Other Players Don't Owe You Anything

Really trying to figure out the mindset where people think others players owe them something. Just had a match where a survivor pulled me off the hook the moment I got put on it. The killer immediately hit me and hung me again. The killer didn't even attempt to go after the other survivor. They just stood right there camping me. The same survivor came running back a few second later to try and throw me under the bus again.

I just died on the hook. I let the jerk that was going to throw me under the bus a second time become the target.

A few minutes later the killer messages me and tells me I should have allowed myself to be unhooked and hung the third time because I cost him some sort of objective he was going after.

The survivor that pulled me off the hook the first time wasn't breaking any rules. They had the right to do what they did. They even had the right to try to do it a second time. The killer had the right to take me down the second time and hang me again. They had the right to stand right there and camp me. None of that is against the rules.

Here's the thing though. If I choose to allow myself to die on that second hook I'm not breaking any rules either. If a survivor and a killer want to play that way they are free to knock themselves out, but to presume that I or anyone else has an obligation to allow ourselves to be thrown under the bus for you to get points or meet an objective is ludicrous. I will actively and intentionally make sure that people in that situation do not take advantage of me a second time in the same match.

    I think the idea of someone having to "owe" you for you to not be an ass is just a lazy excuse for asses to ass it up.

    That said, clearly if you're being put into a dumb situation where some idiot is farming you, no one's actively trying to actually help you, get yourself the hell outta there. And the killer's complaint in this situation is completely absurd.
