I have always enjoyed sniping in Destiny and I personally have been getting sick and tired of all these nerf sniper posts. Hopefully this will help inform the uninformed before they make themselves look idiotic again.

The reason Snipers are so common now is because they haven't been nerfed, while everything else has. So they're at maximum power while everything else is toned down. When people are given very little choice in terms of weapon preference, they go to the next best thing, which in this case, is a weapon that hasn't been nerfed. They're supposed to reward a skilled hand, not a blind firing maniac, which is exactly how they're being used.
