GAS is absolutely something I’ve done. Is it a problem? Depends on perspective. Sometimes the nicer equipment makes the hobby so much more enjoyable at the early stages that I’m more likely to stick with it. Sometimes I spent a lot more money than was required because there’s a lot of gatekeeping in hobbyist circles. How many times have you heard arguments like “the Manoblaster XYZ 22.9 is trash and if you’re serious, you really should look at the Ploydester 7, it’s got 9 more omicron settings and it really hits the low tags like nothing else can.”
