It was at Gencon which is actually rather large, but I guess their cosplay scene is subpar. It was my first year in attendance; I guess paying for panels (they call them "events") is standard fare for the con, although average price is usually just $2-8 to participate in the event and paying more than that usually means you get to use the materials, too. For $20 I expected to at least get to take home some useable scrap. Instead I got a piece of EVA foam, craft foam, and worbla, all roughly the size of my thumb, pic related. So much regret.

Bringing this back on topic, some pet peeves:
>people begging for free shit
Be it cosplayer to photographer or cosplayer to cosplayer. I saw a shitty fallout cosplayer hound another for his pipboy, which was made from scratch and had a working interface. He had mentioned he was retiring the costume which prompted the begging.
>wearing large/fragile cosplay in the exhibitor's hall
>people with poor hygiene
>people who think it's OK to grab you when trying to get your attention
>good cosplay getting overshadowed by sexy cosplay
Breaks my heart every time.
