Just a point of clarification. A Carebear is so named due to the friendly and non-competative nature of the cartoon show it derives from. Being a Carebear means you are more interested in cooperative gameplay and avoiding interpersonal conflict (mainly Player vs Player).
It has nothing to do with farming, big guilds, childish actions (no one side has a monopoly on that), or wanting free lewt. PVE servers are called Carebear servers for the same reason. Carebear is all about PVP. You will even see hardcore PVP players calling PVE players who like Battlegrounds Carebears, because in their eyes only open world PVP counts.
