Do poorer people make better paintballers?

[jack_judge]

Just thinking on my way home from work. If your a paintballer of any age and your paintball allowance is either low or restricted do you recieve more from a days paintball? Do you see the 40 pounds you have worked for worth trying as hard as possible to get as much fun for your mun as possible. Do wealthier paintballers have a lackadaisical approach to paintball with the mentality i will try harder next week or tomorrow? Your thoughts please my gooseberry eyed cherubs!

In my opinion, because I can hardly afford to play, I do feel that I must make the most of any time I'm able to play, like calling out players twice as good as myself, also I'm constantly having to borrow paint/money/time from my team for me o play, all thi means I feel the need to play harder to make up for all of it.

Yeah i hear you i would say my income isnt low but restricted towards paintball many of my best friends in paintball have low income and try so hard and are great players because of it but i have seen the same with richer players. But i must say i have seen a lot of people with enough money to warrent not playing as much or as hard as possible and sundays become a gentlemens club where rates start from 50 pounds

Nah I think you have it the wrong way. No matter what your income or playing level, you end up spending more than you should on paintball. This just makes me work harder on getting more money together to feed the habit

being a student also i simpathise also i find that people like me who work hard to afford their gear take much better care of it then the players with the "i can just buy a new one if it breaks" mentality, this i think also makes these people a$$h0les

Good question.

Ask Stu Wilson, he'll tell you.

The Dynasty kids are all pretty well-off. For the most part they were originally 'trust-fund-kids'. They could afford to play every week, and didn't have the distraction of 'jobs'. They did pretty well.
