i read a few old threads about people talking abotu hwo they stopped playing bc it was so expensive....how expensive can it be? Once you buy all the [censored], that seems like a one time cost, the only [censored] you have left to constantly buy is paintballs and time at the field, so wtf am i missing?

It is very expensive, when my friend was playing seriously he was always upgrading his gear or buying a new marker. Paintballs aren't cheap and you could easily go through 10k+ in one day.
