After thinking about this a bit, I have a few ideas.......

I predict that the “anti-agg” movement will become “agg.” They will have the same character qualities, just a different facade. Reverse Aggies! (not to be confused with Old Skool posers!)

Perhaps with the above, a resurgence of DIY mods to equipment.

The pump community will continue to grow at a slow, but steady pace. Economics will be the driving factor. Affordable but still fun.

The “under $200 tourny gun feeding frenzy’ hasn’t peaked yet with the major manufacturers. More cheap cosmetically different designs will be offered.

It’s about time for the company adds to include for some of the above cheapies “and now comes with eyes standard.”

The mil-sim movement is about to peak and level off.

The scenario movement is leveling off too. Inflation of producers to players or supply and demand is going to force some changes in the scenario crowd.

Along with the above, paintball history is about to repeat itself. The same tensions and dislikes that drove people away from tournament level play “back into the woods” and scenario play, is going to become a growing plague in the woods and scenario paintball too. Tension with symbiotic sponsorships of “fledgling scenario teams to fledgling manufacturers” is starting to leave a bad taste. Scenario games “by invitation only” are being tested around the country. People, get ready for the return of the Wolf Pack!
