Is paintball taken too seriously?

[Disco ECI]

i was just trying to say that i am prepared to fork out the money but is there anyway that tornament paintball can be made cheaper?

Unfair, pick up your phone and start ringing round...it's easy.
And that's 15 pounds not Euros by the way.

This actually leads into a whole new discussion as to whether Paintball actually is too expensive or whether todays paintballers are spoilt brats who expect everything for next to nothing?

I've been hugely lucky, I came straight into paintball recently into an established team which is heavily subsidised by the owner ,and through decent sponsorship. If I didn't have this then it would be more difficult but I'd still go out and do it, and I realise I'm pretty dam lucky to be in the position I'm in.

If I lived in england it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper to play tournaments as I could hop in my car and play one most weekends, living on a rock you need to add £150+ for flights each time so that hikes the cost.

I don't think paintball is hugely expensive, yeah if you need to have the best marker and the best paint and all the shiny bits then it'll get pricey, but for a regular player it aint too bad.

if u dont want top Quality paint then ull find it no problems for £15,infact if u look around ull find it for a TENNER........

but i think for what its worth and it aint worth sh*t,but its all about if u want to play,not about taken things to serioudly,like playing footie on Sunday,then if u want maybe try Saturday , which demands more dedication and time,which in short costs u more money......i think? but like i tell the guys i play paintball with ,yes we want to win,but the minute it isnt fun for me or the team then we will stop,thats our level,now Robbos lot there in a different class so yes the need to take things alittle bit more seriously.

Seriously,if u want to play then play,but keep it real ,leave all this Pro stuff to the Pros,and just enjoy the game.....if it comes down to money then just slow down and enjoy what u can do rather than kicking the arse out of it for like 6 months then finding u cant keep it up and the resenting it...

My serious is different to maybe urs so lets all have fun..
