Stop with challenges that are NOT under our control
Seriously, whoever comes up with these needs to take a dictionary and look up the definition of fun, because this isn't anywhere close to that.
I'm talking about challenges that require specific circumstances to exist so that they can be fulfilled, which we have little or no control over, especially when they require other players to behave a certain way.
Examples are the challenge for Plague to hit 2 survivors with one stream of corrupt purge, twice in a trial. In case you haven't noticed it yet:
- Plague can't control when or where survivors will group up
- Plague can't control when or where to get corrupt purge if survivors refuse to cleanse and go into hiding when the sole pool of devotion is used
All that leads to are frustrating trial after frustrating trial, until you just give up and farm it. That's not fun.
The same is true for the Blood Debt challenge, probably the worst in the game.
- I can't control when I get hooked (without throwing the game)
- I can't control when my rescuer gets hooked (without sandbagging them)
- I can't control whether I will be the first to reach them for the unhook or someone else
- I can't control when a killer camps someone to the degree that safe unhooks become near impossible
I like the archive challenges overall, but especially survivor challenges such as Blood Debt frustrate me to no end as a solo survivor and often ruin the gaming session pretty quickly.

Ya I have noticed some challenges are a little.... annoying. Like getting 4 protection hits or 4 safe unhooks in one gaming using the perk we're gonna make it. I mean it's a good idea in theory but I think the concept of getting people to try different things is a good thing but sometimes how can you expect me to catch 4 people in the trappers trap in a single trial? I am rank 7 and most players that rank aren't that dumb to fall for a trap 4 times in a match.

Not only this, but they also made a challenge which is impossible unless you have one of 2 perks (of which neither is in the shrine) or requires the survivors to use certain perks.

Completely agree.
I get challenges are supposed to be hard, but so many of them are just tedious and annoying.

the problem for me is that everyone is selfish and wants to do only the challenges without playing the game itself

Even worse, they can make you throw the game and put your teammates in a disadvantage
As hated as farming killers and SWF are, I cannot thank them enough for letting me finish so many of my dumb challenges
