I seriously don't get it. I mean look at all of the helpful things we do for you:
Intel
We snipers are best at doing this. No Active Scanner nor Scout has the radius of 500+ meters, while also being able to fire back at the same time. Wondering what objective the enemy is pushing? Done. See an RDV flying around but don't know what's being called in? Easy.
You want an extra bonus? CCP's awesome rendering glitch feature allows me to see through walls sometimes! Yes, that's right, I can tell you how many enemies are camped by the entrance too!
Flanking
We can also help flank an objective with you as well. I can take down targets during your push, cutting down the amount of enemies you have to face. If your push fails and you are forced to fall-back or retreat, I can also start popping heads too; which prevents your enemy from pushing forward.
Point Defense
Provided we have a good spot, we can guarantee the locking of an objective. You have to be in one spot to hack, and strafing won't help much when we know you have to remain in one static area in-order to hack the objective.
That crowd of enemies who were just trying to flank you? I can turn it into a mere pair of people.
Demoralization
Yes, I can demoralize the enemy too.
You ever get that nervous feeling when you see a prototype Sniper Rifle on the Killfeed? The very thought that at any second, your expensive suit can be turned into DUST?
When the enemy sees a sniper rifle on the killfeed too many times, they get very nervous. They'll begin to panic and will even try to send people away from the battle to counter-snipe me. But unless they are also "gud" they won't be able too because they don't know all of the true hotspots. But I will enjoy the free kills.
I know that Snipers are one of the few things that still prevent BoundlessVizamImperialDuvolleKalikiotia Rifle 514 to go un-opposed, but please don't hate us for it.
Stop calling us useless because the AFKer in a starter fit decided to grab a sniper rifle. At least give thanks and credit where it's due.

Please, by all means, continue to be completely and utterly useless, not helping your team even a little bit.
I'm also a Logi, Scout, Assault, AVer, and Tanker. But that's besides the point.
How is any of the things in the OP "completely and utterly useless and not helping my team even a little bit?"
At least provide some form of an argument.

So your upset about people who abuse the redline?

I've never seen you snipe. Ever.
We've only played each-other once.
Besides, sniping isn't all I do.

IMO, CCP can really help snipers as a squad mate by buffing damage on sniper rifles. Give my scout a reason not to run dual complex damage mods in my highs, so that I can run some decent shielding and a good pistol.
or you could keep the damage mods and just like double ohko me.
Then the only viable sniper fits would be remain bricked tanked Logi's and heavies.
That's no good.

I use the duvolle tac for cqc sniping and its a total beast.
Most snipers are plain sht mate and we don't even have bullet drop lol.
It's the Kaalikiotia, not Ishukone

Useful sniper. Not impressed. If someone has to use an officer weapon just to be relevant/useful, where other classes dont have to use one, obviously there's something wrong there. Anyone can farm a bunch of blues in pubs with an officer weapon from the redline uncontested.
So I guess that means Sniper Rifles need a buff, right?

Snipers in the red line could also explode into the giant mound of ponies, hearts and carebears that they are as soon as they pull the trigger.

You should also be humble and say thanks to the tankers who combat enemy armor, for the shock troops who get really down and gritty around the objective, for the logis makeing the WP and helping the team to get orbitals, and for the scouts lighting up the map so you can see where to shoot. Sniping by nature is done from as far away as possible, and the majority of snipers do it from the redline. And when there are more than two snipers on the field that's when the team starts to get into trouble. As my main man Crazy Kula loves to say "snipers don't win matches" Especially when so many do it when they give up on a match.
To be fair, i don't mind sniper support. And thanks to the snipers who covered my ass. But its the lowest on the set of priorities of choosing squad mates and how i approach a match.
Thank a tanker? HAHAHAhAHAHAHAHAHAHA No.
Snipers are owed about as much as the logis who keep the team alive and resupplied, as much as the scouts who light up an area, as much as the heavy who prevents the enemy from pushing an objective, as much as the Assaults for pushing an objective, and as much as Dropship Pilots are owed for mobile transport.
I'm not saying they haven't earned their thanks, but we we just want the credit where it's due.
Snipers don't win matches? So locking down an objective preventing almost any hack won't win a match for you? Keeping the enemy off the high ground spamming explosives won't contribute to winning a match?
Don't ever become an FC.

Nearly everything in this game can be easily replicated by other modes and methods. That doesn't really mean anything.
Nothing will stop people from playing the game.

It's rather hilarious.
Everyone calls the sniper useless, but I've yet to see somebody actually disprove the OP with more than a childish "NO!" statement.
I guess that means snipers are useful and 90% of the DUST community are a bunch of elitist pricks.

That won't even be possible come 1.8.
