Nobody seems to stick and move in Crucible (Destiny)

At the same time I think snipers can also get overconfident. Too many times I'll ping them once or twice with a four shot kill gun and they'll step back out before their shields are recharged. Or they take one too many shots and flee way too late. It's especially silly when they do kill me... and then stay in the exact same spot. I don't care if I have the best line of sight in the world, if I kill you from somewhere you will not find me there next time. Maybe I'll just move one field of view to the left or maybe I'll be at a completely different angle, but sniping from the same spot is a death sentence no matter how good your location is.

I know I'm especially guilty of peaking, but what I always kick myself for is not changing my engagement point after I've broken cover to fire my sniper. Just moving twenty feet to the left can make a huge difference when sniping. I actually like that about NLB; you have to spend a few seconds chambering a round, so it's a nice reminder to move and take your next shot from anywhere else.
