True.

Its a miracle you even found this thread amidst the pages and pages of whine threads about TEST and myself in particular crying about the nerf to our absolutely massive super capital fleet.


I see your sarcasm and I raise you...

Ironically most of the threads in GD are about people complaining over carebears I look back now on the first page and I see a lot of "CCP event waz cool bro", "ISK sink won't stop carebears!" and some lowsec/0.0 complaints.

Risk adverse much?

You can PVP in a frigate with about 2 weeks worth of SP, in RvB or elsewhere. I know, because I have done this several times.

Averse.

And yeah, you can, if you want to get blown up constantly. You don't learn much when your Incursus is completely T1 fit and you're going up consistently against T2 fit ships.


That's really not true you know. There are some noobs hanging around in the low sec we live in who have been playing for a couple of weeks. No skills, they've read about how to fit and are just getting out there and learning how to fly.

So you get blown up? Fit another ship and get back into it. You'll get kills because you'll find someone unprepared, or taking a risk on a haul they shouldn't and with every death or kill they learn something.

Why, "carebear" usually denotes someone who's satisfied with building, rather than wanton destruction. Since it was a kid's cartoon, the ones who use the term pejoratively are infantile enough to think it's an insult to be compared to something harmless and cuddly. The ones who use the name to label someone else, of course, would wet their pants and cry for mommy if they actually ran into a tough guy...something they've probably already done several times in their sweet short lives. The experience is so unbearable (no pun intended) they spend the rest of their lives trying to make up for it by seeming tough, only from perfectly safe places...like behind a keyboard in mummy's basement.

Not the carebear's fault, the game should protect people from the unscrupulous.

My definition is: If you enjoy making ISK purely for the joy of making ISK, you're a carebear.

More seriously, I was contemplating the topic and ranted about it a while back.

Umm.

The entire fourth paragraph is an explanation of how the carebear thinks ... not how I think. Consider the fourth paragraph sarcastic in nature.

The fifth paragraph (which you obviously didn't read) is the clincher: "That's not me at all."

Would that make you feel like a special snowflake?

What I do know is that when I log into a game that I am paying for, I'm going to do whatever the hell I want. I don't need someone to put a ******* name or designation on that.

Leaves only the fresh scent of pine.

I spend my time in this game scared shirtless that someone will come into my home (C2 WH population: me) and kick the living shirt out of my panzy ascot. However sometimes when im feeling lucky i go out in my cloaky loki and steal some cheese from other WH's. I have never pvp'd and i dont really care too.....i mean dont get me wrong you will die if you come in my WH with a non-combat vessel but that is not pvp.

If this makes me a carebear i don't give a haberdasher because it is the play style i like.

there is many types of carebear

1. Mission/Incursion Carebear - never leaves high sec.. runs missions or incursions but never actively hunts other players.

2. Mining Carebear - never leaves high sec - mines only in 0.5 - 1.0 systems

3. Trading Carebear - never leaves high sec - often found in freighters - rarely in a player run corp

4. Production Carebear - Never leaves a high sec trade hub area - gets mins via buy orders and sells it goods in the station it builds the stuff in

5. NullBear - lives in null sec - rats or runs anoms/sites all day - doesnt turn up for CTA's when required to and leeches off the alliance its in. (most commonly found in renter alliances)

6.Scammer Carebear - never leaves high sec trade hubs - spams local all day with scam contracts

Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs.

But you're not asking CCP to give you a PvP flag ... so you're cool.

Do you want CCP to give you a PvP flag? If the answer is no, then you are not a carebear. :)

If you do pvp, you're a yarrbear. A rather broad stroke, I suppose. I should define that to those who only pvp when they have advantage or numbers. Same risk adversity, but it comes with a KB, and thus somehow gets a pass from being labeled a bear by those who do it.
