MJ everyone except you thinks carebear is offensive. I'm a pvper and I still think carebear is offensive

The fact that it's common has no bearing on its force. "Noob" is common and offensive. So (in a gaming context) is "gay"

If it's the typing that's the concern, just use PvEer which is shorter than carebear anyway
