    In the official "Game Rules & Report System" post on this forum, it says "In case of conflict between the EULA and this page, the EULA will prevail."

    yes but this isn't conflict as I explained these work in conjunction with one another not against.

    The TOS and EULA say it is a violation to "Interfere with the ability of others to enjoy playing a BHVR Service...".

    These statements conflict with the language on the rules page which asks players not to report "camping", because of the specific type of camping where a survivor is hooked at the start of a match and then is stubbornly camped until death on their first hook, thus prematurely halting their ability to play the game, removing opportunity for getting points/rewards/etc. The documents may work "in conjunction" with each other in general, but in this instance they conflict. Thus the EULA takes precedence and this behavior should be treated as a violation. It doesn't mean all actions which could be called "camping" are somehow a violation, but the kind where someone basically doesn't get to play the game definitely is.

    Being on the Hook is playing the game, which is why it's not a violation
