F2P has to stop.

Literally, all I've played against today is Hackers. You cant even report them because guess what? ITS FREE TO PLAY WEEKEND>.

    These free to play weekends are pretty mind-numbing honestly. I don't play on PS4 very often so I'm usually low Rank on PS4.

    Oh man. The potato was real.

    It's something you have to deal with for every game out there trying to attract new players by dealing with them and reporting them.Just because it's f2p doesn't mean their Steam accounts don't get flagged and if it's proven they hacked Steam can and will go after them if they get enough valid reports.

    With the new ranking system now in play it's even less bearable, because a huge chunk of the players are stuck at rank 20 with all the F2Ps.

    Oh no that’s not due to the free weekends that’s normal  :( It’s why I always play with at least one person

    At the end of the day it needs to be done to attract new players which will in the long run benefit us all; less time waiting in lobbies, more money for development etc

    I've been at the 2nd tier countless times about to finally rank and then either get a complete bunch of boob, a killer that camps 1 hooked survivor and the rest either don't realize it or don't care and so killer gets me since I'm only 1 doing gens. There's also the op killers on certain maps especially the higher ranked ones.

    I know I would have never picked up this game without the F2P weekends. Multiplayer games just aren't my thing, but a free weekend helped me realize this particular game was something I enjoy. They are a necessary evil, I'd say. One weekend of subpar games for a bigger community in the future.
    Like powerbats said though, hackers can/should still be reported.

    You realize thay the hackers probably made fresh accounts before playing this for free right? Meaning that you are reportibg an empty account that will be immediately discarded.  
      
    Or does steam have something to prevent this?

    Steam can still track it and has been able to for quite some time since most of them use the same root install to login into the new account. Same friends on list etc etc.
