Good question! For someone like me who just enjoys trying things that are new to me, no it isn't possible to get too set on doing that. The reason for a hobby is enjoyment, so the more of that we can get from the hobby, the better.

I don't have any problem if my "new" thing is something everyone else is doing, just so it is new to me. My old DIY CO2 setup was great fun for me, until I got sick and tired of making sugar water. My pressurized CO2 has been great fun, but I'm starting to get tired of driving to the Fire Extinguisher place for refills, my DIY python was great fun until dragging that stupid garden hose out and eliminating the kinks in it became work, etc. None of those were new to anyone but me when I tried them.
