When you have a large sum of gold, particularly in D & D, but are still scared of losing gear.

Players with gear fear may spend a majority of their time scamming other players and "flipping" in the trade channels rather than playing the game.
I have 65k gold, but won't play ranked "high-roller" mode. Would rather kill noobs in normal mode, so my gear will stay safe! Don't you know I have a severe case of gear fear...

The feeling one experiences when they are scared to lose their gear in Escape from Tarkov, usually due to not having a lot of money in-game and having little to no experience in PvP situations.
Jake has crippling gear fear, he would rather sit in a bush or run away from fights than risk losing his stuff. How sad!

JawshPawshTV isn't scared to lose his gear. He has no Gear Fear. His wiener is fucking huge. Kilowhiskey_ is a huge bitch though, and is terrified if losing his gear.
