Cliche. I only see so-called non-carebears cussing the carebears in this thread.

With a couple misconceptions on the whole PVPer Vs Carebear relationship I figured I might as well try to clear some things up. I might get flamed. I might get applauded. I might get ignored, who knows.

Most PVPers think along the lines of "Why would anyone want to ONLY collect isk and be a carebear when PVP is soo much more exciting! I'll just never understand it, but w/e floats your boat". Though many carebears misinterpret this as "You'd have to be an idiot to not PVP" when this is clearly not the case.

When a PVPer refers to a carebear in the negative sense he usually means the type of person who gets up on his high horse thinking he's so much better then all these "stupid pirates". Not the every day "I'd rather not PVP, but I accept that as just another playstyle" Carebear.

Most PVPers will be friendly in local and even help other players avoid falling into the same trap again. However if you're the kind of carebear that gets up on his "high-horse" and start smacking of course the PVPer is going to smack back.

In the end most PVPers have nothing against a carebear as long as the carebear accepts that PVP and Piracy are just another way of playing the game. And most people on both sides will be very civil unless the other person starts to smack first. In general if you respect a PVPer's choice of playstyle, we'll respect yours.

Even worst, some carebears smack the pirate so much that manage to get the whole carebear corp wardeced.

Rule: If your corpmates prefer to fit mining lasers, thou shal not smack in local.

I'm going to use my tractor beam and force a Nanophoon out to mine me some bistot! Cuz I suck at mining, and need a PvPer to do it for me.

And to footnote this... I mine, I rat, I build, I pos, and I pew pew all the wannabes who are jealous of what I do. I shoot down stinkin' piewats. So, since I do both, what exactly am I? PvPer? or Carebear?

Well, for one, I've played 4+ years and I hear the same crap over and over... its been beat worse than a dead horse. The truth is how you define these terms... and in the end it boils down to people trying to find reason behind what others do... to me, there is no point in that. Its time to accept what we are and move on.

I do EVERYTHING this game has to offer, and that is what we should all like about it. We can do EVERYTHING, or we can do ONE thing. I'm sick and tired of ratting a belt and being called a 'carebear' when half the time I fight to protect my space and half the time I build to put out items/ships for my alliance. Just because a few turds in this game think they are so uberly above all of us simply because they try to shoot as many helpless souls as possible makes me ill. They try to come across as being the base of this game and they are far from it. They are just another role we all play, but instead they see how many of us can play fine and never have to shoot another player. While they choose to shoot people, they still are forced to PvE in some way to be successful. If they want a shooter game, go find something else.

So yes, I am upset at a community of immature a-holes. I don't care what you do, I've lived thru all your bull, and please deal with the choices you made. If you really despise how many here play, then leave. You sit and bark, almost never bite... and when you do, you just bite the hand that feeds ya. So get over yourself.
