People who throw a marker in a bag at the end of a days play, then expect you to help when it doesn't work 5 minutes before a game. Or even worse, when they've tried to fix it and got a table covered in bits for you to put together.

Anyone who speaks (in real life or on forums) in any kind of gangsta or text-speak makes me want to commit murder.

But the lowest of the low are people who rip off fellow ballers on forum classifieds.

As someone who runs a field I never see this. I see a whole lot more rec ballers turning their noses up at ALL the "pros" who wipe every hit, over shoot every opponent, spout every 4 letter word, and club baby seals in their spare time.
[Note: My field does not mix these 2 species.]
Case in point; I got dragged to a scenario game a few years back and while my boys walked along a trail I paralleled them in the woods knowing eventually we'd run into something. When we did I had all the retreating scenario ballers running by me on their way to safety. One decided to stand his ground against me, he shot at me, I shot him, he kept shooting AT me, I kept shooting HIM. One of his balls (the only ball) hit a small bush and sprayed my leg, "GET OUT, YOU'RE HIT!!!!!" he yelled in his camo jacket I made look like the loudest of Hawaiian shirts.
Back in the staging area I'm sure he regaled his compatriots the story how some "pro" cheated.

People who think they know about paintball and then feel the need to teach others.
All it does is spread Bull****.

People who play one tourney and then go asking for sponsorship.

Site owners who declare there is 'no money in paintball'......

Site owners who do not invest in customer care and if any of you tight-arsed site owners read this, go down Russ Steele's site nr Bristol and see what real investment in the customer base means, see what a professional attitude achieves, and then ask yerself this, why is Russ a hugely successful businessman?

And when you half-wit site Del Boy site-owners eventually come up with the answers, the known cosmos will have already contracted :rolleyes:

Industry people who say they sponsor teams when all they do is sell paint to them at a lower margin and in doing so destabilize the whole market place.
Some of these people then walk around as though they are the big 'I am's' believing they are some sort of philanthropic benefactor, they are a joke !

Designer gun cheats and also the industry people who lie through their back teeth in denying they know anything about their sponsored teams using these boards and yet they supply them......makes me wanna vomit.

Armchair experts.

People who are ignorant and come on here as if they know everything.

Players who try to act tough on the paintball field but if it really came on top for them and they actually had to go at it, they would need a diaper.

Bonus ballers, if you wanna hurt somebody get in the ring and be a man and not behave like some pathetic little coward.

I hate our sport of Paintball being portrayed having anything to do with recballers in the woods with cammo, we are sportsmen, not a bunch of wannabee Rambos, it truly embarrasses me.

Players who spend hours and hours talking about this marker and that marker and this upgrade and that.....blah, blah......frikkin blah...when they should spend more time deliberating HOW they play and not what they play with.

People who say they train and all they do is play paintball.

I could go on........:)

People that dont seem to understand that paintballs not a free ride and that it doesnt matter a **** that your skint -if you want to play -you've got to pay, you cant just walk in to the game and expect everything for nothing, no other sport in the world has so much "sponsorship" all respect to the people that are good enough to make it to the point where they dont have to buy they're gear,paint etc, but you dont deserve it straight away,riding on the back of people that have spent thousands of pounds on paintball to get there perks is not cool... nobody's due you anything you've got to earn it .it's a big nasty world out there and if you ask it for hand out's its going to tell you to **** off
