Uh..m I am going to offer a dissenting view on this subject. Strictly speaking, Sniping in PvP takes a different value of player skill than traditional gameplay. To be an effective sniper in PvP, you need a certain degree of reaction speed and awareness. Players who lack rapid reaction speed (like myself) will not be able to snipe anyone in PvP regardless of what sniper they use. Even the revered/reviled 1000 Yard Stare won't make a player with low reaction speed into a successful sniper. Simply because something requires a different skill set to be successful doesn't make it not take skill. I will never be a good PvP sniper because my skill set bars me from becoming one.
