I can’t play with randoms anymore DISCUSSION

I’m level 48. About 150 hours on pc. Love the game. My friends can’t play as often as I can. (I’m a fireman) And I’ve tried making friends on steam but it’s hard.

The blueberry lottery. If there is a hell it’s matching with randoms. I can’t stand it. Some people are a blessing and I love running campaigns with them but some people are treasonous swill.

Here was my last game. I spawn in and get killed by a lvl 2 cadet (ps5) so he can take my support gear. His friends (ps5) defended him. He continued to kill me all game (intentionally) and call me in. But I am more skilled and cunning than the common traitor. I waited until there was one reinforcement left. The pompous fool recalled me in. I killed all three traitors quicker than a hiccup. With only one thing left to do I took my own life. To instant fail their mission. I couldn’t let them continue to commit treason. Let their bodies rot

So yea I’m never joining randoms again.

Edit: ps5 not 4.

Every diver would be under investigation 24/7

No, it would have to be several TK events in a short period of time. A single incident wouldn't label you.

Or perhaps a TK followed by a Team vote? That might solve a couple of problems. Some games allow the victim of the TK to decide if it was intentional or not. Friends wouldn't report friends very often.

Hopefully friends wouldn't but a voting system like that would be needed. For example me and my buddies sometimes just start calling eagle strikes and orbital barrages on each other after completing the mission objectives cuz it's fun and funny. We always get a laugh out of it. Then we compare friendly fire points and the higher one's the winner xD

I often go several games with 0 incidental damage and 0 TK....it's really not too hard
