Suggestions/Comments:
I have many comments on this so I will try to section them seperately.
X-Ray Shot Window:
This is a pretty feature but that is all, I imagine most people drag it as off-screen as they can. When I esc the window it just reloads as soon as I aim again its QUITE annoying.
My suggestion is to just remove it.
Shot Reload Minigame:
Possibly the most annoying minigame in BDO. I cant imagine anyone likes this or finds it at all engaging. The constant switching from Scope-Minigame-Scope is just disorienting at best.
My suggestion is a complete revamp, changing the minigame to something else. Anything else!
Guru Level Hunting Benefit Means Nothing:
If the above is simply shot down then I have to mention, having an additional shot on the sniper rifle is absolutely pointless with the reloading mini-game/being attacked auto reload. I dont think theres much more to say on this.
My suggestion is to increase the shot reload gauge so it is easier to reload during the reload mini-game.
Sniper Rifle Hunting Is Currently Counter-Intuitive:
The whole point of a sniper/long range rifle is to shoot something at a long range, however currently people are killing at a distance consistent with the matchlock. Sniper hunting made sense with the deer hunting area in Balenos with them being spooked and disappearing, requiring a decent distance. With the monsters in LoML when you aggro them they run towards you, if you miss enough shots or are simply too close to begin with, which in my experience happens anyways due to respawning monsters, you are now using a scope to shoot a monster at pointblank range in the face. This makes little to no sense at all.
My suggestion for this, which is honestly the weirdest part of the whole experience, is either switch it to matchlock hunting, or overhaul the monsters or sniper hunting system. The only reason this area is popular at the moment is for the crystals, the money is nice but the annoyance you suffer for it is just too much. Once everyone has their crystals this area will be abandoned like so many others.
Having 2 Monsters Aggro:
If two monsters aggro to you you are trying to scope in and shoot either of them in the face and it is just a fluster cluck in this situation, if its more than 2 easier to just reset them and return after you lose aggro, again very counter-intuitive and just an irritation.
The Damage From Tigers:
The damage is off the charts, having 5k hp and being reduced to 800 in one attack with TET Manos Hunters clothes is insane. I dont think I need to explain this further.
My suggestion is to simply reduce the damage from it.
Conclusion:
Sniper hunting is in desperate need of swift change as is hunting in general, every part of it feels outdated and clunky I include matchlock hunting in this but at least matchlock hunting doesnt drive you crazy with an irritating reload minigame, a disorienting scope system, incredibly high damage from monsters in a lifeskill, an obese and intrusive Xray shot window that noone cares about and if you are a high level hunter getting no benefit from your high level hunting except for increased resources. I dont have great solutions for these things, I admit that, but something needs to be done.
Kind Regards,

1) How are you moving the x-ray window? Nothing I do has moved it anywhere.
2) Not a fan of the minigame either. One improvement would be to make the yellow range large based on your hunting level. Guru 1 should be like half the gauge, guru 50 maybe 75%?
3) There should be some visual indication that the monsters running towards the sound of gunfire are aggro, and not just going to run by you. Shooting a tiger, then seeing 2 bears running at you too is a pucker moment.
4) Agree about the tiger damage, should be cut in half, or much better drops from it.
5) There are also a few places where the "elite" mobs simply fall into the earth, or constantly reset.

you can drag it like any window if you "catch" it right at the top where there technically isnt anything to be seen if you catch my drift? try go for the very top right corner and yeet it off screen xD
With the minigame thats what i suggested, but it would just be guru 1 to get the benefit, same as matchlocks, since having 2 shots in a sniper is a pointless benefit right now as it is.
