Kill Your Friends should give bloodpoints but at a reduced rate

The excuse the devs give us for not touching swf time and time again is that there should be no punishment for playing with your friends. And yet, the ultimate play with your friends mode is the one with the heaviest punishment: no ranking and no bloodpoints. It's obvious why it shouldn't affect rank, but with the ridiculously heavy grind in this game, there's no reason it should have no bloodpoint gain. Sure, you could theoretically farm bloodpoints in kyf, but with no bloodpoint offerings, you'll never catch up to the rate at which you can gain bloodpoints from regular gameplay. And if they're really so concerned about bloodpoint farming, they can just make kyf give half bloodpoints compared to a matchmade game. If bhvr is honestly concerned about promoting casual gameplay, they should let us gain bloodpoints from kyf where we can deal with the least amount of toxicity, and consequently enjoy the most fun.

    We’re gonna live forever and BBQ and chilli are a thing, you could soo easily farm points but its lowkey necessary with the grind tbh

    This is good, especially since if you get sick of the community, you can play with trusted friends :)

    Also, this is the same as another post, we need to integrate this to the other one.

    If you're earning it at a reduced rate you would still have to probably grind out a lot more matches then you would if you just played regularly.

    Still it wouldn’t be fare on people that want to play the game properly, but die within because some face camping B**, I get what you mean but still you can make a lot more blood points than still would in a normal game (well depending on how low the reducement is).

    The reduced rate punishes them enough that farming makes little sense in this mode. If you get half blood points using BBQ and WGLF nets you a tiny 100%. If it's really a problem let the BP perks and addons have no effect for the BP gain only.

    the problem is, that there will pe players that will not play the actual game, but just farm in KYF matches with their friends until they maxed everything out.

    even at a reduced rate, 5 bloody party streamers and they will make a LOT of points.

    to prevent such farming games, this mode does not reward you with points.

    Unless they changed it since I last played, no form of bloodpoint offerings are available in Kill Your Friends. The best you could get for bloodpoint farming is BBQ and WGLF.

    And so what if people aren't playing the actual game until they max things out. If this game is supposed to be casual, then there's no problem with that. And even if it's supposed to be competitive, giving newer players an advanced starting ground to deal with the other players that are already gonna have more perks, offerings, and addons sounds more balanced. The only difference is that they're having more fun as they grind for bloodpoints to play in matchmade games (at a slower rate than if they were grinding in matchmade).
