You like your world(s) so much it seems because whenever a bug is fixed that people relied on, there comes whining... and a lot of it. When leaf decay was fixed and when boosters were fixed, there was whining for example. Well... did you honestly expect Mojang to leave bugs in forever? No, that would just be silly and there is a reason why it is a bug and not a feature. Yes bugs can be fun, but you should realize that they can not be relied upon to be there in the future. Although out of Alpha it has been for a while, Beta is still a development stage with bugs... so is it not reasonable to assume that said bugs will come and go?
buut gauyz, I doont' c hoaw cart boooster were a glitch. I walks aruond and bloacks are toatly floating and stuff so I thinks minecarft physics are just weeird ok?
Floating blocks, justification that minecraft has "weird physics" and therefore everything "glitchy" is therefore a "feature".
Except when bugs such as the boat elevator and the booster tracks for minecarts become so widely used to the point of no longer being a "bug" but more of a "feature," then it's perfectly acceptable to whine about it. 90% of the minecraft community used those bugs. Fixing them seems pretty pointless.
Especially when bugs, like those mentioned above, don't get fixed for a very long time.
I understand where you're coming from, I just think you need to understand where we're coming from. It's not your normal "boohoo" whining, it's more of a "We loved that!" whining.

Well, boat elevator was one example. I made a boat elevator with pistos 100% glitch free but Notch nerfed the boat floating and its useles now. When he said "im going to nef and will work" we didnt tought he would do what he did. You have to admit that they are always changing the water behavior and everytime, in my humble opionion acts more weird.
If you come saying "we want the game as realistic as we can" thats not 100% truth because now you can stand next to lava without burning... like wth ? Stand next to your fireplace and you can feel the heat without sitting over or too next of it, imagine with lava... and cactus? stick on a cactus and you will se what happens... realistic ? i dont think so, but remember its just my humble opinion...
My point is that some things like the boat floating was more like a feature than a bug but they considered a bug nd nerfed it... Im not talking that they taking long time to fix it and then its like a feature, i mean some things doesnt seem to be that buggy...
Just remember im not critizing Notch for what he did, he is improving the game on every update and im happy because of that and im not whining either, i just exposing my humble point of view
The only difference between these things being considered a "bug" or a "feature" is whether or not they become officially implemented.
The feature of powered rails would never have come without the unexpected discovery of minecrat boosters. Before that, we used the feature of so-called "powered minecarts" which were cumbersome and didn't work as intended anyhow.
Do you seriously expect me to believe that there were people who relied on them for rail transportation?
And those of you championing the cause of squashing emergent gameplay in a sandbox game don't understand the whole idea behind such games. Notch forbid we encourage inventiveness or innovation.
Basically, the real problem players are the ones who expect that everyone else should have to play the game their way. The real whiners are the ones who aren't happy if someone else is doing something they don't. To them, anything they don't want to do is "cheating" and anything they can't figure out or overcome on their own is a "bug".
Yes, it's Notch's game and he has every right to do it his way - but let's not make imagination and innovation into some kind of criminal behavior, shall we?
As of before the powered booster update, there was no way of making a minecart accelerate unless using slopes, like a hill zigzag formation, to go up down up down to keep it at a steady speed.
The other way was to use the glitch boosters, so that you can make an efficient, straight, subway station. At that time, glitch boosters were the most efficient way to make a subway station or an automatic railtrack.
Same with water elevators. When you have tall buildings you can easily go up and down quickly using water elevators.
So although I was dissapointed when I heard the glitches were gone, I have already started retrofitting my stations with the newer 'feature' powered booster.
But you can't scold people for using their imagination and use their surroundings to make a more efficient design.

I'm building Manhattan (Phase 1 complete)Check it out!
enough of these threads, i havent heard of anyone mentioning this again until now. I personally think that its perfectly okay for people to use glitches while they last, as long as they dont complain. I havent seen a single complaint thread in over a week. You are just bringing this back up. Stop it.
I am so sick of these threads. Glitch boosters were a legitimate strategy once upon a time, but they are gone now. Stop bitching about people bitching about something that doesn't even affect you. If you haven't been playing for more than three months you don't even have the right to comment on them as far as I'm concerned. Back in the day there was no other way to make a useful minecart system.
Now, now, Unit>>Zero, we must accept that we are all BAD BAD people for wanting our minecart systems to actually be useful before 1.5, and we should hang our heads in shame for the crime of finding a way to make minecarts work in spite of Notch not figuring out how until now.
We are guilty of the crime of enjoying the game while all these miserable hairshirts walked everywhere.

"Don't know why you should feel that there's something to learn... it's just a game that you play."
They are right to fear!

People who whine about it shouldn't even play this game as well. It's in BETA for God's sake.
