I was wondering if anyone knew to what extent trade goods exist ? everything seems to have a market value though not all things have an in game use. I'm also not sure that all market items can be manufactured.

And here we have another great example why this guy should be banned.

He has stopped creating trollthreads in the new players area of the forums ...
... and now comes here to keep doing the same **** he has done there.

The only reason why he stopped there ...
... is because he is scared of the banhammer.

Now he comes here and what does he do? Create bullshit threads ...
... and does not really care about the topic at all.


All he wants is that people talk ...
... for his own amusement.


I'm still waiting for my petition to be looked at, btw.

Thank you for providing me with even more evidence that they should just remove you.

I'm an apathetic carebear.

Paradise is like where you are right now, only much, much better.

As far as I can tell there is little if no industry that isn't actually part of the logistic support for the combat efforts of capsuleers.

So..

Do Care Bears Exist ?

In terms of Eve, there are a few economic facts I am curious about.

Is the player driven market really entirely isolated ? and is that for better, worse and more or less realistic ?


Yes, they exist. I've seen the movies. The horrors of my traumatized childhood...

Some parts of the game seem a little odd, probably why I bring them up on the forum.
Sometimes I can't see how parts of it ever work.
Sometimes it is because of the ingenuity of players make it work
Sometimes it is because it is a tenuous loophole
But this is all a different topic, I'm on about the market and whether or not there is some reason why the Universe at large does not trade with capsuleers other than because it creates a nice little closed market ?

Unfortunately.

Be glad you don't have to still sometimes watch them.

A 'carebear' is just a pejorative derived from this IP and is used to label anyone who isn't actively involved in blowing stuff up.

There isn't an actual definition because people will throw it around for pretty much any non-shooting pilot or activity.

It's a bit like the real world, no one will admit to knowing what one is.

After giving this a lot more thought than it deserves, I can answer the question by simply adding possessive context to the OP

The correct answer would likely be relative to your Latitude, and proximity to Bears.

Yes "Care Bears" exist it is even included in the lore of Eve Online as seen in this chronicles. So Care Bears as a living creature exists in the New Eden Cluster. Here is a select part of the chronicle describing a "Care Bear" in the EVE universe.

Quote:

They passed a massive glass cage filled with hundreds of fuzzy, pink teddy bears, their eyes and mouths grotesquely large. "We ... wuv ... you," they intoned in a choir of childlike voices. "Will ... you ... wuv ... us? We ... wuv ... you", over and over.


As you can see they exist and their description fits that of a "Care Bear".

I care and I'm a bear, but I'm not a carebear. Figure that one out.

"Carebear" is a pretty ironic term, anymore, considering that most of them are vile, repulsive, angry little critters that are quick to threaten real-life violence and harass "outlaw type", but just as quickly offended by alleged "bullying" (aka: killing spaceships in a game about killing spaceships).

The word used to mean something good. Back in the heady days when Chribba was the standard to which all Carebears sought to measure themselves by. Now, though? No..... pirates are usually much nicer people.

That moment when you realize the crazy lady with all the cats was right...

Some people refer to carebearing as someone who only does Missions/Indy and the such, however I would say that isn't really a carebear.

You can do your best to avoid PVP all you want, and you would never be a carebear in my book. When you start whining and complaining about how you were ganked and how unfair it is that your maximum yield hulk was destroyed by a couple of catties, is when you venture into Carebearness.

I would say it's not Risk Aversion, that makes someone a carebear,

It's the mindset of thinking that you should be risk free, and deserve to be risk free, that makes you a carebear, (IE the many many carebears that thinking ganking and bumping should have harsher punishment)

The idea that the game should hold your hand, that makes you a carebear, (People who never learn from mistakes, never learn how to D-scan, and the such)

And the people that attach real life feelings to their pixilated spaceships. Or attach a certain moral high-ground against other activities (White-Knighting, or freaking out when they lose their ultra special meta-4 Hurricane)

EDIT: I would also say, that the term of a Carebear has Evolved within the community and has multiple definitions, it all depends on the group you are asking.
