We're Gonna Live Forever
This is not a top priority issue but a change to this perk has been requested for years now. A couple of perks get tweaked nearly every patch (for example 4 perks are getting changed this update) so a change to this perk wouldn't be a hinder to any updates.
So here is the problem: The killer equivalent of this perk is Barbecue & Chilli, but compared to it WGLF lacks in many aspects. First of all, with B&C getting 4 stacks isn't a difficult task at all, unless you get a DC in your match you will most likely hook each survivor at least once. Its aura reading ability is also seen as strong by the community and I think most people would still use it even without the bloodpoint bonus. On the other hand, only function of WGLF is to give extra bloodpoints, but it's much more difficult to get stacks for. You either need flashlight saves, which mostly depends on the killers actions and not the survivors, or you need safe unhooks which can be messed up easily by either the killers or the hooked survivors actions.
What would be more fair is if WGLF also had a gameplay function that is strong on its own like B&C. B&C is also a good perk against tunneling/camping since it makes leaving the hook and going after other people more viable. WGLF could be used for something similar. Additionally, making protection hits or something else give stacks for this perk would make it easier to use and therefore make it more fair compared to B&C.
TLDR; We're Gonna Live Forever should get tweaked since it lacks compared to Barbecue & Chilli. This wouldn't be a priority issue since a bunch of perks get tweaked most patches anyways.

IMO If it were linked to generators, I think that could a be good concept. Survive to 1 gen left to get 4 stacks. Idk what other bonus it could get tho. Maybe slight sprint burst upon gen completion.

Protection hits already give stacks for WGLF.

You can be with a farming killer and still have trouble getting a protection hit to trigger. That scoring event is still broken as ever.

Every week I see a post about WGLF buff and I guess our request is being ignored :)

Yeah this has been the case for years. Im not gonna give up though, I really think this is an important change.
Oh right totally forgot about that. Then I take back the things I said about the difficulty.

I think it should have an aura detecting ability like BBQ has for survivors, but with survivors it would be just the opposite. Upon unhooking a survivor, a killer's aura would appear if they're within a certain radius from the hook. Maybe 10/15/20? Just a thought.

I made a post about it some weeks ago, saying this:
• 1 stack should also be earned every time you completely heal someone. This only applies if you heal someone from injured to healthy, so picking up a teammate on the ground does NOT earn you a stack.
This will alow more uses to the perk and don't even change the mechanic of it, because healing / helping your teammates to survive more also makes sense with the "we are going to live" thematic.
OR:
• After safe-unhooking a survivor or taking a protection hit, you can see other survivors' auras for X seconds.
This one is just a random idea to "counterpart" BBQ, but I honestly prefer the first one.
