It's going to run it's course naturally. Ramping is only fun when you are the only one with it. If everyone had it then it would be boring again.. Example: There is a team of young kids sponsored by their parents that play at one of my local fields. They all have shockers. And now they all have the rebounding boards. They were showing off at the chrono so I grabbed my Satanically Possessed 03 Angel euro Fly speed. Not sure why but this gun ramps, the TR is all the way down and I've messed with the trigger.. I will not use this gun on a field until it's fixed. I went and I blasted out a Halo in a couple seconds.. Once they realized that their ramping wasn't so special I never heard that characteristic sudden rush of BPS from them. At this point ramping is like owning a fast car, cool for showing off but impractical once everyone has it. For now it's limited to the higher guns but once people ghetto rig it to spyders , tippys, and pirhannas it's going to seem lame.

havok, i agree with you fully... when you have the equipment advantage on the field, you feel superior, but when you have the norm, you dont feel it's even worth haveing what you got.... i play mech at all times now, i used to own electros and enjoyed the speed... i never saw that i was that much better tho with the electros than i am with the mechs, and so it made me question why i was wasting the extra 4 or so bps on shooting at air.... i'm pretty confident in my skills, and it doesnt matter how many bps my opponent can shoot, i'll still get him out through superior play. its the old addage, "how many times per second can you miss me?.." well for most people its a lot.... i generally dont play that much better with a semi auto than a pump... i think that it really comes down to skills in the end...
so let the pros and whomever else wants to join the band wagon of fast shooting markers do such... its a war of attrition and my case of paint will always last longer than theirs... the only limit that i feel that is truely needed is the FPS limit.... it should never exceed 300 fps, and IMO any person caught cheating that limit should be ejected from whatever tourney in which they are breaking the rules...
thats my peice...
faster shooting will always be a fact of life in paintball.... it will be fun to bunker more and more poeple with their hopper lids open as time goes by....

It's an endless circle. There really is no point in replying to threads about ramping. With that said, have fun arguing about it while I go shoot my Shocker with rebound on.Comment

I think they specifically mention this one because, although it can be put in tourney mode, the ramping is very easy to turn on and off in game w/o anyone knowing.Originally posted by 68magOwnerthey banned a cheater chip?

They didn't ban "cheater chips" They banned ALL advantage paintball chips, even if you are using their semi auto only chip, you are still breaking the rules. These chips are identical to the dm4 ones, so there is not much of a chance of being caught. Ramping chips, oh gosh, big deal, life moves on. Once someone gets hurt by these ramping chips maybe I'll change my opinion, but no one has yet so I think it is going to be all ok.
