I've lived in 0.0 for over a year, i even made an Un-dictionary of terms that should stay in WoW, EQ, ect. PVP wasn't one of them because it really does fit. I consider myself a PVPer simply because there is no better term to differentiate someone from the carebears. Now PKing THAT doesn't apply in EVE, but PVP is used by myself and A LOT of other 0.0 dwellers simply because it fits well.

attention all idiots in the thread***
the term PVPer, PVE, PK, anti-PK, gank....this all predates wow and eve online. stop being stupid.
That doesn't mean those terms have a place in EVE. I never said WoW in particular, i mainly stressed from games that ARE NOT EVE.
Also saying "Attention all idiots in this thread" and thinking anyone is going to take you seriously after that is like eating more lead then anyone else to get into the book of world records and thinking that your ******idness is going to earn you respect. "Both newfound and preexisting"

Ultima Online came out in 1997- again the same terms where used...newbie was what "l337" people called noobs.
everquest came out in 1999- Mobs started to be used- and all of the same terms as above. newbie was transformed into newb....
eve is not special sorry
EVE may be another MMO, however the ground apon which many of those very things PKing in particular are different in EVE. The very definitions of many of those terms don't apply in EVE because the ground they stand on is completely different in EVE. Not nessissarily because the whole game is different.
edit: would just like to add on this thread is best supported/detailed by the thread directly above it. and together they make a mighty point.

That being said I'm astonished as to how narrow-minded some people can get. I really wish everyone in EVE would accept the fact that there are people who enjoy the game without blasting other player's ships into oblivion. You don't have to understand it, but it would be nice if you wouldn't treat that playstile as something inferior.
When you get it into your head that PVP is EVE on hard mode "which is a thrill to put ships on the line". Therefore there is going to be at least some elitism. Very few PVPers look at carebears and say "your an idiot for doing it" and that most are in fact saying "I just don't get why anyone would want to, it's not nearly as exciting". Just way too many carebears incorrectly interpret it as the first one.
Also some words simply don't have a place here. Although PVP in my opinion is not one of them.
