I love putting my guys in, and then watch a bunch of lvl 1's get involved when the other side has already filled half their rank with much higher players.
I know you want to get your guys out there, but look at the missions before you choose them or you are asking for a loss, and dragging your teammates with you.

So... basically, you're fustrated that people are playing the game, and not playing it as much, or for as long, as you are. Two things wrong with this. You could either not join the cross level missions that go below your level, and then be doing the same thing you're complaining about. But, maybe these are the only missions showing for you... Maybe they're the only missions showing for them too.

Not at all AZ, and thanks for misunderstanding enough that I need to explain further. In fact I'm glad to see that people are actually playing, and I'm happy to help newer players, I just wish that some players where looking at missions and seeing what is already happening before they blindly click in.
In the case of the 1-11 mission that is available for example, I have seen times when the autobots already have a lvl 5, a few lvl 4 maybe a single lvl 1, where the top 'cons are Lvl 4 or 3, and after the autobot 5 has joined 2-4 lvl 1 cons all jump in. The rewards for winning that mission may be great if you are on the winning side, but for those players they could do better with joining lvl1-2 or 1-3 missions. In missions with larger lvl ranges is is very easy for the battle to be tipped on the inclution of 1 or 2 players at either end of the lvl range.
As for my joining them, I do and will continue to, because if I can help raise the chances for my side I will. This isn't a matter of being better, (which i'm not) or playing longer than others, It's a matter of wanting my side to perform better and not throw missions that can be won, simply because the reward (which only comes if you win) is better than the missions open to higher bots, and players looking more at that than who else is going into the fight.
Of course I completely agree with you on the matter of what missions are available, and that is something none of us have any control over. however this is something i have noticed when there are plenty of missions showing as well, and maybe I don't see exactly what they see, but It does happen when there are choices available.

If it's that much of a problem we just need to coerce the newer players to ask for help with the configs and make the more experianced players more accessible to them.

I honestly think the bots problems aren't from configs. Most of the time when there are missions with 3 cons and no bots, there are about 8-15 bots (from 5 or more different teams) waiting in the arena, when they could fill the missions and outnumber the cons.

Probably would help if we could get the forums going again, and bring people back. Maybe someone could news something, or get something into the HMW header with the quotes/last 24 hours bot vs con things.

I see more 1, 1-2, and 1-3 than 1-11, but that's just me. Meh..

1-3 or 1-11 hardly any 1-2.
I would like to see more 1-2 missions and the return of 0-1 missions
