This is becoming ridiculous. There are too many redlline snipers in domination out there getting fat. They really don't help their team at all, just themselves and their kdr. I have seem a 60-2 in a domination before, and he lost.

IN one regard I see your point in the fact that the hypothetical sniper did their job, but in reality they only did half of it.

The issue here is that the pay outs for the public matches are ludicrously low now since the 1.4 update. One has to accrue over 2000 WP in order to make over 250k ISK.

People are redline sniping because they are afraid to loose their precious suits, and that is because protogear, in an al together sort of way, is expensive. The expense is as it should be. This display of aversion to loss by people is what has pushed them into sniping.

This is where the arguments for PVE and player trading would come into play in order to diversify the player base through the diversification of the game modes.

Just saying my .02 ISK

90% of the time, redline snipers are in it for themselves. 90% of the time snipers in DUST are in it for the KDR.

And 90% of the time these snipers will have themselves on top of the leaderboards with their super high body counts.

And yes, a sniper can get 60 kills and still lose a game.

You suggest to have us change fits at a supply depot to counter snipe you? How many times do you change fits to do something when your team needs your help other than to feed your KDR? A lot of these players drop in a match to play their favorite roles just as YOU. The difference is that they'll need to come to you and you don't need to come to them. No problem. The PROBLEM is there's this radioactive territory that protects you and kills the health of anyone who dares enters your SAFE ZONE that there's no way for them to reach you. And if there happens to be no supply depot lying around because some redline tanker decides to pop it. Your suggesting for us to commit suicide just to change fits and "ADAPT". That's great. We'll commit suicide for you while you risk nothing sitting pretty shooting targets at a theme park.

If redline counter sniping was SOOOOOO easy to do for everyone, then why is it that SOOOOO many snipers are sniping with an officer grade weapon such as the Thales? I'll tell you why. It's because they know that redline sniping is the safest spot to be and poses very very very.....did I say very? Yes I did....very very little risk.

]In the real world of sniping there are no redlines to protect the sniper. And though this is a game, the intentions was to recreate similar tactics and scenarios as in the real world.
