      crappy refs

      field owners that don't take care of thier refs

      buying something brand new and having to send it in for repair within a month

      sandbagging pro's that cop attitudes at local tourneys

      hype

      misconcieved ideas

      indifference to safety

      Florida peeps...step up!!

            Worst part of playing paintball? I'd say it sounds like this.

            "Its an E-Mag"
            "No, not a weird Angel"
            "Yes, E-Mag"
            "Yes, it shoots fast"
            "E - MAG"
            "Sure, you can try it, yes I know its heavy"
            "E-MAG"
            Or better yet, why don't you kill yourself. No, really, die. Drop dead, don't leave a note, in fact burn your house while your little ego is stuck in a bench vice so that you'll also incenerate yourslef and everything you own with it. Because that's all you're worth. You're not even wirh thte time it'll take for the house to burn down, so just kill yourself. You're a waste of space. You are nothing, you always will be nothing. Don't leave a note, you're not worth the ink. - Tyger

              the fact that there are absolutly NO restrictions on the new technology. In baseball, a corked bat gives you an unfair advantage. In wrestling, their are weight classes. In paintball its "get the latest technology, or be forced to have a huge dissadvantage" I love the fact that it is perfectly accepted to have a bouncy 25 + bps marker on the same field with a mechanical mag, cocker, spyder, or "slow" 13 bps 2002 angel. The manufactures are running the sport, and no organized form of defense has been even attempted.

                Loss of innocence.

                Teams learning to cheat.

                Players disposing of thier accountability to the ref staff.

                Truth be told tho, for all the problems with paintball, in the end it's still better than laser tag.

                      People that swear mostly cause they think they are cool when it really doesn't help and leads to fights (i have seen about 3 fists in all 5 years....they were pretty good :)...i mean... )

                        sure i have little pet peeves but the one thing that tweeks me is how bad things are designed and made.

                        think about it though would any other consumer take the bs of having to tweek and fix a thousand dollar product every other time they wanted to use it

                                i agree with other about the bad attitudes and cheating and how the industry glorifying it. (look at the vforce ad;it has lasoya with a hundred hits on him)

                                but for my contribution to this thread, the worst thing in paintball is the the price fixing on the retail side by many manufacturers. It used to be $132 for a tippmann 98 but now its 139 for the lowest advetised price.( i remember when prices were $119) Also Prices for dye matrixes, impulse, shockers, and many other markers are fixed. I thought price fixing was illegal but i guess they probably "suggest" this to price to buinesses and then tell them if you don't sell it for the L.A.P. set by that manufacturer; that manufacturer won't sell to that business any more of there product. I still think it's price fixing.

                                That's my rant for the night :)
