A common EVE meme seems to be the concept of carebear tears. I have killed BPO carrying shuttles, in local they say "LOL should've scanned the gate" and just before I pod them back to oblivion they call out "see you later mate".
I proclaim some of the "carebear tears" stories I hear daily are highly fictionalized.
What do you think? Fact or fiction?

They may type that but you didn't see the tears in their eyes while they wrote those messages.

That is because you have met the mature players who know that getting killed is part of the game, and stupidity normally helps that along.
The ones with tears are typically not of the above. _____ When going to a party with wine, women, and song. Always ascertain the vintage of the first two.

Carebear rage is much more common, and just as delicious. Nothing better than someone going "RAAAAAAAAAAAAH" in local after you pop their Imicus with nothing but a Gallente carrier-skillbook in the cargo hold.

Yes. People really do cry.
I experienced some guys from a super elite german pvp alliance that nearly cryed on TS because someone took everything out of their hangars.

I once lost my Kestrel in HED once, before CVA told me to STAY OUT OF HED. Apperently it was common knowledge, but not to a casual player.
Anyways, I managed to save my pod, and in local, they laughed at me cause I was carrying skillbooks, as if they expected me to be upset at loosing some Gunnery skill books. Anyways, stupid fail was stupid, so I made fun of myself along with them. What can ya do...
But yeah, people cry in Eve all the time. Imagine having ONE thing in life that you do ALL day long and care about with all your heart, and having it all destroyed by someone just having fun. I can see how that would be upsetting. But then again, it's their fault for taking the game too seriously. The moral of the story, and I know I'm dating myself with this saying, but GET A LIFE :P

Edited by: Professor Tarantula on 05/11/2010 16:14:48 Fiction. Just like how when people are ganked in hisec everyone pretends they thought they were safe there.
If rage equals tears, then pirates cry more than anyone. Or is pirate anger 'cool'? They're certainly some of the most angry people you'll meet in game.

Depends on the person. Depends on a scale of loss.
I lolled when my Mach BPC badger got pewed, I lolled cos I didnt turn on hardeners on purpose thinking 'hey the gate is clear why would i bother moving my mouse 200 pixels', and cos BPC didnt drop :-)

Edited by: Hecatonis on 05/11/2010 16:32:17 cry? well maybe some. there are a lot of players, and too many of them prob need to take a step back from this game anyways
but i do find that fail gankers and pvper cry as much if not more then us carebears. i think its because we make more money then them and can recoop the loss without having to use 3 different accounts ;)
edit: make it readable, man i am too sleepy to be posting today

You obviously haven't done very much 'griefing' in eve or you wouldn't even ask this question.
Of course they do. All the time. It's often hilarious.

I will never understand why people move things in shuttles. Covops frigates or even better, T3 with covops and interdiction nullifier subsystem are the best ships to move high value low volume items. People using shuttles are asking to lose their stuff.

I think one thing many don't realize is that losing crap isn't a big deal to alot of players. Pirates are all "Oh we got him sooo good lol" and "ZOMG ur dumb" while the victim is quite used to being blown up, has isk to spare, and just goes to buy another shuttle. Their silence is of course taken to mean they're crying, though.

Edited by: Lord Steffwyn on 05/11/2010 17:21:22 Well I can't say I was very happy when my 20 mill HAC got blown up while I was ratting; but that disproved my theory that I could warp out if someone showed up. We negoiated a fee for not podding (which he stuck to) and he made a few helful suggestion for practicing fighting and getting more isk. I was less happy when I was groomed and lured to losec and podded; and I didn't bother talking to that player afterwards as I don't believe that is moral gameplay (feel free to shoot my down on that opinion, as I can understand that the galaxy is a "better" place for allowing players to behave in the manner). What alot of PvP players miss is that if you hammer a player (in one manner or another) then they simply stop playing Eve and everyone looses. My friend stopped playing after being sucided gank in hi-sec while semi-afk mining. Not podding someone (or at least giving them the ransom option) is much preferable option; let alone taking the isk and then podding them. Having played many MMO that have slowly declined in number, I would always appeal to players to try and make it "fun" for other players; difficult I know when your objective is to steal their money and blow their ships up. For example, let me kill the rat before you start shooting, allow me to at least get a couple of shots off before alpha striking me (I mean you know you are going to kick my butt in less than ten seconds). And for new players few million isk to a new player and a bit of help can go a long way, even if you have just blown up their frigate.

I'm not happy when my ship is vaporized around me. And my initial reaction is fury (so far no tears). But usually withing a half-minute two things occur. First, I figure out what incredibly stupid thing I did that lost me my ship (so far only one loss was not due to stupidity on my part). Second, I try to contact my destructor, strike up a conversation (most are very nice about it, as they salvage my wreck) and learn. Do I like all the lawlessness in EVE? Nope. But that's part of the game. As such, I have to either adapt or die. I prefer to adapt. |

Who was it back in the day that was using corp dec mechanics to rampage over Empire deccing just about everyone multiple times? They created an Alliance and had a crapload of wardecs going on at any given time. Maybe 2 years ago or so.
Anyway, all the Empire bear tears were a little loud but they were NOTHING compared to the massive shriek of soulfelt misery of (self proclaimed) Empire griefers when the dec system changed to remedy (ruin?) all that. Those tears are the best tears.

They may not cry but they take the game seriously enough to send hatemail cursing your very existence and questioning your parenthood. While such mail is funny to receive, especially after responding calmly offering tips on how to avoid dying next time only to be met with torrents of "abuse", I think some people do need to take a step back from their pixels at times.

I recieved one where he were gonna dismantle our SOV using Supercaps on his awsome main... Still waiting. Another sent 3 mails telling me how much he was gonna block me?! I kind of feel sorry for them really.
I once sent a mail titled I hate you to a Myrmidon pilot that popped my Arby. All it said was because that fight was too fun GF. Bait and Switch no tears for you. When I went out again he was still on the gate, I was in a Hurricane, he aggressed first, no tears from him, a good fight, a Good Day.

Rarer than it used to be, but still happens. Mainly from people afk in lowsec that I feel the need to 'educate' on why that's a bad idea. Most of the time they'll say 'my bad' and accept the loss but theres the minority that feels every fight should be fair and they shouldn't have to answer for their mistakes.
That said I've just come back off a looooong break and am rather poor atm, can't wait till I can afford to go soloroaming (read: getting ****y dying to small gangs) again to see if it's changed all that much.

To be honest noone really cries.
Its just a game, and most players emotional attachment stop at the podding. If you pod someone they might care about the "recovery" and hate you for a while, but tbh they normally recognise its just par for the game o7

Not quite as rare as you seem to think. Not all tears are threadworthy, and not everyone posts on the forums.
Before CCP removed folders from the address book I used to keep a folder of people who'd generated genuine tears (I'd rotate through it whenever I got bored and was out of new targets). I think I'd accumulated 19 people in a years worth of playing as a "griefer", so average of 1.5 per month. - - - Dian'h Might - C&Ps resident "internet kleptomaniac" |

It happens all the time, that's why it's not thread worthy. In my experience, carebears take it very seriously and very personally when they get popped.

Carebear "tears" are mostly fictional and only common in the minds of deluded players. I've made jokes and comments in local after losing my ship and/or failing to gank someone. Sure I was mad at myself for getting killed / missing out on a kill but not "crying" by any sense of the imagination. However, that doesn't stop my opponents from assuming that my jokes/comments were in fact "crying".
That being said, I'm assuming there are some people who do actually cry when bad things happen in games. Those people are the ones that need to take a step back and figure out why so serious.

Originally by: LittleTerror Death threats are the most amusing, I've had quite a few of those, I had some guy a couple of years ago tell me how he had found my IP and was going to come to my house and cut my throat while I slept, I just laughed at him 
After you die can I have your RL stuff?

in a past life as a carebear (I have 1 account, 1 main) I only got upset once at another players actions. in my first week I got podded after going into 0.0 without really knowing what that meant.
I never shed tears though but did rage in local until the person who killed me took pity and pointed out the error of my ways.
I know people who get upset losing ships to questionable mechanics (why are suicidal gankers paid any insurance?) and node crashes but that's about it.

Edited by: Selinate on 08/11/2010 21:07:58 This is an mmo. Of course there are those who cry over losses like children (though they usually get weeded out quicker than in other mmo's).
I challenge you to find someone as childish and pathetic as this in Eve

Tears...
A few of you oldies might remember this. Please correct details if I am wrong as I heard about this second hand.
I remember an infamous pirate by the name of ginger magician from a few years ago . He was pretty good at being the pirate and even popped me once upon a time.
What I remember most about him was when he was banned. It seems he wanted a mothership, found someone willing to sell him one, paid the billions for it, and was sitting next to it in his pod ready to board the ship.
However, the mothership pilot had other ideas, podded ginger magician and left with the mothership and the billions that were just paid.
Ginger then proceeded to threaten RL violence of some sort and got the ban hammer.
I still lol at that.

Tears... not so much. You may get melodramatic whines in local about how you have destroyed their life, but usually carebears respond with rage and delusions of grandeur - either IRL or ingame.
I've seen plenty of rage in local, a couple evemails sent to me and corpmates. Hilarious, always.
