    Honestly,I hate to be that guy, but I quit because of the Speedsofters that ruined the culture of my local field. There used to be a culture of Fair play and educating the newer players. Now the game evolved into Speedsofters mag-dumping “rentals” for clout. Where’s the fun in using your $2,000 build to shoot up new players? Don’t you want to be challenged?
    It’s honestly sad to see for the entire airsoft community. I support all styles of play, but this is just my honest assessment from my 14 years of airsoft experiences.

    You forgot two more easy ways to make it more interesting. One is to try to change the way you play. If you are used to rushing forward, try to stay behind, go slowly. If you are used to hiding more, try running more. Another is to try playing with a weaker hand. Not only will it be more interesting, but you will also be a better airsoft player when you are able to use both hands.

    Great, and completely valid points. Without change of any kind people are just going to get bored eventually, and that goes for anything beyond airsoft as well.
    However, I think the main reason why people end up leaving the sport entirely is other players. There are several groups/types of players that ultimately make up a minority of the overall community, but they always tend to zap the fun out, and regardless of how you try to ignore them, eventually they'll get to you. We all have our limits, and I've walked out of my share of events because they caught me on a bad day.

    I think the decline of airsoft in the US can be blamed on four factors: 1. Lack of professionally operated and marshalled gaming facilities. 2. The decline of serious mil sim type gameplay in a lot of airsoft fields, which now favor "speed soft." 3. The lack of quality support and talented technicians in most airsoft fields. 4. The lack of innovation within the GBBR space. Fortunately, there still a few fields out there that do recognize this such as Ballahack Airsoft VA and other that put out serious Mil sim type events where strict codes of conduct are implemented and participation in different scenarios are encouraged.

    One other reason you didn’t touch on why the experienced crowd walk away from the sport is they either walk away from the sport because they need a break and feel it’s gotten stale. Also could have walked away due to the player base at their area or just airsoft in general. Also what could drive away the experienced crowd is sometimes it’s just expensive to maintain.

    To save your fun and your whole experience and the experience for others: play GBBR only and throw out the AEG‘s and HPA‘s because Gas Blowback not only is a hell of fun and a nicer feeling and everything, it also makes the game way more tactical and eliminates the just trigger-fingering and shooting a 1000 rounds/BB‘s on one opponent - you have to be way more tactical and more precise and save on BB‘s because your mag‘s are real/low-cap mags with max 30 BB‘s per mag and that’s hella fun!

    I haven't played in forever because we only have one field in the Tucson, AZ area. It's a relatively open field with a lot of die hard players who have spent a thousand or so in their gun alone. It just got to the point where it was an expensive little trip where I couldn't compete and there was no other reason to go other than to run and get shot. Plus every time I went I had at least one issue with my guns. So I either had to struggle or spend to fix them. I had gone 10 to 20 times in my life and invested a decent amount into guns and gear to make the game more comfortable than renting. But the experience was getting quickly degraded and just didn't feel worth it anymore. I love to shoot and would love to play, but it's too expensive for me in admission and consumables alone to not be able to do anything and have a redeeming experience.

I still have my AEGs, but I am start thinking of getting at least 2 GBBs. One Rifle and one SMG. I might have to lay low on the PCs and go with just a harness that I still have because I've gained weight since I played airsoft, and I am going to be biding time until I have enough money to get a new PC. Still practicing with my AEGs holding rifles techniques and speed reloadings. So, unless there's a life-changing altercation, I haven't quit on airsoft, just a long hiatus.

    Yeah unfortunately the problem I had that caused me to quit playing can't be fixed with money. I already primary a 1911A1, secondary a pump shotgun, tertiary a P90, quaternary a basic clam shell M4 for indoor and use either a Famas or RPK for outdoor in addition to having more platforms I can swap whenever I wanted. My problems were with the players. My friend and I basically hated everyone we ever met regardless of the field we went to. All the rampant cheating and elitism drove us away from it. I want to give it another shot now that im on the other side of the country but I'm still very hesitant especially since I got back into paintball and have met great people at both the fields I've played at.

    I quit for about a year and sold everything but I’m getting back into it this summer. I found it to be boring because people don’t want to play to tactics or they just hang back & don’t move forward meaning I was one of the few main runners that went for objectives etc. I also found that I had too many RIFs which made choosing labour some. Now I only have two upgraded hi-capas that I didn’t sell first time round and a new T10 which I’m upgrading just now with Ulysses, shimming, piston, piston head, cylinder, cylinder head with a motor, barrel and maybe a new gear ratio to come.
    Before I had a Tango Down M4, TM VSR-10, Eve-4, Mod.1, TM MK23, TM MP7A1. All upgraded to the max possible.

    To be honest I don’t think it’s the lack of platform variety or gameplay styles. It’s the financial impact on customers and businesses. A lot the the places near me have started focusing on paintball or shut down entirely. Airsoft just doesn’t make enough money to sustain business in certain locations. As for customers/players. Everything is getting more expensive. Airsoft fields aren’t open anymore during certain time schedules. People have to put more time into their jobs. It’s becoming stressful instead of an enjoyable hobby/sport for players. As well as just a job instead of a passion for businesses.

    Airsoft is super fun when you're a teen or young adult......then we get kids, jobs, wives/husbands.......and do other life shit. When kids get old enough to join in, a lot of us jump back in again. Also where I live the closest field is over an hour away, the nicer fields are closer to two hours away. Requires planning and even when playing I can maybe hit up 1-2 times a month.

There doesn't seem to have a lot convincing reasons to play PvP in this if the facilitators aren't going to be professional about it or the players cheat without consequences. PvP doesn't seem to be worth the time.

An can’t switch to semi auto. Then I’ve had to start working even more these days. Because the cost of living has gotten so expensive and I’m having to work a lot. I miss the days where i could play all day with my own stuff for like $25. It’s went up for my local fields now it’s $50 to play all day.
