Do snipers destroy rp?

[Awide]

Since airdrops came a lot of people collected snipers and been able to kill their enemies from far distance without being in range to even interact with them. This behavior seems to incentivize deathmatching, since you're much safer and you can /loot whoever like this. I wanted to see your view and opinions to decide if we should do something. Please reply back and add your opinion as a vote.

I suggest making them rare, or making their ammo super rare instead so people don't just "ooh this guy said fuck your mom imma go snipe him yea!" but rather use it as a last resort when close/medium range interactions have failed.

[contingency]

yes

remove em & keep county rifles

Removing them is not really necessary, just make that shit super rare. Also the drops should be like 1 daily with a chance of kevlars, sniper or m4s only but the sniper chance should be like 25%

Yes they do.

People just camp with Snipers and that's it, there's no actual interaction in shootouts.

It even ruined the fear element from faction RP, knowing that you can just camp your base with a rifle and pick out people like they're nothing with a sniper that legit 1 shots people.
There's no sense fear or regret, just get a sniper and camp your base.

Back then, when snipers weren't that common.

There's a very big sense of fear when interacting with other factions. I used to lead CDS and everytime we interact with a stronger faction like Sparta Battalion for example, we show a lot of fear during our interaction because we indeed know that these guys can destroy us in seconds and we didn't have snipers to camp in our base and cheese them out.
People just camp in their bases now and that's it. No sense of fear or interaction.


Plus shootouts were more fun and fair, it was always close combat with either AKs and M4s and it was a lot more fun that way and much better than just playing peak-a-bo with sniper rifles.


So yeah, remove them entirely or nerf the damage to 40 each shot so we can atleast compete with them.

I feel that snipers are a part of possible ease of DM mentality, but not the whole cause, DMers will DM because they have that toxic mentality, Id say tightening up on DM mentality would be better than stripping a weapon. Also like the others said, make snipers something which players would have to think twice about taking out and possibly losing during robberies or death.
