PAINTBALL.. how long can it last?

[meezee]

other sports is just a sport. we like playing it. we have fun. we sweat. but in most situation, we dont get into the game. we just go out and play. but to start the game, of course we buy few gears; for soccer, we will buy soccer boots. tennis, we buy racket and ball. hockey, we buy stick. basketball, we just go to the field, then play. what i mean is, it's kind of easy to start any game/sports nowadays. but as I said, we are not INTO the sport. we jusy like it. we play. but our heart is not there. for some, YES.

for paintball, it's not just a sport. it's more than that. even when u read this article, u already start to think, "which category paintball falls into? sport? X-game? leisure? lifestyle? hobbies?".. even when i went to bookstores in KL, I seldom found paintball magazine on the SPORT shelves. sometimes on lifestyle, sometimes on motorcycle shelves, sometimes it just appears on gun & pistol shelves. even the shopper dont really know where to display paintball magazines!
guys, look.. paintball falls under what category u want it to be. You choose. U decide from start. let say u play your very first game, what do u fell after that?

1) very damn excited. this kind of people will start to enter the paintball life.
2) im having fun. he will play again for 2nd or 3rd time with same feelings. the adrenaline stagnant. but he might turn into group no. 1.
3) hhmm.. ok la. but sakit sikit. this type of people, u just can see him play ocassionally. eg; family day, team building.
4) tak suka la. sakit! taknak la. ok, this one.. no need to talk la. he/she will be a bit richer than u who play paintball, of course! haha

ok, now u think what group are u in? are u the one who spend more than 3 hours daily on the internet, surfing "russian legion and dynasty or one gun with maximus"??
or are u the person who keep SMSing proshop salesman asking for prices and gears again and again, even in midnite??
or are u the one who enter hundred of paintball forums, searching for infinity information about this paintball world??

if you are this type of person, then you are falls into category no. 1.

attention to this group and those who want to join this group (i'm also in this category, and still survive! but tired swimming...). this is the time that all of us will decide our path in paintball. either we survive, or we sink. frankly say, I say this sport is F**cking sh*t! because everything is so expensive, BUT I already INTO this paintball, and keep looking forward to it. I cant stop or pause. Im getting more and more excited in paintball. and I guarantee, thousands of people out there is having the same feelings as mine.

from my opinion, to survive, we plan our expenses on paintball stuff. most people didnt plan so wise when it comes to paintball gears. as for me, marker, loader and tank is the most important things to have. these 3 things, last longer. tidak reput, tidak luntur, of course. but after a while, maybe we should change our loader bcoz of cracks, feedneck loose, etc. but that will happen after 3-4 years. marker? yeah, no doubt that all company producing markers never say that their product will last only for 3 months, or 12 months, or disposable (throw after you game!). everytime u buy markers, the body will last FOREVER!! tank? hydrotest after 5 years. no big deal. play as many as u like. but after 5 years, hydrotest.

ok, now you have marker, loader and tank. "meezee, if this is the expenses, how can we sink in this paintball games??" yeah, you're right. everyone will survive in this game for quite a long time if this is the case. if we control our expenses wise and spend wise, we can stay longer. "meezee, u havent answer my question..." OK, OK... there will be time when u (that includes me) start to change your marker again and again as new products come by, start to change your loader again and again as new products come by and start to buy new tank as light as the new product come by until u get the lightest tank, the fastest loader, the most accurate marker in the universe!! yeah, im blaming myself for cannot control everytime i see new products coming in. this attitude is really really bad in paintball. this habits KILLS your interest in paintball. this culture will make u SINK and suffocate. u have to control this. this is not good at all. i saw many people doing this, upgrading their loaders, markers, tank again and again within short time of period. even 2-3 months before start tournament, they already upgrade their gears and they put away the stock one which they havent use! and then , after the tournament, they upgarde again. and so on.

it's ok to upgrade. yeah upgarde means u want to have better markers, more comfortable, so u can shoot better and play better.

PLAY BETTER KA??? WHUT!!!???hello??!!... u automatically can play better if u use ego 09 ka? u can snapshoot better if u use droid ka? u can dive and slide better if u buy STAKO tank ah? so easy meh?? with money u can play better ma? hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha... so easy this game. only rich people can win if like this.

NO! u cant improve your gamepaly and skill if u ONLY upgrade your markers. i repeat... U CANNOT. guys, wake up. stop upgrading nonsense setting on your marker. stop membeli membuta tuli barang2 paintball just by listening to others without experience it. players, marker gives u only 10%-15% chances of winning in the game. I repeat, 10%-15% chances!.. where are the 85% goes? aiya.. ini pun mau tanya ka?? u tengok Ronaldo main bola. dia punya boot rm600-rm700 punya harga ma. tapi u rasa kalau dia pakai boot harga rm150, u rasa dia punya performance drop ka? no way! ronaldo plays like he use to play. he will play as hard as he wears the rm600 boots. he play with skills and brain. that is how you should play paintball. improve your skills. learn more how to play in various position. learn how to handle pressure. but paling penting... ini betul2 paling penting... JOIN TOURNAMENT MA!!!! adoh... tidak guna beli barang mahal2 if u dont play in tournament. the pressure, the experience while playing in tournament is totally different than weekly training we play at our local field. dont waste you rm3000 marker in your car or store. use it. play like hell.

the time will come when we will have difficult time in life. we live in reality world. we have responsiblities. we have car to pay. we have credit cards to settle. we have house rental to pay every months. we have parents that we need to take care of. we have wife and children that we need to feed them and send them to school. all of this requires MONEY. when this time come to us, this is the time most of us fail to survive and sink. this is the time we regret to play paintball. then we start to question ourself "why I spent so much on this, on that, on loader, on tank.. bal.. bla.." we started to hate paintball. then, there you go..... no more paintball. dont blame paintball. u know it is an expensive game. not just expensive, but f**king expensive. blame yourself. u cant blame proshop for selling u with high price. they also want to have profits. dont blame field owner for selling expensive pellets. dont blame credits cards company for giving so much interest. blame yourself. you control your own expenses. YOU! YOU! YOU!

this is not a cindrella stories. this is dilemma. this is attitude. this is reality on what happen in paintball world. if only u decide wisely at the very beginning, u will survive and happy playing paintball for many many years to come. paintball is a promising game. with bright future. ONLY if we can choose the correct path for it.

NPPL just declared bancrupt. no more super 7, no more 5 mens NNPL.

so, guys... HOW LONG CAN IT LAST??
