lol you common rock thief you.

it's actually not that common. last time I saw someone do that(not that I really checked every day, but anyway) it was a couple of years ago. and with the relatively large ore holds that barges get nowadays, people would usually just use their barge for haulin'.

Oh nono ...

common rock.

As in ... there's so much around, it doesn't matter anyway.

I guess that joke didn't work.


Btw, I know a place where people still mine into jetcans....

A carebear is anyone who thinks the rules of the game should be changed to suit their gameplay at the cost of someone else's gameplay. Carebears come from all walks of life. And being an industrialist doesn't make you a carebear, just like being a pvper doesn't make you not a carebear.

Lumping every despicable personality trait together and calling it a care bear.
I get your point though,
It would be a bit crap to post about how we need to bring the requirements down for an item because you can't use it for example.
Who is to say which of the vets used to be like that before they got to the stage where they don't need to any more ?

To expand a little more, I view carebears as players who can't see the forest for the trees and are unable to take a big picture view and see the value in diversity. That is why they thrive in games that cater to specific rules that harmonize with them. Hardcore 'pvp' types love the purity of shooters, hardcore 'pve' types love the purity of themepark games or rail shooters. It takes a special type of mind to be open to the idea that all types of players and their styles can coexist in one game world.

This is where carebearism is most identifiable, however. You have the hardcore 'pvp' types harping on about the hardcore 'pve' types and visa versa, neither content to see the other have the appearance of an advantage and both missing the entire circle of life they both depend on.

Basically there are ultimately only two types of players in a community powered gaming environment, the carebear and the purist. Purist gamers take a world for what it is and don't seek to change it to benefit one group over another, but rather to see the entirety of the community become further improved. Purists are difficult to identify, because carebears tend to want to make things about 'us' vs 'them'.

Ultimately it is the carebears who label each other carebears most, the purists are busy playing the game. You can also see this in politics, real and virtual.

Carebears indeed do exist, and instead of teaching children about their feelings, they now pollute local with insults that would curl a sailors whiskers.




Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

to OP: define carebears

I'll find a special cure for your carebear problems.

Obsession with carebears can be treated with the right hand. You can fantasize about any sort of bear, fully hairy ones or brown coloured type.

Most importantly, do they care?

Now please, enjoy your day in New Eden, do not be too heavy on bear hugging.

Most people have no clue of the definition of a carebear.

There are several types of bears who share characteristics.

There's the carebear, which is the broad term ...

The fleetbear ... who whines about the lack of FCs.
The nullbear ... who whines about afk cloakers.
The gankbear ... like CODE people.


They're all carebears, simply because they're either whiny, cowards or both.

They run big mouths, but in the end have nothing to actually show off,
while constantly trying to derail from this very fact.


You can find them easily, because they can not stop talking like big men.
Then you make them hide in station all day, because they can not realistically
harm you in any way ... and they will smack even more, because it shows them
how weak they actually are.

And in case you DO get a hold of them and kill their ships ...
... you can expect even more.


At that point one should feel highly encouraged to post the story in C&P ...
... to make everyone aware of this sad little kid.

There's also F1bears

And elitepvpbears

and hotdropbears


Let me add wreckingbears and apexforcebears to that
`

Pipebombabears too.

Well, "care bear" term had a loooong evolution on it's way. Back in the days it was more about guy who would kill everyone with a knife because "Hell these ammo are rare, better save for "when-it-hits-the-fan"". That old-term-bear applied to the Eve would mean every guy who flies disposable because his blingy stuff in Station Hangar is expensive. Even more, it would fly the cheapest thing that do things right. That would be... many guys around.
The new-term-bear is strange thing full of mutually incompatible traits applied to any person who don't like to be involved in one-sided relations. So it's just a meaningless insult => does not exist.
