Pipping mechanics needs to be changed.
Grades are not ranks and do not affect matchmaking so depip mechanic is outdated and should be changed immediatelly. It's so frustating for players to depip when they work hard and do everything they can but it's not enough.
Some even can't play the game because of this mechanic and how much frustation it causes. Depip standards should be lowered and even removing the mechanic would be fine. Only really AFK or dc:ing players should be punished by it.
Also pipping needs changing escape and 3 kills or more should be automatic pip as you completed your objective but crazy thing is you can still depip doing so because you did your objective too well. At least these should be automatic safety pip.

People have been asking for the de-pips to be removed or reserved only for DC's for a long time. Can't say I blame them. I would be ok if pipping was kept and de-pipping removed. It's a lot less stress and when you pip even if you died it also feels like the game acknowledges you did well, which should stay.
If you remove pips then it will feel worse when you die than it currently does (when you pip that is).

this would also mean, you could fool around all game and annoy the Killer and other survivors and still get 2mill free bps at end of month

Kinda true.
At least it motivates players do different stuff and not just try to cheese through the match, be it hiding for 5 gens or tunneling and camping everyone.

The real issue is that the score does not reflect the final condition of the match at all.
let say survivors misplayed and they want to give up, well killer don't want to even so much as hit them to hook them because that would be a depip for killers, since killing of first hook is "such a no-no"
its ridiculous, a 4k or 4 people escape should ALWAYS be rewarded by a 2 pips or nearly always.

You could do that now as well. Why players who want to fool around would care about pipping anyway? You can reach red grade 1 in swf about week so even now you could fool around 3 weeks if you want without any consequences.
Not to mention pipping is even worser for killers you likely depip with weak killer if you face strong team. Best way to pip is to tunnel someone out and then spread hooks which is not most enjoyable way to play.
