Whenever this thread comes to the top now, I get a feeling of impending (financial) Doom

Best put it at the end of that list...

I've said it before but the people that annoy me the most are the ones that get all shirty because you're not "doing it properly". It's a game. It's supposed to be fun. If you come to an open day event and expect everyone to be a Milsimmer then you're going to be disappointed/upset/abused. If you get upset because there's too many kids running about with bright orange "toy guns" then maybe you need to move on to a different site (let's not forget that a £300 G&G is STILL a "toy gun") and a different style of play.
 
Maybe it's just being a bit older but I just can't get that annoyed by people at a game that aren't playing the same way as I am unless they're just being total dicks and you don't need to be a "CoDsofter" to act like a dick. In fact I've seen more "me big serious soldier, me wear multicam everything" types acting like dicks because they just got pwned by a kid with a see through G36.
 
There is room for all of us on the battlefield of plastic death so get on and enjoy the game/sport/hobby for what it is and let's stop the infighting before it destroys it all for everyone.

So what's your beef, that their parents can afford to buy them £2,000 PTWs? If so, dry your eyes and move on, there's always someone with more money/better car/fitter wife.
 
Be happy with what you've got and plan for what you want to get, ignore those who have greater means, theirs or those they're borrowing from others.
