[QUOTE="MusedFable, post: 2503999, member: 16168"] The reason I don't go to cons is that I don't like people and I don't like spending money. I will only ever pay how much I think something is worth when buying something. That means I never buy things without knowing (be as well informed as possible) if they are good or not. I never buy more dice than I need (so I'll probable never buy them again unless I lose some). I don't buy miniatures unless they are under a $1 because I always mod the mini anyway, and I can only paint marginally (so the detail never gets seen). I don't like 90% of the people I meet. I am rather blunt and don't feel bad telling somebody "I don't care about what your talking about". It seems gamers are some of the most socially retarded people I have ever met. Gamers seem to: be loud; have bad hygiene; start random conversations with you; generally annoy the heck out of me. I filter all the bad things out by using the internet. Prices are almost always lower because of competition. Forum posting is much better because I can just ignore the smelly small-talking ones. Yes, you probable think I'm a jerk for saying the "average" gamer is a loser, but they are. I would much rather walk into a bookstore; grocery store; the mall; post office; sportsbar; goodwill; porn store; or retirement home than any place a bunch of gamers would gather, because all those places are cleaner and friendly than gamer gatherings.
