BHVR's stance on involuntary BP farming?

Just got out of yet another game where I was used as a BP farm against my will. Stuck in a loop between dying and injured. With the DC penalties I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place. What's BHVR's actual stance on this? There must be a reason that so many players see no problem with this.

    in any pvp game, you are used as a farm against your will, whether its for xp money honor or in this case bp, I don't understand your point.

    It's against the rules (taking the game hostage) and reportable.

    @zakazan I'm talking about games where killer and survivors stop playing topwards the objective and just do actions to farm bloodpoints. In my case: killer downs me, another survivor revives. The killer then downs me again and the cycle repeats itself. I do not bleed out and I cannot really do anything to break the cycle.

    @tippy2k2 But this means I have to record the ocurrence, right? My computer doesn't have the juice for that.

    Yup, unfortunately.

    You could just use your phone or something to record it. Doesn't have to be pretty as long as you get video proof (which still baffles me, how da fuq does BHVR not have at least data from each game that would demonstrate someone clearly farming like that?).

    Oof. I remember going against a ghostface who was camping me. This Nea came for what I thought was the rescue. Instead, she pulled me off, blocked me from leaving, he downed me and put me back on the hook. Then Nea pulled me off, and he did it again. This repeated once more. I spectated afterward, and saw her lead him to the other survivors. Never have I regretted not bringing DS more than that time.

    DS would have done nothing at all. All you can do is record, report and open a ticket. It sucks, and honestly that is asking too much out of most people's hardware, but this community is so toxic that a hundred reports on the same person for the same behaviour isn't enough to have any repercussions. Why? Because there an equally good chance that all those reports are faked by toxic shitheads. I kind of want to know how many reports I've had against me.

    That being said, this time last year my endgame chats were usually along the lines of 'go drown yourself in a bucket of frog shite' and now it's mostly 'gg, it was awesome when you (INSERT PLAY)' 'hey, ggs <3' so I'm super confused. Still get the bad ones, but they are legit rarer. It's so wierd.

    I really dislike farming in general. One of the reasons I wish the grind would go away is so BP events would go away. I don't like it when survivors try to force into farming or being the bad guy.
