[PC Steam] I think anonymous mode should be improved.
I've heard that an anonymous mode was introduced for streamers.
But what's the reality of it?
In truth, only a very small fraction of streamers are utilizing this anonymous mode.
The majority of users who employ this mode behave rudely, or they are essentially users who resort to deceitful tactics.
Even if you can report them while they're in anonymous mode, you can't block their profiles since you have no way of identifying who they are.
The in-game blocking feature was available for a brief period right after its launch,
but now, that block function doesn't work at all. It's nothing more than a hollow text.
For those who don't wish to display their profiles, it's baffling why the game supports this anonymous mode when Steam already offers a feature to set profiles to private.
This issue isn't exclusive to survivors. I believe that anonymous killers face the same predicament.
There have been forum posts from individuals who believe the anonymous mode is problematic. It's disheartening to see that, as time goes by, there seems to be no intention to refine the feature that's been added.
If this truly is a feature designed for streamers, then I believe it should only be available to streamers with a substantial follower count.
In this manner, if they wish to use the anonymous mode, they can. However, their profiles should still be blockable so that others can avoid playing games with them in the future. I think this would be a fair approach.
I believe that such a way of managing the game is not right. Relying solely on the developer's response to reports is not ideal.
Furthermore, not only are issues not addressed immediately, but those who spoil the game experience only face light penalties. Even if actions are taken, we won't be able to identify these players, forcing us to continue playing with them.
Additionally, for console and Epic Store users, even if profiles are not visible, the block feature should undeniably be operational.

Us on Xbox cannot even use the Anonymous Mode at all, and the blocking feature only prevents communication not matchmaking.

I'm saying that the blocking feature is not functioning in the game itself, based on PC Steam. For console users, they essentially can't block anyone since they can't view profiles, which effectively means there's no difference between this and an anonymous mode for PC Steam users.

Ahhhh I have no idea how our PC cousins do things.
For me on Xbox I can always find anyone's profile once I've played with them, and apparently DBD's devs system tried to override that or something of the sort. So no Anonymous Mode for us.
