You should really format your posts, but I'm not going to nitpick :P

That said, are you saying we don't think the draw distance bugs are an issue? They are. No one in their right mind would think that people being magically invisible at (inconsistent and almost arbitrary) distance is a good thing.

However... You lose my support at the notion of any sniper having perfect birds' nests on any map. They're terrible, having any sniper have line of sight to multiple (In most cases, all) objectives at any given time is just poor map design. Plain and simple.

I also have no sympathy for the inability for a sniper to score a OHK on any suit with any HP modules at all. OHK's are a very bad thing in a FPS game, in pretty much any circumstance. Draw distance issues aside, the sniper rifles are hilariously easy to use. Without the annoying bugs like draw distance and headglitching, sniping is just entirely too easy.

Pretty much no recoil to speak of, fast ROF, and no ballistics to worry about that would affect accuracy. Snipers have it easy. Who cares if it takes multiple shots to kill someone? It's more fun that way. The ease of use does not justify them to be any more powerful than they currently are.

Now, don't take this post as a "CPM Told them to nerf snipers" Because, they've never talked to us about snipers, and these are my personal thoughts. That being said... If you're upset that you sent a CPM member a mail and they didn't automatically reply with an agreement of your opinion, then I think you need to take your post to the Feedback/Requests forum and ask for a sniper buff.

This has nothing to do with the CPM, In the slightest.

This has nothing to do with the CPM, In the slightest. We see here in Nova-Knife a perfect example of why appointing people to represent the online community does not work, clearly Nova-Knife wants up close action, thus the name he selected, fortunately this post will surely make sure anyone who owns a sniper rifle would never vote for him in an election and I am thankful for that. High perches aka "Birds Nest" on a battlefield should not give any tactical advantage? Clearly this is basic insanity, often the road to that perch is dangerous to transit and that should get no reward for the risk taken correct? Snipers can be a useful element in any battle like a dropship, hav, lav, or scout but because someone has an aversion to OHKs should I become able to withstand a direct blast from a HAV or a turret on the battlefield? If head shots were not meant to be kill shots why are they counted in a separate category? Nova-Knife do you have any problem with me being blown up by a single remote explosive? Or do you just hate getting dropped in your tracks by a well aimed shot directly to your head? If you stand against OHKs of all kinds then I'll respect your position, I won't agree with it but I'll note your consistency, but if you don't stand against all OHKs I'll know you are just another self obsessed player not deserving of serious consideration, just another "play the game like I like to play" type that are all too common in EVE. With the current nerf the most I can often do in a furious battle is lower the shields so my teammates can get easier kills, and for the most part do not even get kill assists for that, which is very strange in an of itself. So go ahead and keep hating on Snipers, because in the end we will get the last laugh.
