I was playing Minecraft Pocket Edition last night, i played it for the first time with the new update, so i went on survival where i noticed that on "survival" you have limitless tools and some limitless blocks ? How is this survival? The whole point of survival is that you start with nothing, and that you have to get all your resources. Has anyone else noticed this? If so reply to form a discussion or +1 if you think that the survival mode on Pocket Edition should be exactly like regular Minecraft. Thanks.

They originally made the game as classic only, so it took a lot of editing to get this survival update, if we wanted the full edition now we would have to wait for at least 2 years for it too come out, phones and tablets are a lot different then a pc, so just wait for it man

The fact that it isn't the full game doesn't bother me, its the fact that "survival mode" allows you to start with limitless tools and some limitless blocks, i just don't see how that is survival.

There is no crafting and no proper interface in place for all these things... so naturally, instead of having everyone start with NO tools (since, you know, you CAN'T CRAFT THEM!), they gave everyone limitless tools and limitless items that can't normally be obtained.
Also, you are yet another person that can't seem to search and discover information on their own, read, or maybe have a little thought about things before posting. They are working to getting Survival as close as they feel comfortable with to the PC. It's just that, like the very PC version you point to, they are doing so by iterations... and MUCH MUCH FASTER, might I add (yes, I might).

If there is a choice to be made, there will always be snobbish brats for either side.
In fact, there are probably people calling each other fanboys for whether they agree or disagree with the above statement.

No i haven't read anything about Pocket Edition as of yet, that's why i came to the forum to seek out information from people that have a bit more insight into it than me.
I understand the tools as being unlimited, but it would be more like survival if they didn't give us the wool and other blocks that we would have to craft. I know it would be impossible to get those blocks then, but theres a reason for creative mode.

True, but next time please try to word it as you actually asking a question and wanting an answer to it instead of what seems like another post of "M:PE, Y U NO FULL MINECRAFT!?!".

So, you would rather have the current iteration of Survival to only be able to use: Dirt, Cobblestone, Sand, Gravel and Wood, basically? You can say "that's what Creative mode is for", but it isn't. Survival is more about being able to explore and survive then it is about having to gather materials. I mean, just ask all the people that were building towers of Iron and Diamonds in their Creative worlds hoping to take advantage of them when Survival came out what they prefer.
Really though, the infinite blocks aren't a big deal. Mostly mechanisms (doors, fences, torches), some basic and easy to gather blocks (planks and bricks), and then blocks that are purely cosmetic and serve no other purpose (wool). If they would have you be able to place infinite Obsidian blocks, Diamond blocks or things like that, then I might see the point of being a little annoyed.
In the current implementation, it makes a lot more sense to have those blocks be infinite for now, rather than cut the number of blocks down to 6 and make it more useless than Creative. If they were going to do that, might as well not release Survival yet at all.

I just don't understand why they would of put unlimited tools etc in it in the first place?

Exactly, couldn't put in better myself.
