My Old Man Yells At Cloud moment

There's a couple fields near me with the same pricing and even when I say I'm using 12grams and not their air they still make you pay for air. I've argued and they said there wasn't even a way in the system to just charge for entry and not air. Definitely infuriating, just add $5 to the cost of entry!

Same..... Irony I've had to fill my own CO2 tanks on occasion

Most fields include air now this place is a dinosaur

Most fields I've been to in the last 20 years have gone to self-service, free air just because it's one less task for their referees and other employees to have to deal with.

Yeah it seems dumb to me unless this is one of those NE fields that gets stock class players regularly.

If I show up with 12ies or even full tanks then I’m left scratching my head wondering why I’m being asked to pay for something I don’t need. If the price is
just $35 then this doesn’t even come up. It just seems silly to me. But I’m just a simple caveman, society’s ways frighten and confuse me.

You are 100% right that it's mildly irritating and also an "old man yells at clouds" moment. But what is MCB if not a forum of old men yelling at our personal clouds (from time to time)

After a weekend of paintball insanity I found myself having the bug to actually play with some sort of regularity (I know. a WILD concept) and on my journey I came across a pricing structure that just really rubbed me the wrong way.

Now, I understand that running a compressor and having the tanks is an expense, and if they want to charge for air fills, that's fine by me. But if it's going to be a required cost, why not just make it say "$35, includes unlimited air refills"?

I also have to admit that being shown a price listing like this (but without the required tag) on the air also makes me feel more inclined to play Stock Class for some reason, probably spite. I must be getting old.


Am I totally out of line here? And for the record no I don't plan on going to the field and going full karen on them over their pricing structure lol
