Forced to farm
I'm wondering what others think of being a match with other survivors and a killer who are forcing you to farm instead of playing the match normally. I've seen how this goes, if you don't play along with whatever they want, then you'll get tunneled out or killed and the killer will let the others escape because they did farm in a way the killer wanted.
I'd personally want a normal match. If the killer wants to farm at the very end then yeah whatever. But if you're loading in and all you're doing is just forcing people to farm with you? Is that not reportable?

I get so many complaints, survivor or killer, about playing 'too serious' and whatnot, or playing against/with people who ARE way too serious and toxic in endgame chat that when I get lobbies like this… I'm fine with it.
I'd rather have a goofy farm session every once in awhile to break up the monotony.6 -
Ive had to farm allot as killer in this event. But not because id just start the round and be friendly. Theres so many people just throwing the match at the first down, they will dc, they will stand at the hook, they will follow the killer around waving at them. At which point its not fair to the other 3 players that this one tried to ruin the round for everyone and itd just be a 3v1 for the rest of it. So i kill the one throwing, farm points with the other 3 not intending to kill any of them, just 2 hooks on each and kicking blood gens when i can. Im not exadurating when i say 60% of my matches in this event have atleast 1 person immediately throwing. So its been a lot of farming so that its not just some 3v1 stomp fest every time. To get reported for not just going "well screw them i wanna win" is a bit harsh.
As for what killers i was playing it didnt matter, i was on deathslinger/springtrap/ghoul/krasue/the first/houndmaster/trapper/trickster/xeno

The absolute last thing I'm concerned about in this game is forced friendship between enemies.

That is reportable yes, especially if it's survivors and killers working together to farm and you want a normal match and are being forced into the farming.
Personally when those things happen, I try to do the gens, get out of the match as quickly as possible - farming is not fun. It's a super grey area though, but its definitely reportable.

If I'm in the mood to farm and someone doesn't want to play along I just leave them alone. They can do gens if they want, I'll just go play with one of the other survivors that do want to farm. I don't really get the need to specifically target them - honestly I usually just assume they don't realize what I'm doing.
I don't really purely farm that often though because I've noticed it seems to get me stuck in a cycle of lobbies that only want to farm and then I feel bad for eventually wanting to play normal against someone playing a tambourine for me.

It's in the eye of the beholder.
I love a casual match where we all farm points, but it's rare to see that anymore. It's more often that you have a Killer that will hard tunnel 2 people out and force the remaining 2 to finish all the gens by themselves and I don't participate in that. For one, starting the trial that sweaty makes me distrust you. Secondly, I don't want to help someone that ensured two of the people in my team weren't able to play.
The big caveat being that a "normal" trial is a camp/tunnel/slug fest right out of the gate because there are no systems to prevent it like we were told there would be.

I'd rather have a normal match. I don't appreciate wasting my time doing 4 gens, only to get cornered by 3 teammates and the killer at the end, and get killed as the only gamer, just because I didn't want to run around for 20+ minutes to throw all the pallets, get downed, heal up, get downed again, get hooked, farmed, hooked and repeat. Besides because there is right now a BP event more people are doing this right now.
Thank you, that is all I needed to know.

I actually agree with both you and Mandy here. If you are singled out for NOT farming, then yeah, report em'
I just personally go with the flow of the match. If I see a killer pulling what they did on you, I switch back off farm mode and bodyblock for whoever is being tunneled.2 -
I have seen so many people team with the killer this week it's infuriating i'm looping my butt off and people are working with killers an letting that person who does nothing all game go

Well now i know never to farm again. Even if someone throws. Don't want to get banned for it afterall.

No one should ever be forced to farm or bullied for not farming. If someone wants to play normally, let them finish the gens and go.

Me as a Killer and Survivor its honestly the most annoying thing in the game. Yes its fun to farm but its boring AF. I was slugged all game because I was doing the Gens and the survivors Tbagged me and repeatedly picked me up just for the killer to Down me.
Its why I perfer playing Killer. I just enjoy winning my matches. Ill make a post on it I actually screen shot the match. I reported them and I hope they get banned

Here it is. Slugged the entire match. This was the start of it. 30mins on the floor and after a bit I was repeatedly picked up and downed until I died

Exactly, if I ever see a killer get banned for trying to be friendly this games community is cooked lmfao
I don't want to ever see that even considered unless its clearly keeping someone in a match hostage!
Also @Skeleton23 you can't be slugged for 30 minutes, plus you can also abandon if slugged multiple times.2 -
Could you imagine being banned for this? The occasional friendly killer is an absolute joy between getting tunneled and slugged every other match. I've never done a full-on farming match as killer, it's just not my thing, but I love having friendly interactions with survivors who got a raw deal because their teammates DCed or sandbagged. I don't know if I'd want to play without those nice moments.
Being treated badly because you refused to participate is different, but I've never seen that happen. When someone doesnt want to be involved, they just sit on gens and leave.

Yea because there is nothing monotonous at all about farming. Just triple hook me and send me on my way to an actual match of dbd. It's 2026 spending 20 minutes farming is not more efficient than just playing another match unless it's those people sniping each other with farming setups.

You know i was not being completely serious about the 30mins right. It was a exaggeration

I’m sorry to tag you but I was hoping for clarification on this as I want to make sure I’m not breaking the rules. Are you saying it’s reportable to farm entirely, or are you saying it’s reportable to farm and then get upset if one person doesn’t and then kill them?
I ask because I love to farm as killer specifically during events, where everyone works together as a team for a bunch of event quests and gets lots of blood points. Is what I’m doing not allowed?

I still think about this Nemesis that carried me with Mad Grit and repeatedly hit the air around me.
I would have died for that man, but he dropped me at the exit gate and watched me crawl out. It was such a shame, best killer I've seen in years.

Farming normally is fine. It's only not okay if you're forcing someone to farm. There are a few posts of the mods saying as such so you're perfectly fine!
If someone is trying to do gens and wants nothing to do with it, and then you single them out by slugging, or killing them while not doing that to the others, that's reportable.
If I plan to farm during an event, I tend to play a match out normally, 2-hooking everyone and then I mess around. I find this has the best reception as the survivors get a normal-ish game and everyone gets plenty of bloodpoints.
Edit: The only thing I'm not sure on is if a single player didn't want to farm, and you 2-hooked them, and then let them do whatever after. I've had that happen to a survivor teammate a couple times.

Ah, I appreciate the clarification! .I would never force someone to farm, but thankfully I’ve never come across someone who didn’t want to. Thank you for clearing that up!

Personally, I queue up for a match because I want to play the game.
However, since the killer is alone on their side, they have the biggest influence over how the match will go down.
So if the killer is friendly, I play along for a bit and then just go and do generators to get it over with.
And if the killer decides to kill me instead, that's just another way for me to move on to the next match, so that's fine too.1 -
I don’t think you have that right. If killer allows some survs to farm and kills others that isn't breaking the rules. It is effectively tunneling which is not reportable. The only time anyone is breaking the rules in this situation is if the farming survivors actively help killer find the one who won't engage with the farming because that's workimg with the opposite team.
The latter example, forcing someone to stay in the game when they don't want to farm and refusing to kill them, that IS breaking the rules because you're refusing to engage in normal gamrplay AND are actively preventing them from being able to progress to next match. You're technically sandbagging, especially if you prevent them finishing gens.
Tagging dude who asked the question too just to prevent misinformation

It's always been complained about and I really don't understand it. Friendly Killers that force healing are super annoying, but who really gets upset about pallet farming? The aforementioned "normal" trials cause so much burnout.
