Kick survivors who haven't moved or interacted with the game for 30 seconds

I've had survivors afk for the entire match and they aren't getting booted out of the game even with 3 birds that gets resetted when they are hooked. The 3 birds shows the location for the killer so they can kill that player, why punish the other survivors instead of kicking the afk player?

    I agree. Replace them with a bot, then of course the following dc penalty.

    30 seconds is quite low. How long does it take for the third idle crow to show up? Maybe kick them at that time instead.

    Also, would this apply to Survivors who are slugged? Even when they're crawling around, they still get the crows. Should they be kicked and punished with the DC penalty as well? That's just unfair.

    imagine: killer slugs you for 4 minutes to get 4k, but instead of alt+tab you have to keep moving around

    Ah yes, because having to run real quick because real life intervenes I'm forced to take a DC penalty? It's bad enough that the Engine update made the server crash happen at least once every two days (amongst countless other issues) now people couldn't even go in a locker (if available) or go afk for a bit to do their thing and come back.

    30 seconds is nowhere near enough. The idle crows are already fine, with the extreme popularity of slugging for 4 minutes (which triggers crows for some reason and tbh it shouldn't even exist when everyone is slugged/only 2 Survivors remain) then people would trigger the timer non-stop.

    Killers have that kind of "afk timer" because the whole trial is basically over if the Killer decides to try to circumvent the DC penalty by going afk, one Survivor idling for a bit before coming back won't end the game.
