So there's been a lot of debate on the forums in year 2 over sniper rifles and their effectiveness in PvP.
This poll isn't to see if people think they should be nerfed per se (solutions could just as easily be buffs to counter weapons/primaries), but to just see if people believe there's a problem.
Bungie have obviously made attempts at balancing them already with ammo changes that ended up only jacking up PvE.
So what do you think, is sniping a problem in the current meta?

Yes. But only because all the game's other weapons have been nerfed to the point where their TTK is either too long, or their performance is too unreliable. So basically snipers are free to move around the map, safe in the knowledge that (unless they make a big mistake) the only real (gun-based) threat to them is from another sniper.
