Complaints about Playstyle

On recent matches some survivors decided to complain about how i was playing, call me names and also "false report" me.

Im a killer main and i was obligated to play survivor because of this event so i could actually go into a match in less than 30 minutes and also get the serum, because i have no interest in the BORING and EASY survivors gameplay of repairing gens and escaping as soon as possible, i decided to just fill up my vial by using MY OFFERING, suicide and repeat the process.

This way i can get the serum way quicker and doesnt get too bored of playing survivor, but then i got matched with a CWF who all DCed at same time after my suicide on the hook just to trash talk on me and say that i was getting reported for whatever reason.

Im not a survivor main and i literally dont give a ######### about what happens with any of you about my death, if im being obligated to play survivor i'll play the way i want to, suiciding on the hook is not reportable and im sure that only playing for the serum isnt either, but DCing like a BABY is, so u have to GIT GUD and stop crying!

This was a message for any survivor main out there that thinks that everyone else in the match should play the same way they do...Anyways, i'd like to hear your thoughts about that.

    @Bug_Reporter BHVR has said that doing this in the way that you are doing it, and for the reasons that you have given, is a violation of the EULA. However, they also said that is is almost impossible to prove, so they can’t do anything about it. You are harming the other survivors by removing yourself from the intended gameplay, making their gameplay suffer, which is the violation that they are referring to.

    If you're on console just say you dropped your controller.

    Im playing as intended, the objective here during the event is to get Serum, i get all the needed serum, die (which is a possible fate inside the game) and then look for another match, devs stated at streams that if u dont wanna play just die on the hook, u shouldnt DC, but suiciding on a hook is not an offese at all, its part of the game.

    Also at the game page u can clearely see that working together or helping anyone AT ALL is a matter of CHOICE, u can play by youself, throw survivors in front of the killer, u can do anything in order to survive a little longer, as long as that doesnt include glitchs and bug abuses.

    No, the objective of the game for survivors is to ESCAPE, where getting the Serum is OPTIONAL. So Kaelum is right, by playing the way you did you were indeed harming the survivors chances of escaping. Why? That should be obvious when I now remind you that the game is balanced around being 4v1, so if just one leave or let him/herself be sacrificed, then it's going to suddenly be 3v1, who all have to perform that much better to actually escape.

    With the part about the devs saying if people don't want to play they should suicide rather than DC, is just bad. If one doesn't want to play, then DON'T COMMIT to a match. It's that simple. Also, it's much harder to actually to survive the trial and still get the putrid nectar, because the game was balanced around doing primary objectives for both sides. So when one side suddenly has to split the focus between either doing the primary or doing the secondary non-essential activities in the game, it wrecks the intended balance. Personally I play mainly killer, and the survivor matches I've played during this event have been bad because people just focus on getting the nectar instead of the objectives. Not only that, many just suicide first chance they get, which just means people have to do more matches to actually get the serum because they lose some of the harvested unless they have a full vial.

    This is something that the devs need to clarify, as they have made statements in both directions. The latest statements from the CMs in these forums is that it is abuse, and they are not sure how to track it at this time. Though video evidence would suffice.

    Also at the game page u can clearely see that working together or helping anyone AT ALL is a matter of CHOICE, u can play by youself, throw survivors in front of the killer, u can do anything in order to survive a little longer, as long as that doesnt include glitchs and bug abuses.

    This is not accurate. The willful act of hurting someone else’s gameplay for the purpose of causing them harm, is excluded, and is bannable.  But go ahead and do it. When you get banned, you can’t say that you weren't informed.
