Ungrateful Survivors?
So I play both killer and survivor a lot. I kinda got bored with how easy killer has been lately and have been trying a couple meme builds and challenges, etc
I found myself deranking from not playing "competitively" and facing a few potatoes.
So unless I get BM'd or see someone being toxic to their team I try and let the "victims" escape/farm because I dont feel its fair not to.
My issue is that few survivors even say "ty" in the endgame chat. I could have easily killed them dozens of times over and they know it. I let them farm far more points than they would have gotten and put myself at a BP/pip loss to help them. I dont expect much but just a ty from at least one of the 4! Am I expecting too much? If I ever face a killer that is friendly I would never dream of leaving without saying ty immediately! Heck, most of my games I usually thank/praise the killer if they simply dont tunnel/camp! Should I just kill them even if its "unfair" to them? Like, is a simple "ty" too much to ask for...? I dont know why its getting so annoying for me but not one survivor has said "ty" tonight...

I only do that if I demolished a team of potato’s and their is 2 left then 1 I might let them go.
Besides that expect toxicity you can’t let them go.
Unless maybe they pay me their item;)

Maybe thats my problem - I let too many escape/live? If I kill the rest maybe the survivor would at least give a "ty" I just hate when I have a team with a quitter/early suicider... I guess its other survivors faults for making killers just kill them so I should try and not feel so bad about it...
I like your item tax though. I might give that one a try!

Well the thing is that most people play this game to ... you know play the game
While farming gives them more bloodpoints you bassicly robbed them out of the game they wanted to play
I know i would be annoyed if after waiting forever in the loby and i wouldn't even get a real match
Also important life lesson, if people don't ask for something you shouldn't expect gratitude from them
I know you probably don't mean it like that but just demanding gratitude for something people didn't even ask for makes you look like a jerk

I usually let the final survivor go, depending on how well they played against me. If they make me work super hard for the down throughout the match, and they end up being the final survivor, I usually drop them a hatch, or exit gate. Otherwise, if they act toxic they get hunted down like the animals they are

Of course the item tax is forfeit if they were buttheads the whole game

It is good manners, of course, to say thank you, but unless they're actually being rude about it in the chat, there's not really anything to hold against them. You shouldn't do nice things for people because you want to be thanked, you should just do it to be nice. Yeah, it's a bit annoying, but I wouldn't read too far into it.
It's also worth noting that you may not have been doing all of those survivors a favour. Some people like to play competitively even if it means they get killed, and they hate being let go or forced to farm. So if some of the survivors you faced were of that mindset, from their perspective there was nothing to be grateful for, and you shouldn't hold that against them either.

Dont get me wrong - dont go into the game to be a jerk/rob them of their game. I typically play fair/normal until I have everyone on death hook and basically have them all downed. I typically view that as the end of the average game and that they've officially lost. Thus, anything after I view as a generous bonus. But I get what you mean - I shouldnt expect a ty for being nice when they didnt ask for it...

I see what you mean. I typically play the game normally until I have everyone on death hook and basically have them all downed. I typically view that as the end of the average/competitive game and that they've officially lost. Thus, anything after I viewed as a generous bonus. But I get what you're saying and I shouldnt expect a ty for being nice when they didnt ask for it. Thanks for taking the time to reply

As someone who tends to play killer like this, I think the main question to ask yourself is why do you play like that? What I mean is, that I 100% get where you're coming from and personally I might give it a few secs end game to see if they say something but at the end of the day I play for myself.
Camping/tunneling sweaty killers ruin the game for 4 other people. I'm not going to be that guy, Because I don't like that guy.
At the end of the day, play how you want to play. That way you won't be disappointed if people don't really clue in with what you're doing.

You also have them a boost in rank they do not deserve. Ultimately it will bite them as they won't get the well matches games they actually want

Thanks! Thats a very nice way of looking at it! I might just play how I feel and just leave the end game chat - that way its Schrödinger's chat! They have both said "ty" and not at the same time until otherwise observed >D

Being a survivor is all about abusing the killer's good will. Literally a killer has to follow the point system but he could very much demolish most teams if he wanted to play dirty well as long as it's not SWF.
Regardless you get insulted whether you're playing nice or not, So shrugs I guess.

That's like - sure, I set your house on fire, but I also went in and rescued you - why don't you thank me???
A lot of killers might prolong the game to get more blood points themselves - and it's pretentious to feel you are owed a thank you. Even more pretentious you came to the forum to complain about not getting a regular thank you. Sounds like you are just grasping at reasons to start becoming a scummy killer. Just blame society and take the plunge already.
As a killer it is nice to get a thank you, but you should not expect it.
