Borrowed Time needs a rework?

Farming is real (WGLF Davids, I'm looking at you). Just got farmed by an a-hole with Borrowed Time and WGLF, i.e. unhooked right after being hooked in the killer's face when he is literally 4 feet away. And the killer was classy enough to go after me twice instead of the toxic little cu*t. He continued to do this to other players as well. Is there no penalty at all for this behavior right now? I can understand how useful BT can be if used right, i.e. against campers or when exits are done etc but it is so easy to abuse and such. If the perk is intended to be used against campers, I believe it should work that way as well i.e. Only after the killer has continued to stay within 16 meters for 15 secs, BT activates. Any thoughts?

    I think BT is fine. It's not BT that's ######### you over, it's the player.

    Even if it is the player, a proper mechanism in game allows him to be that way which isn't healthy.

    At least you have BT to try and escape, but someone that's going to farm is going to do it with BT or not.

    @steezo_de There is emblem penalty for farming and WGLF is gonna be changed too from what I heard. i.e. gonna work same way as emblems. But BT negates that and rewards toxic play. And regarding "try and escape", its great if exits are done. I'm talking about when there is 3 gens left and killer is right there. Even if you can loop him a bit, the dying state count down kicks in. Anyway, if you think BT in its current form is fine, we will leave it at that. Would like to know what others think as well.

    It could be worse. David could farm you without BT.

    I'm not a survivor main but I'm sure you don't "farm" without WGLF. That perk is going to be penalized for unsafe unhooks just like emblems while BT lets you ignore that which is my point. And this could also help killers who doesn't camp (32 m terror radius is quite large to camp) but get fu*d over by BT once exits are done.

    Where did i say farm without WGLF?
    BT makes unsafe unhooks safe. You haven´t seen how it was before it´s rework. Everyone used it, because both the unhooked and the unhooking survivor got protected by it.
    That was much worse.

    @Tsulan You didn't. Read my reply once again. I just meant there is no farming without WGLF and its going to be nerfed for unsafe unhooks while BT lets you ignore all those penalties. If I'm not wrong BT was meant to be an anti-camper perk so why not make it work that way.

    People even farm without WGLF. If just makes it more worthwile.
    Camping is not a problem. Camping is just a secondary effect of killers not feeling like they have the power role. If killers were actually powerful, and survivors would have additional objectives instead of being able to repair all 5 gens in 3 minutes or less. Then there would be considerable less camping.

    So.. Instead of changing WGLF.. you want to nerf BT.
    I don't know how to break it to you, but farmers are gonna farm.
    And how is this a camping problem when this moron is the one unhooking before the killer can even move away?

    It is an anti camper perk , David just sandbagged you. I know it sucks but if you had a better teammate it wouldn’t be a problem and there is actually a report section post game for those who farm you in the way you’re talking and purposely screwing you over. If it’s obvious it was intentional they could earn a soft ban

    Sounds more like you are requesting a WGLF rework.

    Can we bring WGLF back to it's original status? I mean that was really funny back then.
