Slight concern about the upcoming anniversary event
Hello, I have a tiiny bit of a concern about the upcoming anniversary event, about the Masks' obtention conditions, so i though i'd share it in case someone out there is listening.
I rewatched the part of the live that talked about it to make sure I didn't misunderstand it, and the first host starts by talking about last's year event by saying this:
"Getting your hands on [the masks] was a little tricky. For killers you had to make it through your trial, for survivors you had to actually make it through the Exit Gates, so how have we improved things for this year?"
Then the second host explains the new invitation system before concluding: "To obtain your cosmetic you'll need to make sure that you are holding onto at least one charge by the time an exit opens."
Ngl my first thought was "Why did they acknowledge it was much harder for survivors to get the rewards if they didn't change anything about it?", because as far as I recall, opening the gates was already the requirement for survivors, they didn't actually need to leave the trial. Turns out there is a change: now the last survivor will automatically get it, as the hatch opening also counts.
Now, I'm not here to complain (much) about how it's still much harder for survivors to get it and I still don't understand why they can't simply get it if they die with an invitation that has enough charges, because let's face it there's already a bunch of challenges in the game and survivors don't mass kill themselves after getting their red glyph.If BHVR wants to die on this hill there's not much I can do about it.
However, I'm concerned at the fact that the last survivor automatically getting the reward will surely lead to many survivors just standing still and hiding waiting for everyone else to die. These days this is already a big problem in solo q and there are currently no rewards, so I'm quite concerned about what might happen with time-limited anniversary shiny cool looking masks on the line.
If BHVR is concerned enough about survivors killing themselves on hook after getting their reward to make it more complicated for everybody to get them, surely they should be worried about survivors dragging the game for 20 minutes (or more if there's multiple of them with the same strategy).
TLDR: The new addition of the hatch counting as an exit and therefore the last survivor automatically getting the reward will probably lead to even more survivors just hiding until everyone else dies.
(Also as I said, this is already an issue, please look into it and rework selfish perks that are only useful or reward you when your teammates are dead)

If you're following them around, recording them, submitting a ticket with the footage attached they might get banned.

This is the problem of survivor event rewards. Give them too easily, people will just kill themselfes the second they can't get any more (putrid serum), too hard and you can go a couple of games without getting one.

I always report them but i doubt anyone gets banned for this tbh, unless they're at least two and hiding in the basement together or something, where it's obvious they have no plan of advancing the game. When it's just one survivor doing nothing it's more complicated considering stealth is a strategy (maybe they're new, maybe they're scared & hiding...) and having to follow them, record and submit an entire game just to show they didn't touch gens is a lot of work tbh (and my computer simply can't handle it).
Yeah but honestly I'd rather they do either of those options (make it difficult or risk survivors killing themselves) than being stuck in 20min games bc survivors are waiting for the hatch. Last time I complained about getting the reward being difficult for survivors but I would asbolutely go through that pain again (or simply unlock them by playing killer) than having to deal with selfish useless survivors during the entire event..
