I don’t think it bothers anyone, not even the level 1 players as they know if they want sniper they should pay for it. Besides, sniper is a VIP feature, vips should be able to get it in any class, that’s the thing which distinguishes them from non vip players in terms of weapons. They should of course have a slight OP thing over others as they are called vips. So the whole idea does not make sense, maybe if you would demand the removal of the whole civilian group/class thing, then maybe it would. Still if you compare them with others, civilians are weak. You should consider short distances also, quick sniper shot can give them the advantage of stunning a player, if this is removed then the whole civilian idea must be removed with it. As they will become very weak with having only walking weapons. Still if you think long range distances are advantageous for civilians then skipping the sniper shots are also easy. So, it’s not the best idea to remove sniper from civilians. Hence, my vote is -1.
