Depends on your definition of carebear.
There's the carebears that do industry and PvE, but accept that someone can and will ruin their day if they feel like it, and then there's the carebears that want complete immunity from other players, and in some cases NPCs to, while they do the same activities.

Some people don't distinguish between the two and call anybody that doesn't PvP a carebear, I'm in agreement with you though, the latter are the true carebears, and give the rest of us industry/PvE types in the former group a bad name.

Any carrier is to be terminated on sight with extreme prejudice lest the disease spreads. The future of serious gaming depends on it.

True. The problem lies with people who want to remove any kind of challenge, risk, and generally limit the ways players can interact with the environment and each other. Long live the sandbox! |

Who do you call carebear? I will pod you with my mighty battle prorator.
Carebears are those of your second definition. Players who want to turn EVE into what it isn't.

lol I know that, you know that, but people still call us industrious types carebear. I think we either need a new name, or to reclaim carebear.

Greetings
Moved this thread over here, in the chance that it was not an obvious troll, and that the discussion about industrialist getting out from beneath the carebear stigma is actually on the constructive side. Also it does not belong in New players channels. ISD Flidais Asagiri Lieutenant Community Communication Liaisons (CCLs) Interstellar Services Department |

I know of carebear gankers.
Basically people in NPC corps who gank miners in hi sec.
The irony! "Entitlement" is a euphemism for "I hate the way you play and it makes me cry like a baby". If you fantasize about being immoral it means you enjoy being immoral deep down. |

It's not like the miners are going to wardec them anyway, what does it matter that they're in NPC corps, so are the majority of their victims.

Join their corporations, steal everything they give you roles for & kill as many of their dudes as possible. After this you fit a cloak & sit in a safe spot. Refuse to dock up until they pay you 500million isk. Apparently booking your flight & accomodation to Iceland BEFORE you buy the tickets for the convention which is pretty much the only reason you wanted to go there in the first place is popular. |

I'd say stay clear of them, you'll end up wth 50k+ blues living in a fantasy world thinking you're all about pvp.

A care-bear, is someone who does not let you gank them as easily and as often as you feel you should be able to. This is not a signature. |

Not to be confused with null-bears, carebears sit in empire and whine alot about how the game is unfair, and wanting CCP to make their mining barges ungankable while complaining about the price of building stuff is too high, and waah I can't make enough isk.
Null-bears are different, they have plenty of isk, lots of 'blue' (not the colour, but the standing between corps, blue = good) friends, huge potential of making isk depending on where they live, intel channels to let them know that hostiles are in the area etc, yet look down at the empire scrubs
It's an over-used term for anyone who doesn't choose to go down the Player Ship vs Player Ship route, used by people who want people to play the game the same way they want to.
Yes there is a sense of entitlement on all sides, the industrialists want to be left in peace to do what they want to do, and the PvP'ers want big fat juicy targets to shoot so they choose carebears to gank etc.
But since this is probably a troll post, who cares |

This, I also know a corp that exclusively sit in 0.4 and call themselves Hardcore PVPers, spending there days killing low skill players doing L1 and L2 security missions and miners, and camping the station they RENT an office in killing people after they have purchased their goods ......
The definition of carebear to me is your common playground bully, that thinks they are clever doing the above activities yet never venturing into REAL dangerous, and competitive zones.

Carebearing is what every single self-appointed PvP god devotes all his other accounts to.
Also, carebears are those whose wallets sport twenty figures, I think.
And if I'm not mistaken, people joins big Alliances to be able to carebear in peace against big fat rats and Arkonor rocks the size of al olympic stadium in exchange for periodically joining a fleet of lemmings, locate a face in Local at a stranger's command and press F1. |
