Why do high prestige level survivors always refuse to play the game?
I've lost count of the number of matches with P40+ survivors will crouch everywhere, not do generators, not unhook anyone, try to harass the killer, lead the killer to the rest of their team, or just generally refuse to partake in actual survivor goals. Every time I get one of those matches, the end game always shows P40s and up. P100s in particular seem to give up immediately the second they lose a health state, immediately making the game a 3v1 and all but guaranteeing a loss unless the Killer takes pity on the rest of the team.
I don't have anyone above P6, so is there something about being a high prestige level that makes you play this way? Or are these people just bored and figure ruining the game for everyone else is the best use of their time?

Possibly boredom, might have played the game long enough they don't find it fun so they find other means of enjoyment.
Possibly killer mains thats still pretty new to survivor role. P100 is not a reflection of skill or anything it's just how much BP they throw at that one character. I can P100 several survivors while only playing killer just by throwing BP on the survivors.
Possibly because they have enough experience to predict how a match is going to go so they don't bother wasting time in a futile match.
Possibly they are trying to do adepts or other challenges like stun the killer or blinds and when they know it's a killer like nurse that bypasses pallets and much harder to stun than someone like trapper they just don't bother and try their luck in the next match.
Possibly because it's simply how they play, sometimes playing selfishly, not saving a useless team mate and avoiding getting into chases helps to be the last survivor remaining for hatch.
I have found it's not high prestige players that do this, globes/console players seem to be the frequent culprits in my matches.
Still Prestige level does not tell anything about the player other than they have wasted a lot of bloodpoints on one character. Still its not that hard to get a character to high prestige in this game. People play how they play prestige has nothing to do with it.
Why do people always generalize about all players based on a few bad experiences in their recent matches?
It's pattern recognition. Stereotypes exist for a reason.
It's safe to assume he doesn't literally mean all P100's. It's like you said- he's just basing it off those he's encountered, but unfortunately it's a significant amount.
