I just take it as it comes.
It can be boring to me, and a bit awkward. But if everyone is on board with it, then sure – lets do it, get it over with, and go next.
I dont think it should be reportable. But it clearly isnt normal gameplay.
Yea I had it happen yesterday against a skull merchant I just wanted to play and get footage for my TikTok but my teammates started sandbagging me to help farm shits annoying tbh
I do farming but for people who don't wanna farm I get the other people to two hooks, and then I chase the last person assuming that they the only one who didnt want to farm) while everyone else does gens. I just chase them lol if I get them I get them if not then whomp whomp lol. Tbh I like farming but I also like people who actually tries when I chase them because it helps me get better at chasing. I mean on both ends because back when I played dbd I played both. I'm not good in chase on survivor so if the killer is a farmer and like the 2 hook kind I want them to actually chase me and down me so I can get good at it. What I'm saying I just wanna practice for when I play non farm games.
Short Answer: Nah
Whats annoying is when the survivors realize theyre gonna loose and then wanna try to farm
farming is stupid because it's only farming when the SWF wants it to be "farming", i've had multiple groups of survivors swarm me during a game dropping flashbangs, firecrackers, blinding, Tbagging the total works, game ends and i have 0 hooks their bagging the exit gate, then when i proceed to not suck them off in the endgame chat they go "why are you made we just wanted to farm with you", but now thanks to this event and instant hooking they are still complaining i am not letting them farm because they are all dying on hook and suddenly i am the bad guy
I dislike people who go into the match with the intention of farming right from the start, that's boring and kinda cringe imo. Whenever I "farm," it's usually because I started playing normal, then maybe I had some funny interactions and was perhaps charmed by a bard or gifts of items.
If I am successfully charmed by a survivor, I usually don't play favorites like the killer in the twitter clip, I feel it to be rather scummy to tunnel out the other three just cause one guy lowkey gave up and befriended me.
Basically I decide when to farm the same way I decide when to tunnel. I play it by ear and see what the feel of the lobby is like, if the vibes are real sweaty I might use some underhanded tactics, if it's kinda chill or perhaps pitiful I might cut them some slack or sometimes let them live and farm.
im glad you made a video about this because i find farming to be mind bogglingly boring. i dont mind it being 1 game out of 10 or 20, but when it happens 4 or even 5 out of 10 games its gets to be too much. i dont want to sit there and take the 1 out of 2 things i have to do as a survivor and make it even more boring. thats why whenever i get these games i just do the gens, drop my item for the thanks, and immediately leave so i can get into another game as fast as possible.
on the distant relation of farming, i hate when killers see that im on a dull totem or doing a glyph and im sticking it in their face so they can see its important to me and they just grab me instead of giving me 1 more second to finish it. i feel like not many people use undying enough to care about dull totems being cleansed so whats the point
for me, i play both sides of the game. and i'll be one to admit that i'm not the best player on either side. i don't always get 4K's a killer. and i can't take killers on a lot of chases as a survivor. so whenever i see a possible situation of farming. i don't mind doing it on either side. but it shouldn't be a reportable thing, but i can get if someone wanted to play things normally. more power to ya. but this is another case of "you can't please everyone". because on the one hand, you'll have people talking about killers who are "too sweaty & try hard" and want to have nice killers. then others are all "i hate farming, just play the game normally". now sandbagging when you're just trying to do the game normally. i can get, but it shouldn't be a reportable or banable offense just cause some people wanna just chill & farm. i just think maybe people should read the room if possible. but it's an online MP game, so you can never know what to expect when you load into a match. no matter what side you're on
Honestly I don't mind it on a small scale. For example I let survivors collect an invitation if they haven't let and let them collect their glyphs. Other times if a survivors charms me I'll let them be, or even if they snitch..Just makes my job as killer easier. In exchange for betrayal I give them their life. Bad for other survivors? Yes really bad. Bad for me and makes me mad that they do it? Not really. Other types of farming like pallet stunning me or flashlight blinding? Nope not letting that happen. Especially when some survivors want to do it after they gen rush me.
Usually, when I farm and I see someone trying to play normally, I will let them play normally
I dont mind farming just because the grind can be painful at times. But Im like weird. Ill play a game and fully intend to play it out and what not as a normal game but some times just the survivors doing poorly and Im obviously going to win at 4 or 5 gens Ill just go "Eh fuck it" and fuck around. Yeah its kinda throwing a game? But at the same time what does it matter to me? I still get points and at that moment I didnt care to win like I would at a different time. Im probably a confusing person.
From the text in the in-game report menu:
Griefing: Intentional Gameplay Abuse / Trolling
Report this player for intentionally using abilities or game mechanics to the detriment of the game. Examples: Taking the game hostage, body blocking, working with the killer.
Now, these are admittedly worded pretty vaguely but there is no denying that "farming" is "working with the killer" (and the killer "working with the survivors"). The question is now is it to the detriment of the game? I will argue yes. If you are a normal player and you want to play a regular old round of DBD, maybe you have an archive to stun the killer in chase but they won't chase you because they are farming, it will force you to waste time, lowering the quality of the game by an action that is described as working with the survivors as the killer. So in this case by the wording of the game's own description I will say that farming can definitely be reportable.
I "farm". I play normally till I 2 hook and then i just go around myself and make sure my categories are maxed out. Usually a normal length match and people typically dont catch on that I'm actively letting them go. (Lot of survivors give up actually)
Also, havent seen a farming killer since last halloween, where yall finding these folks?
Ah shit. 3am boys rise up! Except. I need to go to bed 😔
Farming can be incredibly annoying when I want to end the damn game. But honestly it's so rare that I don't care as much. It's aslo an excuse to play somewhat nice. There will be plenty of times I could end the game as soon as possible. But if I notice they're not good I figure I'm not gonna kill this person now. I'll slug em. Let the team heal them and get some points while letting them play a bit longer and mop them up at the end. It's not that serious. I don't hold the game hostage, the game just ends slightly later than it would have
If I run into survivors who want to farm, cool. If they clearly want to loop and play normal, cool.
If someone is clearly trying to ruin their teammate's game through sandbagging or whatever, the asshole who's ruining the game for everyone else is probably going to die first and everyone else gets to leave (if they want to)
I do farm, but I do start every match serious, have a little mini game i play where if I can get everyone to death hook before 2 or more gens are done, I go friendly and farm, but if the survivors keep up with me and I am not stomping them I will finish the match normally.
I farm but go for 8 hooks n farm on my Nurse. Play normally until 8 hooks. By the time you get them; the gens are done, or very close… or already done. I’ll hook someone and nod at them that they can escape, and maybe stand close so they can get off and continue.
The reason is for fun and practice and to bust the sweaty Nurse stereotype. I’ll use meme perks on her for it. Like Bamboozle. The other is to get more toys during events. I’m a whore for Iri stones for Trapper lol.
This method leads to a normal game, and then ends wholesomely. Survivors get to have a fun game, I get my fill and items they donate, and we are all happy. People who don’t like farming still get to play and loop.
Standing around and doing gens is boring. This approach is better then the other.
Newer players also get a much welcomed bp boost, and it helps them get more perks to play with, along with characters to play as.
Tl;dr – I 8 hook and go friendly and the game’s already over. Win-win for everyone.
Farming is okay… to an extent. Especially during this event, i try to farm only when either the teammates quit on hook early on, or when I get an 8 hook by playing normally. That way, there's still gameplay, but everyone can still get a substantial amount of bloodpoints.
deam i got lot of comments on my profile from survs crying that im playing normaly in event.
I agree, I don't really like farming killers that much mainly cause farming is boring. But I'd never consider it a reason to be a reportable offense unless in the certain circumstance that was shown in the video. Cause what happened too him is complete bullshit just because he wanted a normal game of DBD is a shame.
Farming by kicking gens and waiting…
You can literally max everyones objectives by doing gens normally
I am somewhat of a farmer some matches I go into with the intent of being nice and willing to farm but most times I'll go into a match and if off the bat they ask to be friends then I'm down if after I've thrashed them so long as they weren't toxic or anything like that I'll farm with them and let them live without issue. My newest strategy is going in hard hooking everyone twice and then if they were nice or decent and weren't sweaty or toxic then I'll let them live. Overall my approach is if they Wana go hard I'll go hard back if they Wana chill I'll be chill back. All of this is to say no it shouldn't be bannable if we have to accept that people can camp and tunnel at 5 gens and do everything in there power to make survs suffer then we also have to accept that people can also chill and just get BP if they want to. Not everyone wants to go hard every match and many survivors actually love farming killers. I hide my name now but when my name was open and people could message me I had so many survivors thanking me and expressing gratitude for me being nice to them and farming because they had a bad day and there matches weren't going super well and they just wanted to do a challenge. I also run into streamers and many are happy to have a little farm session after 5 matches of tunneling and camping. Now I've also come across people who don't Wana farm and that's fine aswell normally after I hook them twice they come and ask me to kill them and after a few back and forth head nods and gestures so I can confirm they really Wana die and go next I let them go next or they DC the second they see I'm farming but that's only happend like twice. In conclusion many people like farming and farming is mutually beneficial there are many ways to do farming and there can be ways that are alot more fun than just gen kick SIM if you don't like farming that's fine either ask to be killed or DC as is the response given to tunneling camping and everything else. But back to the old fraise "your fun is not my responsibility" and "I bought the game I can play how I want" unfortunately they also apply to the play styles that YOU don't like not only the ones you do like. I think kaiser articulated themself perfectly in this vid and honestly it was quite nice to hear them discussing it in a more calm and civilised tone as the shouting and swearing while for comedy purposes make my defensive caveman brain go off extra hard and sometimes struggle to properly take in what there saying and how there meaning it.
I usually want to play the game normally too and I'm usually the person that does the gens when the others go "farming" with the killer (except I maybe have an archieve, where I need to stun the Killer x times in one trial or smth lol). But I had a similiar situation like the Jules person in this video, where I was targeted by the Killer and the other players because I didn't want to farm with them, the survs body blocked me and the killer downed me, the survivors then proceeding to t-bag on my head and the killer humping me on the ground. I then wanted to end the game faster by trying to get to second stage by trying to unhook myself but the survivors didn't let me and then I was slugged the rest of the game by the killer, they let go the other survivors and killed me as the only one.
Everytime i get into a farming game as surv I literally groan audibly. I can't play normally or i get tunneled and lose my item, but im pissed cuz i wasted my good addons. Like i brought this big dick heals medkit for a reason. To put things simply farming can't be reportable but as a community , we need to stop it unless we are a 4 man team with a killer who likes the idea. And if the killer rejects you? Play regularly.
I do it sometimes out of petty yesterday just stopped running and stared at me. I couldn’t do it.😩
If there are 5 cakes I'll not use the most oppressive and disgusting tactics, I'll try to give every survivor a chance to have a chase but that doesn't mean everyone is like that, and if the survivors start being threatening I'll just adapt.
Honestly only ever do it during events but I refuse to do it for long, like its cool and all that everyone is chill get a few hooks maybe help with challenges if they can communicate it well enough but I want to get to my next game, I don't go into a game with the intent of farming but sometimes it can just be fun to chill with people and have a light hearted game every now and again.
Especially since matchmaking is broken for me and I end up getting games against people far higher skill level than me majority of the time which leads to fustration.
If they don't want to farm then play norms. That's what event is for. You're the idiot if you wanna sweat in event and complain surivivors or killers farming BP. Did you forget it takes 1.7 mil to prestige one, since you don't need to farm BP get your ass into norms que and quit your whining.
I also do the 2 hook thing during the anniversary but I do play seriously until I get everyone to death hook, Forcing people that don't wanna farm into farming is just stupid af
Farming not but the most annoying thing for me is teammates who cooperate with killer to bodyblock or show position from other surv to get Hatch.
I always report that
Compared to the sweat fest killers are enjoying right now, I welcome farming matches. It's maybe 1 out of 50 matches.
Alright, my two cents to everything because this topic is "important"(?) to me. Ill edit this comment as the video goes so pls cut me some slack.
For a bit of background: I have two friends who basically farm like 80% of the games they are playing.
In case some people didnt see that Hens video a few months back, there is a way to pretty much guarantee farming lobbies every round and in the meantime many na and eu folks have adapted to this and found methods to do this aswel. They found ways to max out every game in like 10 minutes max, which is just more efficient than playing the game reguarly. Basically its some people playing a totally different game, which makes it fine for me since noone that doesnt wanna farm gets involved or annoyed by it. But they are still huge nerds for that (which comes from your minmaxing cleric, as a short funfact)
So from time to time i do play a few farming matches with them (even tho i rly dont understand how you can do it to such an extend, since the monotony kills me after like 5-6 matches and i wont touch a farming game for a solid 2-3 weeks after, if not longer).
So in general i like to play the game normally and i dislike farming in my normal pub games from the get go. Some of my matches i like to let the last 2 go if it was close anyway or just let them finish the last gen and leave if i feel like it, but until that point its a regular match. Yes, you get your glyph and if you stare at me dissapointed after you failed your save, i laugh about it and give you the chance of a headstart afterwards etc, but i wanna play the game. And thats the amount of goofing around that i like in my games from both sides. Not every game aswell, but you get the idea. Now to the video:
03:50 "farming is boring" Well, yes. If you just wanna play the game normally and others refuse, that sucks. easiest way is probably to get out of the match asap and get into a new one. It can be relaxing from time to time. Like i enjoy rewatching movies in that farming session my friends do and that "not having to think about anything, just goof around a bit etc" is a pretty chill time. BUT everyone in the lobby is fine with it, since everyone queued for that exact reason. So noones game is ruined and thats the important part here.
06:00 completly understandable tbh. Especially if its still like 5 gens im usually just not willing to bear with this. "hook everyone, give everyone some save points, kill all but 1, give em hatch. Thats like my compromise. But i totally get your point of view too and thats a rly sweet way, even if they dont know it.
08:55 100% this.
I agree with you 100% on the final part. It shouldnt be reportable for the reasons youve given and reaper definitly took it a little too far (i think i even wrote that under the tweet aswell), but i get where Reaper is coming from and agree that noone should be forced into a farming session. join those nerds on their servers xD Didnt even look at it from the "it might not even be farming" perspective, thats a new one for me.
Didnt think THIS would be the topic where i would write a wall of text again since i just kinda lurked through the last recent videos. But well here we go. Have a great day everyone <3
I don't mind for the most part when it comes to farming, I don't participate in it as a killer but if I'm playing survivor and I get put into the situation of join in with farming with the others or be tunneled out, ima pick the farming. Where I have a huge issue with farming is the toxicity for not participating. I have queued up to PLAY killer, I want to play my role then when survivors run up pointing or dropping items at the start of the match for me already my funs ruined, I wanted to play to win against the same but instead I know get my first few hooks for free which, I then go on to win the match due to the massive advantage they gave me because they wanted to farm. The biggest issue is being flamed for playing the game, a few times after this scenario occurred I was met with toxic end game chat (not that I care what people say to me) about how pathetic it is to not farm. I don't think it should be bannable but I wish people had some level of self awareness
