To answer the questions I assume you meant to ask and ignoring the blatant assertions without any proof, no. You really do appear to struggle with the written English language. There is nothing that I wrote which could possibly lead you to conclude I would hold an opinion other than that.

I know of your penchant for the 1v1 Incursus encounter  , but are you thinking of PVP as a matter of putting oneself in a situation where PVP is always an outcome? I think there is a difference between "carebear is someone who does not PVP" versus "carebear is someone who is entirely risk-averse". Bringing this up because I have seen PVPers who were very risk averse, so much that I once ran off a 5-man group because non of them wanted to be "the lossmail" in the encounter. I was dead meat, but their own fear of losing a ship saved my skin.

Same thing happened to me. Was in a Maelstrom going down to a trio of BC's. Tank was slowly failing, but I was about to take one of them with me, so the guy warped out. Soon as I turned my point and guns on one of the other guys, they both burned out of range and warped off, lol.

I had to "Like" the above post. It's literally the best response I could have hoped for. Keep fighting the good fight, Poetic. You totally don't look like a sad, pathetic troll.
edit: Poetic Stanziel wrote:You're deadweight for the Uni. You don't contribute anything to the teaching process. The Uni is just a security blankie for you.
This part is actually true; every bit of it. But, that's the beautiful thing about Eve University, isn't it? There aren't restrictive requirements about what you do in Eve University. Outside of war you can do what you want, when you want to do it and during war... well, you know, even after getting kicked from Eve Uni you beat that dead horse for months. And there's certainly no requirement to contribute to the teaching process, people choose to teach or not. Eve Uni is a lot of different things to a lot of different people, and its clear that it causes you deep butthurt that it's not your place to dictate to each and every member and Director how they should play the game and which Corp they should play the game with.
And, for the record, I am a very large and rotund Carebear and very proud of it. I just prefer to do my Carebearing outside of High sec. It's far more profitable that way.  |

I guess my definition of a carebear is somebody that doesn't pvp at all. That said, doing pve in hostile 0.0, wormholes or low sec IS pvping. You're just playing the role of the prey instead of the role of the hunter, but it's still pvp just the same. |

My definition of a Carebear is a little bit different, I suppose. Carebears fight, and fight hard to defend their home when it's attacked.
Every week, when Professor Coldheart attacks Care-a-Lot, what do Carebears do? They defend themselves with the most powerful weapon of all; the Carebear Stare. They don't back down or run away. They're there to keep Professor Coldheart from stopping the people on earth from caring. |

A carebear to me has never been someone who doesn't pvp. It's simply someone who gets butthurt when risk catches up to them or is extremely risk adverse. A trader who goes into lowsec and gets blown up and doesn't throw a hissy fit because he understands the nature of the game, that's not a carebear. FOTM Cane pilot who writes a lengthy post on mmorpg.com explaining how he's sick of having to run missions to replace his losses is a carebear. I don't care how badass his killboard is, he's no better than the suicide ganked miner who cries about having to replace his hulk. I'll present some examples in the form of quotes.
"I got scammed and tried to petition it but CCP said it was part of the game, I'm unsubbing until they become more noob friendly" CAREBEAR
"I got scammed for 200 million but it was my own fault, plus it was kinda cool to see the scam I got duped in make the news" NOT CAREBEAR
"I want to pvp, but I don't want to go to low/null" CAREBEAR
"I'm probably going to lose my Proteus tonight, eh, I'll go for it" NOT CAREBEAR
"Goons keep blowing up my ice miners, I'm going to unsub until this blows over." CAREBEAR
"I hope Goons try that **** again, I want to see if my tank can hold them until Concord gets to me this time." HOPELESS DREAMER and also NOT CAREBEAR |

I Love Boobies wrote:Hi, my name is I Love Boobies, and I am a Carebear. Should I feel guilty for being a Carebear? No more so than being a Prat, or the most effective PvPer in Eve Online, even a Scammer for what it's worth. Eve Online is a game that caters to all styles of play, so why should people care about how others play? It's actually quite humorous when people rush to the forums and declare people are playing the game wrong. Play the game how you see fit, don't worry about others and how they feel about your style of game play. The true Carebears are the ones who worry or complain about the play styles of others. Just play the game, have fun. 
Bewbies.. I like bewbies.
Oh right, carebears. They don't play EVE. I'm sure many have tried and moved on but true carebears simply can't be bothered with space MMO skill points.
EVE does have emoragers, been known to emorage myself a few times. Usually because I get a little too enthusiastic though. I'm sure that's the culprit most often. |

wiki dat This is a perfect example of a Carebear frame of mind.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to PVE but to exude such hostility for elements of the game you are not personally interested in like the above is what makes 'carebears' so detestable.

Personally, I'm risk-averse. But I don't unsubscribe or whine when someone pops my ship. I take full responsibility for whatever stuff may happen to my ship. I lose a Buzzard in null-sec doing recon? It's my fault for not fitting a good enough tank or forgetting to stuff an MWD on the ship to flee from bubbles. I lose a Raven while doing missions? It's my fault for not being careful enough. I lose an Orca during a mining operation? Tough luck, that happens to someone every day, I was just next in line for being shot.
If something happens to my ship, it's on my watch, and thus my responsibility. I'll just go get the ISK to buy a new ship and continue doing whatever it is I feel like doing. |

Being a "carebear" has nothing to do with whether or not you seek combat pvp experiences, and everything to do with whether or not you want the game to be changed in such a manner that you can opt out of any and all non-consensual player interaction.
If all pvp was removed from the game tomorrow, it would take but a short time for the "carebears" to start whining about undercutting on the market, having to compete with others for a limited amount of rocks in asteroid belts, et cetera. You don't see those whines right now because they have bigger issues to worry about (wars, ganking).
This is the true nature of the carebear. Unfortunately, first-world lifestyles have developed complacency and feelings of entitlement in many people (especially those who have the time and money to play MMOs). As such, these people make up a high percentage of games' player bases. We're part of a generation of victims; people have forgotten how to look out for their own safety because it's so much easier to blame society/the cops who are hardly budgeted for petty crimes. Just go look at the "burgled" letter that's been making the rounds, if you want an example of this. |

I PVP, well i blow up alot, still looking for tha elusive killmail. I Ninja and i indulge in running around lowsec and null.So im sure i'm not a carebear. However there are high sec 'elite' PVPers who are carebears (ie i have lots in my corp and am going to pick on you or newb baitiers to pad kill mails, etc) and if you live in entirly blue null how hard core are you really? I think the term carbear is used to discribe anyone who does not take risks or goes for the safe option. Theres nothing wrong with this, hell you pay your money and takes your choice. However next time you throw the term carebear around is your 10 man roam picking on one ship any different to a 30 ship incursion team or a level 4 mission runner? how much risk have you really taken when you blow up a tech 1 frigate with a Drake or Tech three strategic cruiser? Or are you killmailbear? Grinding killmails with no risk? |

Who has more issues? The guy who plays a PVP game for the PVP, or the guy who plays a PVP game to do nothing but make things for the people who do?
