I don't wanna be negative but that new autoban system is worrying.

I don't trust it at all. Knowing the community it's going to be really abused because of how petty and selfish we can be. Imagine in a swf everyone reports the killer for camping pr tunneling or if the killer reports every survivor for using hatch or key or flash light blinding them.

I'm all for them limiting and reducing toxicity but this seems like it can bring about more toxicity. What do you think?

    I can't wait for it, I trust that it'll be fine and work as intended.

    ahem

    We have no information about how it's going to work. Don't panic until they release the actual details of the system.

    Yes, we need someone to give us details because for now, it seems like very weird.

    You should know at this point that names mean nothing to BHVR. They haven't described any details about it, and there's really nothing to worry about (because there's nothing we know).

    Yep and everyone's still going to support it because well I don't know why

    Can someone tell me what they have done to the reporting system? I haven't been able to see the live 😥

    Welp, playing killer will result in players being banned under a system like they described.

    Hmm if this is the case then. The devs better be watching

    Camping and Tunneling should not be a 'thing to get used to'. they are never necessary, they are just ego-wanking from skillless braggarts and are only still there because it's fiddly to get the game mechanics to punish them directly.

    They are never valid tactics. I am a rank 3 killer and have never had to do either of those things yet I can still consistently get 3ks. Unlike most killer players I don’t expect a 4K every match since a normal game should be 2 escapes and 2 deaths.

    there isn't a single occasion where they'd be valid. or are you going to lose a vital organ if you don't win every match?

    I think it'll be fine, from how they described it, if you get enough down votes, the team will then look into that player. As long as the team are good with their reviews, there shouldn't be much of an issue.

    My vision on this ban system is that it's more like a DC penalty if you get consistent enough reports. Because lets be honest, people who will report 90% of the players they play against will obviously not weigh as much as players who only report once every 20 matches.

    The system will definitely start ignoring spammers. Let alone that it will definitely compare you to the average player in terms of reports and it will look at the timespan between games.

    It's not like this system will be using player input to actively ban people, it will use player input to help filter.

    That would be an ideal system. I imagine the report system, currently, is a mess of reports that shouldn't be made (like a cheating report on an all-seeing Wraith from someone who doesn't notice/understand the add-on for example) mixed in with reports that actually should be made (and we won't go into the uselessness of console reporting). If someone has been manually having to go through ALL of those, anything that can free up that time would be a good idea.

    If there's not a real person reviewing reports during some part of the process, though, to make sure that it's not just people with sour grapes making reports over nothing, then there's a potential for disaster. I'd like to trust BHVR understands this ... but some of the things I've seen since I started playing the game makes me understandly nervous about that. 🤞

    I'll just repeat what I said on another thread:

    They already clearly stated VOLUME of reports is the key. So it won't be possible to grief anyone with this. Four reports isn't going to hit you with a ban - but forty reports might, and one hundred reports probably will. Basically, if you aren't a toxic jerk, you have nothing to worry about. If you ARE worried about this announcement? You may want to ask yourself why.
