MONSTER!
I think there is a large issue of people not checking what theirs says at the moment though.
I might change mine to no WWE characters…
Be nice to all the noobs out there…

Had a host that kept on saying “Mac vklad” on the chat only for Mac to reply back with “???” and the next thing you know he got kicked out of the game. I did google translation and the host was saying “Mac deposit” in Czech

You mean you don’t understand the MIGHTY CZECH language? How uneducated are you?! 
Nope
Their lobby, their rules. Let 'em enjoy the game how they want to and find a different lobby. Or better yet, make one. That’s been my philosophy.
Plus I agree with @Watery_shoe, it’s a much better horde experience when everyone plays different classes and characters. When there are duplicate characters it’s so much harder to keep track of who is who and what super is popping when. A character change shouldn’t be that hard. We can pick (almost) literally anyone we want.

Level 19+? A little crazy don’t you think?

Though for most classes, getting to lvl.16 gets you all the cards you need, and the daily and weekly challenges in Horde and Escape get you tons of cards quick, so I agree, 19 is kind of really unnecessary.

Yeah I know.
Just voicing my thoughts. I will just make sure not to join that lobby.

I used to have Master set at Lv. 16+.
Now with Operation 5, some classes have skill cards that unlocks at level 19. I want to make sure they have every skill card at their disposal.
And if RNJesus is on your side, you’d have enough duplicates of your other skill cards to get them up to Lv 5 or 6 by Lv 19.
Okay, someone doesn’t want to put some effort into it…
I resent people that make the lobby name a list of rules, I understand why they do it but it just comes off as arrogant and condescending. I always title mine something silly like “Gears of Woke” or “Bring Back the Breechshot”.
With that said I feel this though, I hate it when low levels join high difficulties… Like what do you think your level 1 score boost card is going to do for us on master?

I think using class level is a flawed benchmark. I understand why people do it. It does in theory suggest someone has made an effort to level up. And obviously when people are in low digits they deserve an insta-boot for insane and above because they won’t have unlocked all the cards and certainly won’t have levelled them up.
The problem though is that because of boost and also now because of the 4-6 XP events, you can have high class level characters with low level cards. I have a level 16 veteran, nomad and anchor, and they all only have level 2-3 cards. Why? Because I grinded out Surge Escape runs on a 6xp weekend. I would be utterly useless in an insane horde frenzy with those classes, but I would avoid booting because you cannot tell what cards people are running. Meanwhile there might be a level 10 class with level 4-5 cards because they ran no boost or didnt play on xp weekends, that can contribute more than me but they get kicked because they are judged by their class level.

I joined someone’s lobby for a master game recently on Ice Queen where the host and a friend were levels 13 and 16 or something relatively low (Fahz and Mac respectively) and I initially thought “Oh God this isn’t going to end well…” but they actually played really well and we smashed it. And Ice Queen is generally considered by most players to be in the top 5 hardest hives.
Ice Queen is a lot easier when players know how to either take out the Snipers before they become a threat or without getting shot by them and you have a designated CQC role for Grenadiers and Wardens. As well as players knowing the map layout and having a player going ahead to trigger certain spawns like the Dropshot Scion with Poppers in the first act where they can be used as friendly fire bombs, rather than waiting for everyone and having to push down the enemies while the Scion is alive and you have the lethal venom on your necks and Poppers are closing in.
Yeah but that’s like saying that something is easy when you become experienced or good at it. 
Can we not call it easy for those experienced players then?
I personally have been playing Ice Queen alot in the last 2 months and it’s fairly straight forward nowadays. My first completion on master took lots of attempts - probably around 4-5 hours with randomers and this was back in Operation 2. But even so, it’s still one of the harder hives overall in my opinion. It’s just that the two guys I was with were levels 13 and 16, but they handled themselves really well - better than alot of level 18+ players I’ve played with and it goes to show that there are some cases (probably rare!) where the level of characters is not representative of their ability! Also, while I played well for this run I would say that I didn’t have to carry them - they held their own.
You resent people for wanting to run the lobby a certain way, and they’re upfront about it?
I prefer to skip all waves because horde is long enough as it is and try to beat it as fast as possible.
I put my title upfront so people understand the type of lobby goin on.
I can’t stand when I join lobbies that have simple titles just so the host pauses and begs for energy or doesn’t protect the taps.

We need extra Kestrel and extra Matriarch mutators! We need them now! 
I get what you’re saying… Resent is probably too strong a word, but it’s just a pet peeve of mine.
I guess I just think that there should be an actual description for lobbies so they don’t have to make it the title.
Either that or let the host set up restrictions so it isn’t a kick fest.
It’s fair to be annoyed with lobbies that don’t live up to your expectations, I just personally think that having “rules” (which are easily defied) in your title is silly.
Although now that I think about it having a lobby title is silly too since people don’t give two ■■■■■ about them, that’s mainly why I just make a joke out of mine.
Mod edit: Please don’t go around censor.
