Multiplayer Etiquette in Public Lobbies
Number 1: For the love of whatever being you choose to believe or not to believe in... PUT YOUR MICROPHONE ON PUSH TO TALK. Options > Settings > Assign a freaking key please
Number 2: Be ready!...

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 🥳
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.

The thing is there is no communication why someone shouldn't be in the gold lobby, no explanations etc.
Therfore no tutoring. No learning. Just irritation...As said I have 60h in MP alone and never ever heard someone uses voice chat ... and there is no chat tool or quick chat tools.
I understand that chat feature is a danger since gamers tend to act extremly uneducated in online games, but anyway no way of tutoring what is requiered for gold lobby.
And regarding using consumables ... for an old ME:3 multiplayer veteran like me, I am under the impression esp. Cobra missiles are rarely used and hardly when it would be necessary.
And many players simply bleed out instead of reviving themselves.
Maybe players don't understand / know about them?
Maybe some misinterpreted gamer 'honor' that using such things is noooobish or so?
Or maybe players enter gold matches without sufficient consumables ... would like to see the how many my teammates own now that I am thinking of it.That's why I start my public matches solo. Don't want to play with me? Then you know where the "door" is. I'm not leaving and you can only kick me in-game.
I rarely use consumables as well if I play public. However, there are people (for me it's a waste) who find it faster to just use their cobras. I use it only when someone is about to be sync killed.
