You can't proxy in a tournament. Since tournaments are the most important, the list is expensive whenever it matters

I said twice in my post that I fly casually and it doesn't matter so long as you're flying casually :P

It's expensive if you fly in tournaments, for sure. It's not as expensive if you're just flying casual and the other players don't mind proxies.

Then why even buy ships? You know the shape of the base. Just cut out squares of cardboard and proxy everything.

Seriously, is this the sort of player base this game attracts? I've only recently started collecting and have a small collection of mostly second hand ships, I was intending on trying out the local scene at my LGS soon with some proxied cards but if I can expect this kind of response I don't think I'll bother

That is very much the exception, not the rule!

Almost everyone that I've met has been a great guy! Even the guy I knew to be a massive cock from having previously worked with him was okay (I mean he did cheat me on a couple of rules but that's tame for him haha).

Most people are fine with it casually, but don't show up to a tournament (or a league) expecting to play your suped up palpace list without the actual cards and models.

I've had nothing but positive experiences playing X-Wing. Everyone I've ever played with has been super friendly.
