A carebear is a little sissy who's terrified of any sort of risk or conflict. Generally this goes hand in hand with a massive sense of entitlement and a stubborn denial of any and all responsibility for their own circumstances. When a good player dies he thinks "What did I do wrong and how do I avoid doing it next time.". When a carebear dies he thinks "Waaaah I died. Mommy CCP protect me!". |

Well - the reason I brought up Drakes was because it's a ship a typical carebear would bring to a fleet (if given the choice - a blob calling for them is a different issue) because it's the one ship you typically don't get primaried in (high tank/dps ratio) - could have been Mallers or Prophecies as well, but then, nobody flies them. The only issue I personally have with Drakes is the fact so many people fly them, because monotony is boring - same goes for Canes.
Thought they were nerfing them cause theyre TOO widely used? Unless all those Goon or someone I cant remember who Drake fleets I hear about from time to time are just jokes. Hell I saw a killmail for a Tengu the other day where the attackers were FOURTY SEVEN drakes O.o Dont think just carebears fly em in 0.0

Given the conversations we have HERE regularly, THIS isnt THAT bad. **** the Mittens qq BS is STILL around
Quote:As I said there, the term carebear is much older than Eve, and it specifically refers to someone who doesn't partake of PvP and instead focuses on the PvE aspect of the game. In a pvp-centric game such as Eve (or old school UO, where the term was coined) it has an extremely negative connotation, as many would argue the PvP is the entire point and a PvEer is simply acquiring items without any real purpose but to acquire even more items.
as I NEVER said here, that it was a EVE only term... So most of this is worthless. I asked what it means to you... the forum going public... MAINLY cause of that one guy's extremely laughable definition that they CAN PVP and will kick your ass lol Cause I thought it was funny and thought others might as well.

Im a carebear and to be honest I lol everytime I see threads like this...to many nerds wanting to prove how tough they are.
Reason I found myself being a carebear is cos I can't be arsed to be a sheep following someone else's idea of how to play.
Plus I'm one of those mentally ill people, yes mentally ill, oh the horror, so I don't play well with others :( oh well **** happens and morons continue to rule. |

A Carebear is a PVEer scrub in a PVP game who, when experiencing some form of difficulty with other players, wishes to force the game's rules to change in lieu of them changing their playstyle.
For example, rather than fit a tank to deter gankers, or fly a different ship temporarily, or bring along friends who can fight back, these most pathetic of slugs would rather demand CCP make their hulks invincible.
Of course, they rarely state outright they wish to be invincible, instead they simply extend the goalposts of what they feel is acceptable vulnerability -- goalposts which are always on the other side of where they are -- i.e., it's only acceptable vulnerability if they are not vulnerable at any given time.
In any other situation this would be laughable ("I don't think I should have to risk losing a covops ship, all I'm doing is probing for wormholes and anoms, you should make it so I can probe while stealthed and can't be targeted when unstealthed."), but these pathetic wretches are oh so tiresome and loud in their bitching and moaning... |

Sheesh! As I said I just picked it because it's widely used and you can but the most clueless chimp without the slightest idea of game mechanic into one and still expect him to do some damage or at least soak some up.
Just insert any ship instead of the Drake - the point I was trying to make was that 50 tough-guy weekend PvPers camping a gate in tanky, cheap ships are way more risk averse than the one R&D guy in his industrial flying around in lowsec every day.

But you can't launch the probes while stealthed, right?
(If you can, then I vastly need to reevaluate my use of probes.)
Therefore, there's a tiny segment of time where if you were stupid and sitting on a gate launching the probes, you would be vulnerable. You'd have to be an idiot to do so (at least, with reds in local or whatnot), and a rather big douche to then complain to CCP about how it's not fair you were attacked in the first place...
... but that's generally the kind of stupidity and entitlement we're talking about here. To continue our Hulk Carebear examination -- they are running max mining rigs, max mining gear, no tank, while perpetually AFK (or botting), and are absolutely shocked when a privateer decides to take out a very expensive target of opportunity. |

Agreed - although I usually set up a safe before decloaking and launching probes (which is quite carebearish of me, admittedly), but I got your point... You know... morons. |

a carebear avoids conflics, mines, is the guy in the shadow who does all the indy jobs. a carebear is someone who uses all skills in gunnery, missiles, drones, for pve and pve only. a carebear is someone who controls the market, someone who is richer than you and sits in station all day everyday. a carebear has multiple accounts and only uses them to scout, transport, buy/sell. a carebear scams. a carebear is someone who claims to know the mechanics of pvp based off what they have heard from others, a carebear is someone who has to create a fit in eft and pyfa (aka fitting warriors) , a carebear is someone who wont try anything out unless the stats look alright. a carebear is someone who takes great pleasure in killing rats rather than players, a carebear doesnt believe in pvp, a carebear is someone who will not fleet with you if you have a bounty or negative status. a carebear is someone who doesnt have killboard, a carebear is someone who lives in a trade hub, a carebear is someone who trade hub fights and thinks they are pro : trade hub fighting is not pvp. as you see anyone can be a carebear whether they live in high sec, low sec, or null sec. I live in null and i encounter just as much carebears here than i do in high sec http://www.youtube.com/iwasnamedian |

To me a carebear is a player that does not actively engage in PVP ship-to-ship combat and will more likely run from a fight rather than 'chance it'. Hey CCP, there is still drone poop in the loot soup! |

They're not called carebears anymore.
They're 'hardbears'. So they feel better about themselves while they get ganked, I guess.

Yeah, again, "Carebear" suggests the children's toy and media line.
"Bear" also suggests a husky, manly gay man.
"Hard Bear" suggests he's happy to see you. |

Carebear: Ignores CTA's and will not provide any support PVP wise unless they know they will live.
Also, they tend to care very much about what level your military index is (if you own sov). "If we deploy, how will we maintain military five in our systems?"
Had that convo yesterday.... Ended with me saying: "I do not think you have your priorities straight, chief"

The Care Bears are characters created by American Greetings in 1981 for use on greeting cards. The original artwork for the cards was painted by artist Elena Kucharik. In 1983, Kenner turned the Care Bears into plush teddy bears. The Care Bears appeared in their own TV specials called The Care Bears in the Land Without Feelings (1983) and The Care Bears Battle the Freeze Machine (1984). They also had their own television series from 1985 to 1988, in addition to three feature films: The Care Bears Movie (1985), Care Bears Movie II: A New Generation (1986), and The Care Bears Adventure in Wonderland (1987).
Each Care Bear comes in a different color and has a specialized insignia on its belly that represents its duty and personality. This insignia was known as their "tummy symbol." However, the movie Care Bears: Oopsy Does It! renamed them "belly badges". Adding to the Care Bear family are the "Care Bear Cousins", which feature a lion, rabbit, penguin, raccoon, and other such animals created in the same style as the teddy bears.
In 2002, the bears were reintroduced with new toys. Made by Play-Along Toys, the new toys offered features such as illuminated bellies upon touch, aerobic bears, and glow-in-the-dark bears. As part of this comeback, the Bears have appeared in two computer-animated movies: Care Bears: Journey to Joke-a-lot (2004) and The Care Bears' Big Wish Movie (2005). In 2007, the franchise celebrated its 25th anniversary; another relaunch took place, as well as the release of Care Bears: Oopsy Does It!.
In mid-2011, American Greetings announced a revival TV animated series titled "Care Bears: Welcome to Care-a-Lot". The premiere of the series will be utilizing "30 years of caring". It will premiere on The Hub sometime in the Summer of 2012.
