Sorry, didn't realise we weren't supposed to express our opinions too. My mistake.
People are just discussing the thread, not always having a go at you........ so you don't really need to defend yourself like that every time someone posts something new....
so, OK, you've changed your POV, fine, but lots of other people still take exception to newbies buying new kit......... I was at a practice a few weeks back, seasoned players were coughing "punter" under their breath whenever certain "newbies" took to the field.......it was horrible, great way to encourage new people to the sport.
Great that you've changed your mind, but it's still an interesting thread worth posting on.
Also, what's wrong with a poor player buying himself good kit? if he still enjoys the sport who gives anyone the right to take it from him? any of us playing PRO? then surely we don't deserve to be using top end kit either. I don't fool myself into believing paintball will ever be more than a weekend thing for me, I love it and I'm improving but it's still just fun. Didn't stop me from getting my E-blade though.
