I disagree with your statement but I will not defend anything. IMOO I think Notch took a gamble with the 1.8/FRC stuff and it was a brave move that even he was not completely sure about. I think it was a major fumble tho and personally I think at the point the game is at release I probably would have ended up not buying it. I like others here enjoyed the game much more when it was halfway still challenging to find resources, and when bugs that were useful (like water elevators) made the game fun and innovative for finding solutions in interesting ways. The game feels strange now like its two different games mashed together trying to be both a sandbox game and an adventure game. I am all for adding an adventure mode and adding all the potions and **** into it but leave it out of survival. It really does make the game feel odd in a way, makes you ask yourself what exactly am I playing here.
You could also argue this over the sound changes that have been made. As I agree the sound for chests should have been changed some things that were iconic to MC like the bows was changed for no real reason and I think the game dies just a little bit more with that type of change. None of this of course is game breaking but I kinda feel like the 1.0 of this game is long in coming and short on deliverable. Seriously any game company or software company out there would tell you that the amount of work done in the game in the time allotted is severally lacking. Mod developers (that you so quickly dismiss) have been adding tremendous amounts of content to the game and even having to rewrite things from the ground up with patches and do this on there own with no staff in less then a week or two, where as mojang takes an entire year to add little to nothing, then a month before release change the whole premise of the game from sandbox survival to dumped in adventure stuff.
These are facts you cannot ignore and many you-tube commentators are dumbstruck in the ridiculousness of what was added. Yogscast actually believes that notch was trolling them with the ending of the game... Its the little things that have killed the game really not one big thing but I think the direction that the game took just months before release seam a bit like a betrayal to loyal fans of the game from its early development. A year ago I would have been sounding the trumpets and walking along with you defending notch and the difficulty that are coding but its been an entire year since beta was given out and what changed.... wolves, potions, enchanting, nether updates(not really that much here) and some bugfixes.
With everything that has changed in the game I am sorry to say that I will not be interested in any DLC for Minecraft and wont purchase anything else from Mojang. Sorry guys you droped the ball maybe you can fix it who knows maybe not but you dropped your cash-cow for a game that has already been made and no one really wants to play...Scrolls

No, we should be urging them to give up - to stop pulling a "Sony" and stop trying to reign it and us in - to just step back and support the inspired and talented mod builders who now give us any real advancements. Yeah, Mojang started it. Yeah, they're busy ruining it. Notch was lucky, not good. Get out of the way now. And if you must mess up the game, give us menu options to ignore crap we don't want.
What's the "we should be happy" crap? If we lived in the Dark Ages and one day went by when we didn't get ransacked by Vikings, yeah, that's reason to be happy. What is wrong with you sad sacks? Your self esteem is so low that whatever change happens, it's what you deserve?
What so many of you stodgy loyalists miss is this simple premise: let me play the MC I want to play. Give me the power. This isn't EQ or WOW - we don't have to all be playing the same game. This is single player or player hosted, so wtf? Give us full control! Let me pick how my arrow sounds and so on. Mods can't fix all of Notch's screw ups. That he and some of you can't grasp this simple premise....
That's like saying, COD: Black Op's should allow you to NoClip in Zombies because you tend to get trapped a lot. Your just asking for powers. Minecraft is how it is. Full Control nothing. Notch isn't going to sit there and make a custom menu to edit every single aspect of the game just so you can play it how you want. Go get SPC then.
