A carebear is anyone who thinks that they don't affect other players in a game like EVE, and because they have this conviction that they're "not hurting anyone" believe that no one should be allowed to affect them using the tools in the sandbox (more specifically combat tools). Carebears may be okay with market PvP because the losses generally sting less and are less abrupt. Carebears think players who use combat tools against unwilling players are bullies and that players should be completely safe unless they're willing to engage in combat. |

Well, I actively avoid PvP when I'm doing PvE ****; it's how you make money. The difference is that if someone ganks me I blame myself and try to figure out how not to get blown up; a carebear would blame the aggressor and continue doing things in the exact same manner. I also occasionally go out on roams and get blown up, which a carebear would never do. |

This is terrible and you should be ashamed of yourself for spreading such lies. |

Jesus, you and OP have some sort of aversion to reading, Google, and practice it seems.
You have two choices:
1. Nut up and shut up.
a. Find some friends and learn with them.
b. Put some coins in, choose "hard mode", and learn solo.
2. Whine like a little ***** about how hard **** is and how mean people are. |

The substance of my post must have offended you, huh? Maybe try reading it again and understanding what I was talking about?
There's no point crying about mean people in EVE. You either kill them back, slink away and try not to let it happen again, or whine on the forums. The latter option should be received with nothing but contempt.
There is no barrier to entry into PvP, it's all in your head. |

Why not a quote? |

Those were his exact words. If you want to encourage players to engage in more PvP, then the more experienced players are going to have to start treating the noobs better
So, uh, you gonna go edit that again? |

Here's where you whined:

You were whining about mean people.
Remiel Pollard wrote:EDIT: what you just did is called cherry-picking. The post as a whole provides the context for the anecdote, which you seem to have ignored or missed.
Not at all, I quoted the relevant part, where you whined, with enough substance to put that into context. |

I mean sure, I suppose it is gratifying to have made it to big fish in the little internet pond, and whine about the other fishes being too averse or lazy if they want to swim in the pond as well.
Your entire post proves my point that there is no barrier to entry into PvP in EVE. It's all in your head, and if you want it you will get over your hang-up and if you don't you won't, just like everything else in life. |
