I don't expect killers to let all survivors go, or meme around, or farm, but can we all at least just play the goddamn game?

There is no reason at all to camp and tunnel out two survivors at 4 gens then slug the last two in general, but when there's five tiramisus? You're not even getting many points for brutality or chasing if you have no gens to kick and players are just bleeding out on the ground ffs. If you just played competitively but normally you could likely still get a 4K, and/or get more points than playing the asshole way.

It is a game, yes, and that means you don't owe the other side anything. Play the game, play to win.

But at the same time, it is a game. It doesn't have to be THAT serious that it warrants you sweating so much so early.

And the people who do it because the fun of the game for them comes not from the challenge or objectives of the game but instead comes from doing whatever you can to be a dick to other people? I say this sincerely, that is really sad. You know most people don't derive their main source of pleasure from hurting/harassing/annoying other people, right? Like, you know that is not a thing that people who are okay do?

And survivors also don't need to go out of their way to be as rude as fucking possible, in and outside of events. Like, chill out for a second. Lots of killers are choosing to be casual in the early days of the event, you're not necessarily actually outplaying them, and even if you were, your "achievement" doesn't warrant endless teabagging, literally hundreds/thousands of other people are escaping this game every single day lmao, you're not a superstar.

Just play the game. If you want to be chill about it and have fun celebrating the event then you do you, but it's obviously okay not to. But can we at least just all just play the game we're celebrating the anniversary of as it was intended to be played?

Yeah I honestly find it more confusingly exasperating than making me actually angry. I just roll my eyes and play Wordle on my phone or whatever until their done their bullshit and I never bother with post game chats/messages. When I know I have tacky survivors waiting for me at the gate I walk around break doors or run my power or whatever. Not going to give them the direct satisfaction and I don’t care whether or not I always get the 4K or always get the escape, like they’re great when they happen but it’s not ruining my fun if I don’t “win” every match so I’m not going to get desperate at the end.

But it is just all so god damned stupid. I feel genuine second-hand embarrassment for trolls of any kind lol.
