Slugging for the 4k IS NOT 'holding the game hostage' and reportable

So many killer justify this bad faith mechanic with 'we are supposed to kill.' Yes you are, but you are not entitled to them. You have to earn them.

Not mere whining… the scoring system of the game proves my point.

You get points for hooks and for kills. But, if you leave someone on the ground, and they bleed out, the killer does not get credit for the kill, and can LOSE points for it. By leaving the third person down while not taking any other action like chase, kicking a gen, snuffing a totem… then you are not 'playing the game.' I get wanting to 'lure' the last survivor out… but camping close enough for it to be a meaningful 'tactic' means the survivor, playing survivor, has ZERO game play reason to approach. You just want the free kill for stopping the game. Which is what you are actually doing.

    There are no "ifs" for slugging.

    You can cry about slugging for 4k in the feedback section as long as your narrative suggests to change that dynamic as a design/gameplay update.

    You are not entitled to escaping.

    Did not say I was. Which is why I did not propose anything like it.
    And not crying about anything. This is literally stopping the game.

    It's not actually, devs themselves said slugging isn't holding the game hostage.

    There's been lots of others before you with the same complaint and every single time it gets shot down few of them even had a mod response. Slugging for the 4k might be a bit scummy, but it's not a reportable offense or holding the game hostage.

    It's not because in the worst case scenario you'll bleed out within four minutes. I'm not saying it's a fun experience. Imo there should be something introduced to counter act this. Either a basekit Unbreakable that takes quite a while. Perhaps after being slugged for 60 seconds (or longer if that ends up being too fast) you can finish picking yourself up. Or an option to bleedout faster once there's only two survivors left.

    In short while it's not a fun experience the game isn't being held hostage.

    Whilst you might not like the behaviour - this is not holding the game hostage as survivors are on a bleedout timer and it's NOT reportable - please do not waste the time on our Support staff which is then delaying correct reports.

    (edited the title to reflect that none of this is reportable behaviour)

    Finally some common sense.

    Thank you.

    It's not reportable and I agree with that. However, I think it's unhealthy for the game. If there are two people left and the killer slugs for the 4K, the game should let you abandon without a penalty or allow you to pick yourself up. It's two people left, 3K is a winning game for killer.

    I don't see why someone has to wait on the ground doing nothing while someone sweats so hard. It's boring, so let them get up or leave.
