A Newcomer's Perspective

I happily found DbD via an Xbox gold offer months back. It is infinitely more fun and more of a challenge than the only previous assymetrical horror survival I'd played, Friday the 13th. At this point, I can claim to be, at best, an intermediate beginner, having played mostly Meg and being tragically incompetent with the killers I've tried, despite the videos I continue to watch for tips for improvement. Since joining the community, I have constantly read both sides of the arguments regarding survivors/killers being either too op or too nerfed and/or it being too easy to kill or escape. I can't be the only newish person for whom both escaping and making a sac is still a challenge, as I continue to try to improve both, which is all mostly a matter of logging the time necessary to gain experience. As I pursue that, I am taken aback regularly at just how petulantly toxic and obnoxious some obviously very experienced players have become, no doubt from frustration with issues and changes in the game. I understand that level of disgust with a loved game, but never have I allowed it to justify trying to drive people from the game. To all the super-toxic people who have played for the past 4 years, please, for the love of the Entity, take a break, find a new game, or find some other outlet. If you truly love the game, and you qualify as one of the aforementioned, stop being so blatantly obnoxious to those of us who are new to it and trying to enjoy it as much as you claim to have in the past.
