This will get a DC from me every time
The match had just started. I spawned in a big area surrounded by 3 walls. Before I had the chance to get out of the area I heard the killer coming. I hid in a locker. Another survivor hid in the locker next to me. As the killer came to the area where we were hiding the other survivor jumps out of the locker and points at the one where I am hiding.
The killer walked right by this survivor and didn't even bother to take a swing at them. He then opened the locker where I was and pulled me out and walked away. The other survivor followed. As soon as I was hooked the same survivor walked up and unhooked me. Once again the killer didn't even bother to take a swing at them, but hit me immediately.
Yes, I DC'd, and for the record I will DC EVERY SINGLE TIME this happens.
The killer sends me an angry message about being a sore loser and breaking the rules. The same killer that can only keep from being a loser by breaking the rules and working with a survivor sent me a message about those things.

I've done similar. Survivors pointing at a locker of a fellow survivor, and I down them, nod at the locker, and take the pointer away. Give them a head start to run.
I've had one situation where they body blocked their own teammate in a corner, where it seemed intentional. I accidentally downed that person. So after I got the blocker on a hook, I picked the other up and stood still so they could get back up.
Its not my fault officer the money tempted me to steal it!
DC'ing still isn't the case of this problem but ok.
Lol yeah, that sure is no reason to DC. 🤣 I would have DC'd in that setting too. Survivors using the pointing mechanic to out other survivors is more annoying than anything the killer can do short of going along with it.
Did you read his post? The other survivor jumped out and pointed. That's how the other survivor is even involved in this situation. How did you get so involved in white knighting the killer in this post and not even read it?
I realize DCing is technically breaking the rules. However, there are times following a particular rule is counterproductive to the reason the rule was put in place.
The rule against DCing was put in place because people want to bail out just because they are having a bad game. DCing in that situation is detrimental to everyone else in that match. The rule is there to prevent it from being an abusive behavior.
However, the moment you start saying I, or anyone else, must follow a particular rule that is allowing someone to engage in abusive behavior you are literally saying I should take actions that actively encourage the type of situation the rule was implemented to prevent. Why should those whom are engaging in this abusive behaviors stop if everyone is going to sit by and just take it?
Don't get me wrong. We are all entitled to our own opinion. You don't want to DC when someone is engaging in this type of abusive behavior because it is against the rules. That's your prerogative. I personally think you are contributing to the problem of abusive players by making that type of behavior profitable.
I don't expect to change any minds. As for me..... I refuse to allow others to benefit from their abusive gameplay and to say I should is 100% antithetical to the reason the rule was made in the first place.
I already stated in a reply to you after you gave more details that it was actually classed as working with the killer!
This reply was to tell another poster how a scenario can be done if you look at post I was replying too.
Point taken.
I always tunnel survivors who purposely try to get their teammates killed, it's what they deserve
As the OP I was rereading through this whole thread when a memory popped into mind. While I was in the military I held a position that required a security clearance above Top Secret level. Even with that clearance there were things above my security level. During my classroom training for the job the instructor went around the room asking everyone a question.
He wanted to know what each person would do in the event our facility was being overrun by hostile forces and we were the only one near a room with documents that were above our clearance level. He asked if we would take the documents on our way out or leave them.
Several people said they would grab the documents. To my surprise there were also several that said they would just leave them.
The instructor asked one of those whom said they would leave the documents why he thought he should leave the documents. The student told him because the rules specifically stated he was not to handle documents above his clearance level. The instructor looked at him and asked what he thought the intent of that rule was, and you could see the light come on in several peoples faces.
The student said it is to ensure people that don’t need to see that information don’t see it. The instructor told him he was right and then said “In that situation who do you think has less need to see that information, you or the hostile forces?”
He then made sure he told us to NEVER confuse a rule with the intent of the rule. He said if a situation comes about where following a rule would result in the outcome the rule was designed to prevent you can safely assume disregarding that rule is the right course of action.
Yes, I know this isn't a DBD story, but it seems there are many here that would have left the documents for the hostile forces because apparently you can never ever break a rule under any circumstances.
Working with the opposite team to gain an advantage or grief teammates.
Pretty sure this sort of behaviour is bannable. Not perma ban but a temporary ban according to the devs.
It's also really sad to see people blaming OP.
It's crazy
I'm glad somebody said it. It's bordering on satire at this point. The kind of mental gymnastics you have to perform to come to an opinion like that is insane.
Killer didnt break rules. The other survivor did. Killer had one target give up another.
You DCing however, is completely in YOUR control, ruins the game (even if it's already #########) for everyone else, and you're admitting you do it and plan to continue.
Enjoy your loneliness.
Yes. Working with. Not randomly pointing in an attempt to get someone else caught instead of you.
Everyone still thinks this is a team game, dont they?
Right, they were going to have me dead anyway within a few seconds. But the fact I DC'd those few seconds earlier ruined the game for everyone else. That's just plain asinine.
Once again, we do not support or encourage DCing, so if it happens again, please be sure to properly demonstrate if those players were working together.
This specific situation, if the killer and the survivor were actually "working together", would require a report in game and additional evidence sent to support, so please if it happens again, collect evidence and follow the right steps, thank you.
