How to deal with people who are just hiding and not doing generators?
We have been here for an hour and they still won't do generators. I tried finding them but they just wont play the game. What should I do? I don't have whispers or any tracking perks. The 2 players won't let me progress the game. (PS. Im still the game while I am typing this discussion)

Check every single locker possible, start with the basement.
Place your dream snares on all the clocks so they can't wake up without help from one another. Check the edges of the map they could be hiding in the corners.
Pay extra attention to flying crows.

Best thing to do is always record your games. So if something reportable happen you have a video proof. If nothing happen just go to your folder and delete the video file and move on to next game.
If it's truly over 20 min of not touching any gens and just hiding, next time sent the video to the support via a ticket AND don't forget to also report them INGAME via the Report button on the scoreboard.

I just finished the game. I didnt record the whole game sadly. But I was able to record a part of it. But it was somehow evident that they are not doing the generators at all. Thank you for your responses tho. Sadly I wasn't able to report them because my potato pc crashed. It can't handle the game plus the recording.

The OP is playing Hag, not Freddy.
Should be easy to find them on Hag. Place 1-2 traps around the basement, and then just place random traps around the edge of the map. One of them will eventually step in one of them.

hope you at least got your 4k. It's a shame when survivors take the game hostage instead of doing their objective.

Pretty sure this is what's mean when people say 'taking the game hostage' which is a reportable offence.
No idea why people do this - they surely are not having much of a fun game themselves, though I guess the mentality of the type of person who does this probably means they are considering it 'fun'.
If that happened to me I would be tempted to just leave them to it and go off and do something else for half an hour until they eventually quit. Waste their time the way they are trying to waste yours.

Its not a "taking the game hostage" situation cause the game could end if the killer finds the survivors. This whole hiding thing is pretty annoying but not banable.
Taking the game hostage would be like a killer trapping the last survivors in a dead end so without him moving or the survs disconnecting the game would go on forever.

Oh OK I see what you mean - but it's still really poor behaviour. You are deliberately ignoring the primary objective of the game with the sole purpose of what, making it go on for much longer than it needs to? I think that's more than just annoying.

If both survivors refuse to progress the game (gens) it actually is a case of taking the game hostage.
but I don’t think it is well defined and will be determined for every case individually. And of course proper report and proof in form of video footage is necessary which I assume doesn’t actually happen in over 90 % of those cases because this report system isn’t very user friendly..

it is very poor behaviour just wasting someones time because they cant accept defeat.
But if i remember correctly "refusing to participate in normal gameplay" is indeed a banable offense and would be more accurate in this scenario i think.

I don't think some of you guys are getting the point here. Today I just played another game where the whole squad decided to not do generators and just hide the whole game. They didn't even bother touching the generators. This is a problem that needs to be fixed before every troll tries to abuse it. I have proof of the game where they just hid and didn't do generators. I finished the game with no generators done. I killed everybody but its very unsatisfying.
