PvP'ers need to lower their blood pressure

Alexia over at Punishment has this to say about "Carebears":

One of my pet hates are carebears. We're never going to get rid of them and I understand that, because new ones always come in as the old ones leave or grow out of it.

Carebears need to harden the -expletive- up. (sorry, I try to keep my blog PG)

One does not necessarily "grow" into PvP. Quite the contrary, most people dabble in PvP, because it's not generally profitable unless you're better than 90% of the people you run into. Also there is the implication that "Carebears" grow up. One could easily say, just as idiotically, that "PK's" eventually grow out of it unless they choose to remain stunted children, and be just as wrong as Alexia here. PvP vs PvE is a choice. I'll outline the "PERFECT, FULL-ON, NEVER A CAREBEAR ALLOWED"* server in a later post. Somehow I don't think the PvP'ers would even like it, but it's a mishmash of ideas I've had since UO.

Now to deal with the rest of the erroneous assumptions by Alexia:

This is Daniel. He owns a big, shiny, fancy f*cking battleship. But he doesn't know how to change his low slots to tank anything. Harden the f*ck up, Daniel.

This is Alexia judging a guy's ability to fit his ship. The guy may have only been playing the game for six months and may not understand how to do so, yet. Not only that, but maybe Daniel doesn't have to give a f*ck yet because Daniel is a PvE player and hasn't had to really learn tanking yet.

This is Petros, and he's too scared to enter lowsec. "Ohh, look at me, I'm combat intolerant." Why don't you try a gate camp and harden the f*ck up, Petros.

This is Petros, and he doesn't care to enter lowsec because he doesn't want to find a PC corp nor does he have the time to care about learning combat. To him, Eve is simply a way to blow off a couple of hours a week and relax. He might be a high-sec miner, ratter, or just a trader. The point being he doesn't want to invest the time to learn PvP. Lighten the f*ck up Alexia, not everyone wants to bother with low-sec.

This is Theresa. Her kitten has a psychiatrist because it cries every time a Hulk is attacked. How about this, Theresa. Dr Black Claw prescribes that you harden the f*ck up!

This one doesn't bother me too much, because who cares about someone with a 100m ISK ship? Then again, Dr. Inglix prescribes:



to Alexia. PvP'ers, yeesh, not everyone sees the game through your narrow little lenses. They think Carebears are intolerant? PvP'ers, apparently, are just as intolerant.

This is Mark. He doesn't approve of people swearing on blogs. Well how about you harden the f*ck up, Mark.

Personal preference. I don't objectively swear, but I don't find it too offensive. Then again Marky is allowed his opinion, and can enforce it on his blog. However is Marky is on a different person's blog he can deal with it or get a cup of the above, and not come back. Nobody makes you read a particular blog. Even Capsuleer let's you choose which blogs to update.

This is some fool with a stupid name I can't care to type. Learn how to come up with decent names, fool, and harden the f*ck up.

I used to call one of my characters (in a previous game) Huiztilopochtli. I did it so you wouldn't message me. The name was a big sign saying don't f*cking bother me. Unfortunately "friend's lists" and such make it too easy to "add" someone and then bother them. Now that's me, some people just like odd names. In this case take your own advice and harden the f*ck up Alexia.

This is Yellow Rose. She won't join in on fleet action without taking half a dozen smartbombs with her. Harden the f*ck up, Yellow!

This is her playstyle. Then again, I would not want to be in a fleet with her because last I knew, SB damage hit allies too. Then again I won't condemn her if her corpies will tolerate it. They're the ones that have to deal with her "tactics" and if they don't like it, they'll boot her out of fleet for a bad fit.

This is Jad. He spends an hour a day trading on the stock market. He's also a DJ at a local nightclub. So why don't you ha-ha-ha-h*rden the f*ck up, Jad.

Well if he's having fun, who the f*ck cares? Lighten the f*ck up Alexia, it's a game.

This is Bevat. He owns every Tech 2 ship you can buy, sleeps with his blasters, has over a thousand kills to his name, and once cut off his own arm for a dare. Fucking spot on Bevat!

Bevat is a moron. You don't see the military awarding soldiers that injure themselves on a stupid dare rendering them unfit for duty. Maybe Bevat should get some meds so he can last long enough to get another thousand kills.

So come on, carebears. Take your skirt off, cancel your manicure, grow a mustache, and harden the fuck up.

It's a game mate, drink some Guinness, put on some music, kick back, and lighten the f*ck up.

*perfect is relative here, it's full-on, no safe zone PvP, but I don't think the PvP'ers will like it too much.
