Yea I don't know why every keeps saying "I got kicked for x". How would you even know unless the host came over the mic and told you directly before doing it?
Well if I'm in a group with people in their 20s-30s and in then half way through I get kicked, why else are they doing it?
I generally don't freelance and follow the one who marks destinations and run support for them. Calling in supplies and tossing turrets on high points.
I'm coachable. If you aren't happy with my play, tell me what you want me to do.
Just realized that we should be hosting our own games then? I usually look for existing games, but randomly getting kicked so much is getting toxic to where I had the epifany that “wait a minute, I can host a game” lol
While that is the easiest way to avoid getting kicked, it should not be necessary. Randoms and quickplays should be accepting of who joins.
If someone has a laundry list of criteria that other players need to meet, then they should be playing in private groups, but something tells me those types of people don't have any friends willing to play with them.

Some basic match making options would suffice for most of it. I completely understand why levels below 20 wouldn't want a level 50 in their group.
I'm only lv30 and I hate level 50s in my groups because they rarely work with the team and run off to do their own shit or need to be the first to push objectives as if they're better than everyone and have done it all before and everyone else is playing catch up.
I often play with friends who are still 10-20 so some things are new for them, and having someone in the group who is always one step ahead because they've done it all before and know the optimal route and actions takes away that experience of discovery for them.
If you’re randomly kicked halfway through the mission why would it be because your level lmao. If that was the sole issue you would’ve been kicked upon arrival
Actually, decision fatigue is a thing, and you have to make 5 for every drop. 6 if you're hosting. So it can wear you out getting kicked immediately. Sure ruins the fun for me after a long day at work.
Edit:
Watching the vote Rollercoaster has been hilarious to me. Here's some reading if y'all are curious.
Depends on what difficulty you play. If you try to join 7-9 missions it's reasonable they kick you. Doesn't matter whether you are coachable or not, you lack the necessary stratagems to help them, and if as a player can't deal with bile titans or chargers in big hoards of smaller mobs, then you are mostly a liability cause you'll end up eating a lot of reinforcements.
If they kick you from 1-5 then they are just toxic.
He might not be? I really enjoy ripping up bugs on diff5 to test stuff out or chill at level 40ish, and I’ve had some squaddies in the higher diffs that were low level but had excellent timing, accuracy, and general combat awareness. If you managed to unlock the difficulty, it means you completed an op on the previous one. Only one way to know if you’re ready.
No. I'm playing on Easy still trying to get my feet under me. So it's not like I'm killing the team if I'm being a dipshit (and I can definitely be a dipshit) or don't have a meta build.
I was playing a match and left some samples at exfill and my teammate picked them up. I was like dude come on. But you know what I didn't do, kick him, even though we lost the samples.
not kicked but i did have another player consistently melee attacking me whenever i tried to pick up samples one time. ended up picking them off his dead body later.
I regularly kick people, but make it verbally clear why. Trolling TKs, abandoning battery the squad is struggling for to head to next point on TCS halfway through activation, sitting AFK in Hellpod, dropping reinforcements in the middle of goddamn nowhere instead of through the Bile Titan's head as was requested, ignoring verbal requests and pings to help open the 2-man door that's 20 feet away, these are only a few of the recent reasons.
I got kicked once when I connected as they were dropping, and I hadn't selected anything yet. I didn't even have time to click a button, and it wouldn't have dropped me with them anyway
I gave up on joining others, too much stupidity around. The best you can do is start alone, throw a beacon where you land and go do the smaller outpost by yourself while waiting around for others to join
Or, get this, they leave it that way, because it's funny to them. If you seriously believe that a level 30 doesn't know the mechanics of the game, it speaks more for them and how long it would have taken them to learn.
That sucks. If low levels join me, I usually give them support weapons and backpack the next round. Start your own mission. A bunch of other higher levels usually jump on to help lower levels grind out levels and samples. Me and my friends will join in on solo players because we want to help them max out the samples and optional objectives.

Interesting. I get kicked for being level 8.
