Meet ups rant

I was going to go to this otaku meet up tommorow because it would have been my first one but as the days were passing by leading up to the meet up more and more people were posting on the Facebook page about how they were bring their yu-gi-oh cards and it started to turn into a yu-gi-oh meet up instead now i know yu-gi-oh is a anime but i don't want to be around people playing the card game. I don't like the card game for personal reason. I know i shouldn't let this stop me from still attending but it is. What meet up rants/stories do you guys have
