lvl 1 toon and play very carefully (i.e. camp in cover). Period. Nobody cares if your lvl 1 Asari Adept is priming all the things with a rank 1 Annihilation and dieing all the time because she has no survivability and no business being in melee range. An unranked Singularity every 24s is probably even worse. Abusing iFrames on xguard while doing irrelevant damage due to no power ranks and passives isn't exactly helpful either.

I tried to play my lvl 7 H.Sentinel in Z/O/G room three times... all three of them crashed on me.
I had Energy drain & Barricade maxed, equipped Vanquisher X and was using Sniper Damage booster III & Exp boosters.
...I feel like game was kicking me out because the game thought I was trying to be carried.(which I was) but it was still too harsh to kick me at wave 4/5.

Depends on what your definition of viable is. Judging by your list it's " being there and doing stuff". Yes, that is exactly what 'viable' means. Also thanks to character cards a Level 1, Rank X character can max out one skill. So depending upon what you want, you can be really good at it. Anyone who sees me on XBL, bring your level 1s to my gold games. No I am not good enough to carry you personally but as part of a group? Sure.

Failed Gold is still a better time investment than successful Bronze. Bring on the level 1s. Yes I know. Back in 2012 I used to farm Platinum in my favorite box with other lowbobs. We were all low, so we didn't care. It often took more than 40 minutes to complete a game but those were the most amazing victories I ever had. I don't care when everyone is low, but I won't carry lowbobs with my good gear. I don't have that many II and III items. I currently level up the rest of my characters in Bronze games, mainly to complete the common weapons challenge. It takes around three Bronze games until you can start with Gold. Playing with Level 1 on Gold is possible but much harder. If you also don't own any good weapon it won't be fun.

And Fisto, the Vanguard, is good enough a weapon. PunchyMcPunch needs at least maxed Charge and Barrier and a Juggernaut Shield to contribute meaningful damage and not spend more time face down than punching on Gold. Other than that: Yes.

You just had to make me pull out my edong and swing it around in public, didn't you? Here's the result of my level 1 rank X Human Male Soldier with Hurricane on Gold.

Hurricane is easily a top 3 weapon, and rank X is perfectly sufficient for making a working Soldier build. Good job nontetheless!
