Yeah but isnt that "risk averse behavior" ppl talk about brought on by the "first rule of eve" which is "dont fly what you cant replace"?

so youd be taught, first thing upon getting into EVE to be careful what you fly cause you may (will) lose it? Wonder if the "risk averse" crowd arent constantly breaking that rule and thats WHY theyre "risk averse"

OR cause PVPers in general have been doing that for years and someone first getting into it (and or are miners. flying ships without guns - risk averse? How about the gankers. Its not a risk when the destruction chance is 100%. Its then called "the price of business". The only "risk" they have is they may screw up and fail.) doesnt have year(s) of SP to rely on?

Naaaaah theyre just cowards lol

A Carebear is a PVEer scrub in a PVP game who, when experiencing some form of difficulty with other players, wishes to force the game's rules to change in lieu of them changing their playstyle.

For example, rather than fit a tank to deter gankers, or fly a different ship temporarily, or bring along friends who can fight back, these most pathetic of slugs would rather demand CCP make their hulks invincible.

Of course, they rarely state outright they wish to be invincible, instead they simply extend the goalposts of what they feel is acceptable vulnerability -- goalposts which are always on the other side of where they currently are. In other words, it's only acceptable vulnerability if they are not vulnerable at any given time.

In any other situation this would be laughable ("I don't think I should have to risk losing a covops ship, all I'm doing is probing for wormholes and anoms, you should make it so I can probe while stealthed and can't be targeted when unstealthed."), but these pathetic wretches are oh so tiresome and loud in their bitching and moaning...


Easy to spew that all out when you're in the biggest alliance in the game. You just hide behind your numbers.

I don't care what you think, if you ever think at all.

Carebears are large groups of players that need even larger groups of players to do anything, no matter what it is.

More bears the better becuase, if you really care, you are quite the bear.

Basically it's as dumb a made up word like "pubbie" or "n00bie" or
"hubby head". A hubbie head however is years old compared and actually humorous ;/)

There are good ships,

And wood ships,

And ships that sail the sea

But the best ships are Spaceships

Gotta crap in that sandbox.

A carebear is anyone who cares more about what other people have and cannot bear it when people play the game 'wrong'. It has nothing to do with risk adversity (my travels have taught me the only risk adverse player is the solo player), or PvE (which is how most of the largest "PvP" entities have amassed their gargantuan fortunes). A carebear is loud, obnoxious, and needs others to follow them, and to think that said carebear is awesome, due to their reliance on what others think of them. If the general public pays no attention to them, they bang pans and yell and kick things over until they have the spotlight once more. That's how I see a carebear.

"Carebear" someone who doesn't know how to pvp and does everything to avoid it, someone who plays eve to PvE instead of PvP

For the purposes of Eve, a carebear is someone who doesn't go out of their way to ruin another person's day. Basically a decent human being.

Carebears are people who cry and whine less than the supposed pvp'ers.

Oh hey yeah because secure null sec space absolutely does not take a massive combined effort from thousands of players in an alliance to claim and hold does it?

You awful, awful pubbie.


And what amazing and incredibly things have you done? Hm?
