My EVE

Hi, my name is I Love Boobies, and I am a Carebear. Should I feel guilty for being a Carebear? No more so than being a Prat, or the most effective PvPer in Eve Online, even a Scammer for what it's worth. Eve Online is a game that caters to all styles of play, so why should people care about how others play?

It's actually quite humorous when people rush to the forums and declare people are playing the game wrong. Play the game how you see fit, don't worry about others and how they feel about your style of game play. The true Carebears are the ones who worry or complain about the play styles of others. Just play the game, have fun.

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.

This is because you suck. You suck because you just will not accept any advice. Also, you were told on your blog that a Meta 0 fit would DIAF (you admitted you could use T2, but didn't) but ignored the advice and did it anyway, then gave up after one ******* day instead of trying to adapt. You then redacted your blog posts.

n.b. my RvB alt had 850k SP and took 35kills for 6 losses.

So, yes. You are actually too risk averse to learn.

You moaned and whined and bitched about E-Uni ... yet if you had spent the same amount of time actually learning from them, you may have learned that shield boosted bombers are terribly, terribly fail.

Remember most carebears living in null space, also they pseudo super pvpers... 80% of those people farm feat NPC on asteroid bells 24/7 after hardcore farm they buy some ships like cheap intercepttors and they do pvp,,, one pvp like one hour roam give to them around +20 assist on kill mail, they have awesome kill ratio,,,

The OP's fourth paragraph sums up the carebear situation pretty nicely, I'd say.

OP, you're obviously at peace with EVE's inherent nature, and are therefore not a carebear. However, your inferiority complex is making you extremely ineffectual in relation to the pvp aspect of this game. Like others have said, you don't need much to get started. You can have a great Rifter setup with less than a million skill points, and believe me, with some combat experience you will be able to beat deadspace-fit T2 frigates flown by missionbear lolpilots who see you as easy pickings and think they can teach you a lesson after you steal from their cans/wrecks.

You need to get out of your shell and stop doubting yourself. Skills will come with practice, but practice won't come without effort.

You are a care bear because instead of actually engaging in any sort of PvP to damage or even harass your in-game enemies, you resort to crying and whining non stop. In fact, you are the absolute worst type of player to have in this game, the type who will whine and cry until their face turns blue rather than even attempting to use the resources in the sandbox.

I can't say this loud enough. Get the **** out.

I see....

So all I need to do is go into a blob fest once in a while and heavily out number my opponent in low sec whilst they are ratting belts in their cormorant and I am no longer a carebear? ... score!

In all seriousness it's just a silly phrase people throw around, Eve has more ego than apple users it's hard not to be labelled as something.

On the other hand...




Waaahh waaahh waaah Cap ship changes waaaa waaaa waaaah 0.0 nerfing.... oh my god CCP stop ruining null sec omg omg omg. Doesn't ring a bell?




I started reading that and thought... they're right... until they made out that their idea of PvP is preying on mission runners by stealing their cans and baiting them into a fight... Just look at the risk you are taking! I think I'd pass out... "PvP" in high sec against bears? Sounds even more bearish than just running the mission.

To be honest, even if you diaf for your first 20 fights you still learn an absolute ton, and it feels less shameful the sooner you do it. Dont feel you have to have the best equipment either, just fit cheap and effective and take out some cocky interceptors in your 3m isk ishkur. Before rigs were a realistic possibility on frigs this cool guy from the Bastards (General Coochie) made a vid killing bad people in interceptors by flying a 800k isk incursus with cheap meta modules (meta 3 or lower). http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadid=1017792

that was my inspiration and how I got started.

If you solo PVP you more or less have to expect to blow up a lot.... or maybe I really am just dreadful. I'm hardly risk averse though, that can raise your survival rate but makes for very boring roaming and you still die to remote sebo camps or cheap traps just the same.

I'm cool calm and collected, there isn't an ounce of anger in me, I ain't even mad. It's hard not to interpret those words in the way I did when the only relation to PvP in your post was against mission runners. Though I better watch out you're clearly elite at what you do...




The irony of 0.0... but yeh I some what agree there is risk which is the warfare aspect and I guess the reward is being able to farm sanctums etc.

I think your definition is pretty spot on. I do honestly think the only group of people who fall into this category are mission runners. A trader can sit in a station and trade all day or once every few days but what drives his market is the PvP kills and losses and removing PvP would almost destroy his business. As far as I can tell there is only really mission running that can entirely be done without interacting with anyone. When I first started Eve I spent 6-7 months running missions in fact after first 2 months I was in a CNR with a faction fit after that I literally never spoke to anyone for another 4 months.
