Did devs have fear of "potentialy" loose his playerbase by nerfing SWF and balance the game?

Resorting to insults doesn't resolve anything.

You cant nerf SWF

Instead of it being only occasionally, it would become far more prevalent. I don't play on PC, so I cannot speak for PC Survivors but as a Console AU Player, I don't see a lot of Toolboxes/Prove Thyself.

That is a horrible idea

Do people in this thread not realize that if SWF got nerfed or removed from the game, a lot of players would not play anymore???

The real fans will always stay, I think the bullies who are nothing without swf would indeed not play anymore.

I can see that. I don’t bully killers I think it’s childish and unsportsmanlike. I don’t even do it if they’re camping or tunneling cause it’s just part of the game.

People that already struggle to escape would just quit...

I do believe that you are not a bully, and that you are also fine without SWF.
But as you can see in my screenshots, unfortunately this is not the case for everyone.

When I think how the totem counter was added for us, solo... I doubt we will ever get the Survivors's aura from Kindred as a basekit. But I wish.

I gotta say, reading through all four pages of this probably dissolved the majority of my braincells.
Out of curiosity, is there like an average age of the people playing dbd anywhere? Or at least the average age of people on forums? I read a lot of these replies with an angry 10 year old in mind.

I bought this game and keep playing it, only because I can play with my friends and joke around in discord or a call. Looks like no more good times for us

If it would mean that the tbagging trolls, whose sole intent is to only cause misery to other players and especially de-moralize the Killer players would leave? Then yes.
Edit: Just ended a game as a survivor, where I was solo and the other 3 were really blatant SWF. They were all wearing the same outfit as Claudette. The Killer was rank 17 Hillbilly at autohaven wreckkers, I was rank 12. The other two were rank 18 and 20, and the third one was rank 5.
Those three did nothing but harassed and bullied the killer as I was just trying to get out as an adept Kate (just to collect my trophy). And not only, they had 2 map offerings for Autohaven Wreckers.
Not only did these three d-bags ruined the Killers game, they also ruined mine because the Killer had enough and he/she DC'd when we still had 3 gens left.

If you're getting triggered by tbagging or getting 'de-moralized' from players in a game, then maybe you could be the problem. People can be nasty in endgame chat, but not enough to warrant punishment on people who might just swf to be able to run dumb perks and see if they can still win.

Except it also scares away the people just having a good time with friends which I assure you there are much more of than your tbagging trolls. All tbagging does is give the killer a better chance to get them since they aren't making distance anyway.

They need to make kindred basekit and make other aura-reading perks stronger. Honestly a fifth perk slot only for aura perks (bond, empathy, aftercare, open-handed, dark sense, etc) would bring solo survivor up to par with swfs. Then buff killers/nerf all survivors to the point that the game is playable. I'd love for something like gens to be made slower with more frequent skill checks (maybe with a 1% bonus for good checks and a 3% bonus for great checks) and for killers to be limited to only one gen slowdown perk. I would love to use different killer perks and not just stack slowdowns to actually keep up with swfs.

Exactly! Sometimes I feel like some people forget this game is made, like every other game out there, to make money.
You NEED people to invite their friends to the game, the more active players you have the more likely it is for the player base to keep growing. If you take away or punish, the key factor that helps you bring more people then of course the devs should fear losing people.
This subject has to have a different approach. "You get a penalization if you play with friends" drives people away.

The game has never been more balanced. Cry more and get over it. Yes killer is frustrating but newsflash it’s supposed to be
