EVE General Discussion

It used to just be a carebear, now they are spread all over eve... not carebears, other types are emerging as well.

From my understanding, these are the most prominent types:

Carebear - a player that spends most of the time grinding ISK for no apparent reason or just to buy more expensive equipment that will improve his ISK grinding. It's an endless recursion really. Generally despises taking risk and complains when the risk is forced upon them by other players.

Nullbear - much like a carebear, but has taken one step further to be involved in blob warfare. Still avoids taking risk anytime he can. That's why 90% of the time in PvP he spends in corp/alliance insured and reimbursed fleets.

Gankbear - I didn't made this up, but seen the term here. It's a player, or an alt, that lives in highsec and does exclusively suicide gankings of targets that can not defend themselves (miners, haulers, mission runners with expensive fits,...). ISK grinding is not that important for this bear, since A) catalysts are cheap B) loot from their targets can provide pretty solid ISK. What this bear has in common with other bears is that he, as well, don't like taking risks.

So, generally, a term "bear" is linked with a play style that doesn't involve risk or tries to minimize it to extremes. Are there other types out there?

Note:
Above terms are not mentioned in any derogatory way. These terms are coined to label specific play styles that exist in the game. My opinion on the matter is that these are all valid ways of playing the game and equally valuable as any other play style. They are the reason why we have so much diversity in EVE.
