Now that killing you is profitable again, I would like to cordially welcome you back to EVE Online. Unlike that game you were playing in November, EVE is a mulitplayer game in which you are a target. It requires some amount of cunning, situational awareness, and general paranoia. On some level you will feel a bit uneasy when you undock, this is working as intended, and we welcome you back into our ranks as typical, slightly nervous EVE players. Have fun, see you in the belts. ;) |

Thanks for the welcome but we've been at the party for years. Carebears got targeted on a semi-regularly basis in all the previous systems this just adds anew flavor to the frosting.
EVE has never been safe unless you stay docked. Just remember the bounty system is a two way system. You kill carebears and they sell the kill rights. Should make for some interesting back and forth.
I personally welcome our new Bounty Overlords. |

Does anyone have the numbers to show that ganking a fully insured, max yeild fit Mackinaw in highsec is profitable with the highest payout on the bounty? And if so, does it remain profitable in 1.0 or 0.9 sec? "Trust no one.-á As soon as God crapped out the third caveman a conspiracy was hatched against one of them."-á Hunter Gathers |

I have been placing 40M bounties on Macks in Kamio (60 so far); average payout on a kill seems to be 32-35M. Add in some half decent loot and some salvage if you're lucky and you'll be able to more than compensate any lost destroyers. Repent what's past; avoid what is to come.

The gankers I know of don't claim to have any PvP skills, they claim to have organisational skills.
Always bet on stupid, CCP can't patch stupid. The measure of success in Eve is not monetary worth, it's how effectively you can enforce your will on others. |

Eh, search around on the forums a bit, many people have attempted a dictionary-definition. I will just say that I apply the term loosely to anyone in highsec I catch doing what I would consider to be "carebear stuff". |

Some of the gankers me and a friend have ran into bought more people to the party. Surrender is still your slightly less painful option. |

This is the part that can blow your mind .... carebears PvP too.

Good ol' Piggy showing the obsession they have toward carebears. You really need some help if this continues on because it can't be healthy to obsess over something like this. I am a proud High Sec Pve player. Got a problem? |

I like how you referred to me in the plural. ^_^ We are Legion, we are many! Seriously though, I wouldn't go as far as obsessed, more like diligent in my work. |

I said 'they' because I truly do not know if you are "Male" or "Female". There is a fine line between obsession and being diligent.
Example. Where do you draw the line between being a diligent Fan of a Popstar and being a stalker?
I have seen a few people ruin themselves to a obsession, I am just trying to look out for a fellow EvE player by letting them know it is hard to tell if they are just outspoken / "Diligent" or being obsessive.
I am not saying it is bad to voice your hate of someone or someone's play style, I am just saying that when you make threads saying the same thing over and over again as well as posting in the threads of the ones you do not care for saying how bad they are for being themselves it kind of looks bad. I am a proud High Sec Pve player. Got a problem? |

The definition of care bear is simple.
Someone who does not require life validation via a computer game.
They are people not driven by anger, self doubt and they have no need to make others feel as bad.
Or more simply put, they are the people who are not bullied in the work place, so they have no need to bully others. Any Spelling, gramatical and literary errors made by me are included free of charge.

What I find disappointing is getting bounties from some disposable alt character. I mean, c'mon, I don't PvP - the worst thing I can do in retaliation is throw some bounty ISK back at them. But apparently even that is too much to bear for some "mighty slayers of carebears" so now I'm just stuck wondering who the main is hiding behind that annoying bounty-placing alt. Oh well.
This puts CCP in a bind. Either they say that this not what they intended and admit that made a mistake, or they can try to claim such an easily exploitable system was their intention. Either way they've got egg on their face. EvE Forum Bingo |

You should have to have a minimum 5 mill SP to bounty otherwise its

Just like in real life, these bad men who put out hit-orders do not always do so with their own name and picture attached. I bet most of the people using the anonymous bounties are the carebears next to you, risk aversity and stuff, you know. The evil gankers you so hate do not really need to be incognito, you hate them anyway. |

So while it may be care bears using disposable alts for bounties it is just as likely to be hi-sec gankers. Any Spelling, gramatical and literary errors made by me are included free of charge.

It's actually the most accurate definition you're likely to see.
