Do you mind when killer goes AFK or is friendly?

Hey, I thought I'd ask the DBD community in general what their views are on this.

I've had little time to play DBD lately, however I want to finish the Rift to get skins (a bit of FOMO). What is your attitude towards killers who are friendly or do something and then go AFK? For my ~2000 hours in DBD I never play a killer "for real", more to go AFK or do tasks like "hang x people". I think it's ok to play this way, because I also often have beginners who are just starting to play DBD and are not that experienced.

    Depends on the case really. If the killer is afk the whole game it's just boring, and sometimes frustrating because you barely get any BPs and don't even pip (sometimes not even safety pip).

    If the killer suddenly afks mid-game and it doesn't seem to be a ragequit I assume their doorbell rang or something so I don't mind, stuff happens and I've done it myself too

    As for friendly it depends on your definition I guess. Friendly killers that play normally but don't particularly sweat and play along with memes and funny moments are my absolute favorite, "friendly" killers who force you to farm are annoying and those who start farming because they're losing are the worst.

    I dont mind friendly killers, but I don't like afk killers at all. You shouldn't have put the two together.

    I am pretty friendly killer - especially if i get new players.

    But as surv i encountered i think 2 killers who were friendly in the last months. I haven´t seen an AFK for ages.

    But i have no problem with them as you get your points and escape.

    I am a friendly killer IF I'm just playing for bloodpoints. I max out both the Hunting and Deviousness categories, then try to hook everyone twice. I don't always make it obvious though. I like to let them think they won sometimes 😏 OR like earlier, I will accomplish my two hooks and signal to them to finish the generators. When I'm a Survivor, it can be a breath of fresh air as long as the killer is playing! We need to earn BP, XP, and pips.

    I don't mind friendly killers, but I don't really like AFK killers.

    I don't like either personally, I feel to get the full experience of this game is to just play, learn, test see what works, what doesn't, I don't like farming as it's boring, I don't mind when I get a message asking for help though if they are doing a mission. AFK Killers? What's the point in beginning a game then if it's an intentional AFK? I get life gets in the way and sometimes need to go AFk for reasons, when I and Mr Mushwin started this game was no nice Killers etc, we just got stuck into it and I know it's not for everyone of course.

    It's a nice break after getting tunneled half the time.

    There's a big difference between friendly and afk. Friendly we can have a fun game, all get points and pips and leave happy. Afk killers, you just have to tediously do generators, usually alone while other survivors run around the killer. Then you leave the map and get no points and no pips and feeling like you've wasted your time.

    Sometimes it's nice to have a friendly killer. AFK is annoying though because I lose pips from it.
