1. Lightly derogatory term for an MMO player who avoids PVP combat, heavily preferring cooperative or solo PVE combat, chatting, or developing tradeskills/running quests. Depending on the game and the individual, this PVP avoidance can show up in several ways: by playing on strict non-PVP servers; by avoiding PVP areas or declining duels; or, by avoiding or condemning PVP players. Philosophically, they often cite unbalanced combat systems, overpowered guilds, ebayed characters, and ganking as reasons to prefer less aggressive play. The mindset can be self-sustaining in several ways: high-level "care bears" may have avatars that are tailored for PVE, not PVP; they may not network with skilled PVP players; or, they may morally refuse to learn aggressive PVP tactics. As an insult, the term applies less to players who merely prefer PVE to PVP and more to individuals who question the basic legitimacy of PVP or who greatly overreact to their avatars' deaths. Bear in mind that it is strictly incorrect to refer to the victims of heavy exploiters as Care Bears. Abbreviated CB. Compare with RPK, Player Killing/PK, PVP.
2. Adjective describing a strictly PVE server or game.

An MMORPG player that plays nothing but PvE content. Often feels entitled to PvP rewards and acheivements even if they have not participated in any PvP, but is opposed to PvP players earning raid gear through PvP activities. Spends countless hours on the forums trying to either ruin or completely eliminate PvP and its players from whatever game they happen to be playing. Has absolutely no idea that other players (with different tastes) exist as well. You are a "kiddie" if you don't agree with them.

Although a care bear may be quite an attractive individual, don't fuss over Ms. care bear too much. For unless you are the Reggie Bush or Dwayne Wade of the future, you stand no chance and the rejection WILL be painful (as many of us have experienced). Daddy's little girl is accustomed to getting what she wants, when she wants it; whether it be her crystalized sidekick (priced at around 3 grand) or her platinum visa used to purchase clothes and various accessories daily, while attending exclusive day-school "GA". Although a care bear, a CT heiress can act surprisingly "down to earth," "fun," and even "kind," if you offend her in the slightest way you will quickly become acquainted with the "spoiled" and "entitled" care bear, usually followed by a call to Daddy to get validation that of course "she is right and those around her are all wrong." However, care bear's constant need to please those around her, spares most from coming to know her manipulative and spoiled side. Although newly single after dating a close childhood friend, who was surprisingly not up to par with her usual NFL standards, care bear continues to receive all the pampering that she could possible desire whether it be from her personal driver (who trots care bear to her various appointments in nothing other than a Bentley), her family chef, the household team of maids (God forbid care bear ever does her own laundry!), and of course "Daddy," her number one fan who would lick her bedroom floors clean if...
