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!...

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.

This is what I had and got booted from the lobby. I have the biotic gear on my character + the carnifex. The only thing I could guess at was they booted me because my apex rating is only 2k. I have no way of knowing because despite having mics none of them spoke.
Sometimes you can be booted simply because some group wants to play with their friend that just joined their discord channel. It's not necessarily personal. The polite way for that to happen is for the host to disband the lobby and start a new one, but sometimes they just boot the one non-friend. Just move on and don't worry about it, unless you are doing something that is regularly getting you booted.
