Sure. It allows you to win. But anyone can do it, and it ruins the game for other people. So what's the point in having it? The goal of the server should be to create a fun place to DM. Not to provide butthurt noobs a place to get their KD up in the only way they can; awping people who don't necessarily want to awp all the time.

It's undeniable that the game is much deeper with the other weapons, otherwise, most servers (not just limited to WL servers) would not have a 1 awp / 1 autosniper rule. Thus, by allowing anyone to freely get an awp, the depth of the game is indeed greatly reduced. I can't believe anyone would even try to argue with this, or try to turn it around in to a good thing somehow.
