I think the biggest thing that people didn't think of when they saw the cost was that it took a LOT of money for that venue. If I remember right it was a DND-owned or leased property, not some guy's field in the back forty. There was also a lot of preparation that had to go into the building as far as construction, clean-up, and the like.
When I first came here I liked the idea of BWIII, and I wanted to go, I was just waiting on my income tax to come in before I could commit to the game. I had no problem with travelling across the country for my first real airsoft game, and if I had the chance(and the money) to take part in a game like BWIII, I'd be willing to do it again.
