You know, some high end tech used to be in the Tippmann E-bolt, and I don't go claiming that to be god's gift to paintball.
I think the problem with ion worship is, well...the price range. Now hear me out on this part. It's a gun that has most of the features of any high end out there. But its priced enough that nearly any new kid to paintball can buy one. What's nearly every new player think? Right. "My gun is so awesome."
Darktamer said some if this already.
Its just new player syndrome...applied in a new way.
And Ion's have been out for a while, most of us have adapted to it.
