u/Magyst Sorry for tagging you specifically, but none of the other Epic staff ever responds on here so I don't have much choice.

I'm so, so tired of a lot of this game's community. I'm sick of the children that constantly leech. I'm sick of the children that would rather trade and put obnoxious boxes around me than actually play the game. I'm sick of children intentionally building walls in front of my Teddy to keep it from ever damaging husks. I'm sick of all the human garbage that outright griefs missions by destroying/opening builds around the objective.

I shouldn't have to play on private just to avoid this sh*t and the fact that I see some of it even in late Twine is completely ridiculous. I report literally every problematic player I come across, but none of them are ever punished. I can say that for sure because I keep track of some of them. Why do this to us? I know the whole "Epic doesn't care" mindset has been around for ages, but does Epic at least understand how f*cking bad this looks? If you don't care, then just remove the damn report option and be done with it.

Doubt I'll bother responding to anyone unless by some miracle an Epic employee actually does respond. I just needed to rant. I'm so, so tired of this sh*t and after three and a half years of the community getting progressively worse I genuinely don't even know why I bother continuing to log in.

Not true :) I definitely understand how frustrating it is to come in contact with players who show this kind of behavior. I would say to continue to report these players, for sure.

I've raised these concerns to the correct people and we'll take a look at the reporting system to make sure it's functioning as intended and there aren't any lingering bugs with the system.

u/ListenToKPOP Thank you for taking the time to share these experiences and make me aware.

While it's nice that you're here, these exact words have been spoken over and over for the last 3+ years. Can we get any sort of guarantee that something will be done?

We've got a team digging in and discussing improvements as I type this.

Currently, I don't have a timeline as the team has been analyzing the system over the past few days.. but there's definitely some issues we're tracking to fix / improve on.

Hi u/Magyst , I don't want to be impertinent, but I think one of the big problems is trading in public games, especially in stonewood and in plankerton (I'm doing the challenge, play with others and 95% of the time the players don't start the mission or help for being enclosed in wooden boxes level 1 for trading) , I am not against trading but I think there is a place for everything, it should be allowed in storm shields but not in public games, please activate the feature of Venturas "of not being able to drop any item" at least in stonewood and plankerton.

Regarding the problems that they are tracking to solve, I think that I will never tire of asking for this, please fix the survivor bonus, I hope to see this one day

I'm with you on this one! I definitely push on this one quite a bit. We've got a long list of QOL things we're working on. Survivor Bonuses is definitely a system we want re-visit, same with Expeditions.

Right now we're taking a look at bringing up some of the under performing Hero perks. I'll definitely keep that chat of Survivor Bonuses alive.
