Number 2: Be ready!...

I never ever had someone using voice chat so far and I have almost 60h multiplayer only!?
When playing with friends in ME3 we used teamspeak anyway to communicate outside the game/lobby. Since my friends are scattered around platforms there is little urge for me to use voice chat anymore. Maybe I have disabled it in settings ... would I hear other players?
The tutorial/tool tip only suggests a level as a rule of thumb but without APEX or weapon levels or even character level! It should more like this:
Character class VIII - X
of lvl 18+
with rare or ultra-rare weapons/mods (or uncommon VI - X).
Also being in a coordinated group makes up for some shortcomings in lvl or equipment.
So how should a new player know better (other than after his first gold match)?

Exactly this...
I play on xbox 1. Have gotten through and won both bronze and silver matches easily. The next logical step for me.. to try gold. My apex rating is only just over 2k though, I have no idea what is required to play gold matches other then what the load screen for it says - recommended for level 20. Of course lag can make bronze and silver fail just as easy as I imagine it could make gold fail but I know how to play and stay out of trouble when my character isnt stuck rubber banding from lag.
P.S. went to tey my first gold mission and got booted from the lobby, they didn’t even bother to speak to me. Rude imo.
Just start a public match on solo, peeps will join later. Level 18 for gold is really an overstatement. As long as you get the bottom two skills, you should be good 🥳

Haha I gave up for now.. finally got state of decay and downloaded it. Will try again in a few days when I get bored zombie killing.
An overstatement?
Sorry, but that seems misleading imo. Only if you field an Engineer tier X with a Hurricane V or so you should enter at level 10+ or so ...
There are characteristics I think that lowers the level suggestion of 18:
- A character between tier VII - X (gained from duplicates out of the packs) may reduce level requirement slightly. 2-3 levels or so? A high tier means a lot of extra skill points, I think up to 25 can be gained by full tier X.
- Some efficient rare or all ultra-rare weapons and mods (or uncommen lvl VI - X) reduce level requirement much more. 5 levels maybe...
- A very high APEX rating (10K+) usually let others players be more lenient though (because of the good equipment of ultra-rares) ...
So yeah, you can enter earlier than level 18 with good weaponry and a high tier.
But usually characters with lower levels are not well liked in gold unless their weaponry makes up for it.
If you have enough map knowledge and know how to manoeuvre from cover to cover and save the consumables for round 6, gold should be doable with a bronze gun and a level 11 char where the bottom two skills are filled for my experience. People who just blatantly vote to kick are really biased imo.
