Thats why sniper rifles are broken, the charge sniper costs 2500 ISK. Why is it that the most expensive sniper rifle in the game is 30000 ISK cheaper than the most expensive AR. Sniping has the MOST SURVIVABILITY of all the infantry weapons yet its costs are the same as other infantry weapons. Also the only officer weapon that is viable to use is the thale because there is such a low risk in sniping. I know this will upset snipers but its true, the sniper rifles should be a lot more expensive atleast twice that of the ARs and the likelihood of getting thales should go down.
This isn't a QQ about sniping I have plenty of ehp and I rarely get sniped, my point is solely about the economics of sniping. |

This isn't a QQ about sniping I have plenty of ehp and I rarely get sniped, my point is solely about the economics of sniping. Even if you did increase the ISK value of sniper rifles, as you stated, snipers (at least good ones) rarely die and if they do, maybe once a match. Other than increasing their monthly cost of buying in their rifles, you're not really going to affect them, it's not like an AR, where you can lose 15 a match. SR's aren't broken, it is simply because the majority of players refuse to put down their AR and counter snipe, that is the root of their problems. If 2 or 3 players decided to counter snipe, any self caring sniper is going to be over the hills, to the nearest supply depot and running with the rest of the team.
Thats everyone's response when it comes to sniping and vehicles, If we got more SP or SP cost were lowered then you're right but the problem is that we can't specialize in multiple areas because of SP costs. Do you really expect people to put their SP into snipers to counter snipe, AV to deal with vehicles, and what their preferred method of play is. I am in a large corp so when I'm in a squad there are guys who are these different specialties, my point is for those players who don't have that luxury. Why should I put down my AR when I'm putting up 20 kills while reviving teammates, providing ammo, and repairing people just so I can take care of one guy on the other team who isn't even near the battlefield? |

Your point of view is every ones point of view, why should we be penalized because people won't adapt?I personally have AR skill at lv.5 and proficiency 1, as a back up. I never moan if someone sneaks up and kills me, I just switch to a Duvolle and join the charge. I have spent the SP so that I am flexible, it is each players choice how they spend theirs.
Because the SP costs of "adapting" are ridiculous, not all of us have 10+mil SP. |
