Right, im still new to this game and yesterday I found myself doing missions in 0.4 sector (already not a carebear hehe). Anyhow, on one jump i found myself surrounded by wreckages and some pirates (who were in massive ships and i was in my cruiser Caracal).
So, I thought I'd message them and asked them if i could scavenge the bits they don't need (they take the meat and i take what's left). They said, "Sure go ahead". Not too comforting words, but I decided to take the gamble, and it paid off.
I quickly raised my funds from 400,000 ISK to 42 million ISK (neat eh)? I'm sure this doesn't make me a pirate... I'd prefer the term "Businessman".
Anyhow, a fair bit later these pirates split up, one is left on his own and he gets into a close fight with a passer by. Two more large ships warp in, and start blowing the hell out of him and all the small ships (ME!! and other newbies).
I thought... this is ironic, I was safer with the pirates guarding the gate...

Agreed, seems to me the bulk of people playing eve are carebears. These carebears seem to consider anyone who PVP's a pirate.
On a side note just cause you were missioning in a low sec system doesn't mean you aren't a carebear your self. Having lived in low sec for some time now I assure you there are plenty of carebears out here.

Im really impressed with your attitude cpt Mark. Im also surprised that the first lot of pirates didnt blow you to pieces! I know I would have hehe.
As said about, pirate and pirate hunter is one and the same effectivly. However ive never had as much fun as I have been since going below -5 sec, im now -9.5 and counting.

it would take a while but im init for the long term.
I guess there are 3 major kinds of pirate/pirate hunter, anyone feel free to add/correct.
Pirate - Shoots everyone, flashy or not. Pirate hunter - Shoots flash (no sec loss) Pretend pirate hunter - Shoots everyone but claims to be a pirate hunter, pirate in denial.

I'm anti-anti-pierat. I shoot anything flashy or that shoots at me and some that aren't flashy, but when they shoot they become flashy so i feel warm and fuzzy inside and i get to shoot a flashy and then there are the non-flashys that dont shoot back but they go FLASH when they explode in the muzzle flare of my autocannons so i still see a flash and sometimes a squishy squish....
ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG
I just shoot things. ------------

pirate != some random guy who salvaged wrecks
pirate = someone who attacks ships with the intention of profit. This can be either by ransom payments, loot from what drops from the ship, or salvage from the wreck. Most real pirates are outlaws (blinky red), because of game mechanics that punish them for their actions. However, being outlaw does not necessarily mean you're a pirate, and vice versa.
carebear = someone who calls anyone who activates their weapons in pvp "a pirate."
if you didn't shoot, you're not a pirate.

id say thats pretty close to the normal progression of a pirate in eve.
you start off saying, im just gonna hunt pirates. then you start shooting at everyone, but tell yourself you're still just hunting pirates, the others just got in the way, or maybe they're also pirates in disguise since they're in low sec.
then finally reality sets in and you accept that you yourself are in fact a pirate.
actually scratch that... you might not necessarily be a pirate (in fact you probably arent)... since a pirate is in it for profit, not just to get their pew pew jollies off.

yea, its always good to meet people who like seeing their own ships blow up.
its the people who like to see other people's ships blow up even more that give me pause though.

I like the -10 life not because I can shoot anything and everything, but because anything and everything can and will shoot me. For us lazy PVPers its nice to have the fights come to us instead of having to go hunt some poor unsuspecting soul down and kill him.
