I wish these problems got solved in 6th year.
First of all, I don't have much expectation toward BHVR.
I don't play often as I used to. But truly hope DbD to be more successful.
And not become how Deathgarden became.
1) Hacker / Cheater problems
Most players in this forum, maybe all have experiences with hackers at least once.
There are hackers using cheat program so obvious and also subtle hackers who use cheats but hide so others can't recognize.
I remember one of forum mods mentioned this issue is hard to fix as cheaters keep trying to update their programs.
But BHVR, you really should be firm about this and care more.
Aren't you ashamed of how this game is gaining more and more cheaters as more updates are coming?
2) Report system
Not gonna lie, I've never seen poor report system in other games.
This game's report system is just a joke.
Game result screen reporting?
How do I notice if any penalties were done to someone I reported?
Submit a request? This takes so long and players need screenshot or clips for fast process.
This game's report system is so uncomfortable that nearly makes me think it's just a waste of time.
3) Bloodpoint grind
(I know this was mentioned in last dev stream)
I'd like to mentioned 2 things.
Grinding BP for teachable perks. And prestige system.
1st case is literally nightmare for beginners.
I don't think 100hrs is enough time to gain all teachable perks. Which sounds ridiculous to me.
Every guides I've seen for beginners are like "Use this perk".
Next beginners look for ways to gain more BP.
Then they feel overwhelmed for how many BP they need to get perks people recommend using.
Use BBQ? Use WGLF? No, just spend lots of time for precious BP.
Using BP offering and those 2 perks definitely help some but I think it's too much stress for beginners.
2nd, prestige system.
Personally I haven't done any prestige at all because I am not in favor of bloody outfis or marks.
But leveling any character 50 and lose everything after 'every' prestige seems too harsh.
Losing all perks, items (survivor), addons, offerings..
I mean, I get if there's other advantages for prestige but losing everything after prestige doesn't seem fair with bloody outfit and prestige mark.
4) Some QoL changes
I've thought and remember seeing other mention:
Perk search system with letter. Perk loadout save slots. Watching replay. Experiencing certain maps by alone.
I think these are good ideas and would be glad to see.
5) Balance (solo que, swf, map, perk, balance between killers, certain killers, matchmaking etc)
I know this game is never gonna be balanced.
However, care this issue seriously and don't delay and ignore these issue PLEASE.
Even if forums say "Do this" "Change that" or Reddit or other community does, BHVR, you are the only who makes decisions.
There are so many bad balance aspects in DbD for both and maps, even matchmaking.
I am starting to think your poor and late decisions only worsen playerbase and cause more disputes only with hate.
Listen and communicate with community and make fast and right changes.
I'm neither taking side for Survivor or Killer.

Like you I'm not expecting much from them either. Every Q&A stream always sees the same questions get asked, and yet they still don't do anything about it. For example, players clearly want bots in the game as a way to practice. The code is clearly there as hackers are taking advantage of it, so why can't that be available for players? Hell you can play with a team of AI controlled survivors in the new Evil Dead game, and considering everything that you can do in that game, you're telling me you can't create bots to do simple tasks in DBD like work on generators and unhook teammates?
The new Evil Dead game is a perfect example of what a 4v1 asymmetrical game should be. It's a hell of a lot of fun, and much more approachable for newer players. Going back to DBD to just do generators seems really boring now.

the sabo hacks are absolutely out of control.
I dont think people realize how often its in your matches. I record all my matches unless I forget to hit hotkey, but I rewatch them sometimes and surprised by what I dont notice in the game,.... like... "wait, did that Claudette really just sabo two hooks while I was carrying this person?"
If you hear hooks being saboed PAY ATTENTION
