Remove perk tiers already
With perk tiers the grind gets bigger and bigger with each released chapter, also it removes some creative space for perk design, some perks are given bad or unnecesary effects, just because Developers needed to add some value to scale with the tier of the perk...
For example Discordance for Killers and Empathy for Survivors, both perks could be without the range limit and be map wide, because it's technically already map wide, also it would make the description much nicer to look at.
Or another example, Undying and Lightborn, both perks have aura reading abilities just because they needed the effects to scale with the tier of the perk, Undying could live without it's aura reading ability, it actually takes the place from another hex perk, Thrill of the Hunt, who would use this perk now when Undying is a thing? Lightborn's aura reading really doesn't make any sense, since you can see the Survivor who is blinding you with your eyes, so why even have the aura reading? And when they know that you have Lightborn, they would probably not ever try to blind you again...
I really hope perk tiers will be removed sooner than later (or never), thank you for reading!

NO, I will agree that the grind in this game is too much but removing perk tiers is a awful idea. It will decrease the grinding to a point where new players won't see perks after a certain level and old players with all perks can easily get them all and run meta.
Making the meta more common across all ranks is the last thing this game needs, a better idea is to be able to upgrade perks to the next tier at the cost of a lot of bp.
Also the effect of tiers increasing certain values of a perk is not a problem in fact that's how it should be since obviously a higher level perk will be better than it's lower version. If you have a problem with a perk or you think it needs to be buffed it can be done easily with the tier system.
They can always add more general perks or convert some teachables into general perks, so new players have more things to work with, they still need to grind shards or buy these characters for their perks, shrine of secrets isn't really raliable resource of meta perks.
Also without perk tiers it would actually be worth to prestige characters.
