Looking for players to get me to platinum

Most of the matches i play in platinum are successful, I'm just tired of camping crates in Rio. If it looks like a bad lobby(bad classes and weapons) ill generally try another

I stand by my statement killopolly. I will stick to playing with friends, you can stick to randoms. I care not to waste my equipment on people that I dont know or care about. I will go out of my way to pick up my friend as they would for me. Your not going
to get that kind of devotion in random rooms. Plus in random rooms you will find people who's ego is out of control and they go out to the field and run around like idiots thinking they would stay on their feet longer than 30 seconds.

I had my first platinum extraction tonight. Gold is a solid test of my skill level so I usually don't try platinum. This is maybe the fourth or fifth time I've tried it. I finished second on the scoreboard w/ a run of the mill Asari Adept, armed w/ Arc
Pistol X.

Geth Juggernaut really came in handy for banshees and phantoms and a volus healer dude armed with the Skorpion finished 1st. The other dude was a human sentinel who setup some decent biotic combos w/ me. All randoms.

I also didn't really bring any special equipment into the match except the commando gear package. I never really use the equipment power-ups.

Based on my experience, i dont know what you two are talking about. My success rate is more than 85% Id say with the groups i have, not just on Rio. Ive seen maybe a couple people try to join games on platinum with under level 15s, and with bad gear. They
were kicked by everyone almost immediately.

The Dlc seems to be making things easier, with more classes that seem to be effective on platinum. most of the lobbys i start or end up in have at least 1-2 characters from the new dlc, and from what ive seen perform better on average(less dying, more points/damage)
than most classes.

I play on Platinum with 3 other people that I know. I would never jump in with randoms my god. I salute you for your ready to drop all equipment mentality towards randoms. You are more brave than I.
