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!...

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.
I have the human kinectic character + several rare weapons, I also have the P.A.W but frankly with my character and its special ability my dmg is mostly in my ability to stay in cover and chain cast powers for combo effects.
Besides I dislike the P.A.W compared to my carnifex pistol which deals a pretty mean amount of damage for a pistol ! Add disruptor dmg and its pretty nasty. Headshots ftw. I never let it run out of ammo so even tho I have a low assault rifle equipped I never use it. Just gotta know the maps and how to skirt past the ammo boxes on the way past.

I do think a Carnifex X (much like a Disciple X) is still a potent weapon in gold matches.
And I am pretty sure no-one who adds boosts (and has gear euqipped) with such a weapon should be kicked out of the lobby.
But I understand that characters that don't meet a reasonable threshold of weapon/equipment, boosts or level are not liked in gold lobby.
As I pointed out above in another post, how should they ever learn / know about it? The tooltip is misleading, just being level 18 is not sufficient.
Other factors are as important.Not that players who exceed every reasonable threshold are good team players btw ... without voice chat coordinated team play is more a game of chance.
