I would like to thank you personally that you release massive changes early so we can test, and i know that there are some whingey people that are disappointed.. well it's just too bad for them :biggrin.gif:
I think i speak for most of the mature, 13+ community, when i say that you are great developers, keep on going as such beasts and plow those bugs and add or remove anything you think will improve the game. Don't be repulsed by some of the children that stopped the endermen from carrying blocks (:C) etc.
I also think that releasing 1.9 really early might help get bugs, but some people still want it late, such as friends of mine. IMHO I think that you should decide w/e not 100% based on your fan-population, dont get me wrong, but it seems that people are always disappointed and want something changed...
That jump thing? I didn't like it because certain hand-harming reasons, but i am not gonna make a thread about it to whine! I can just adapt and maybe get a mod :biggrin.gif: (I saw that Notch put it back).
So on account of all the things that are great, i.e. Minecraft, Thanks for letting us join you in the beta testing, thanks for being good developers and don't back down because of such depressed people who want everything changed! :biggrin.gif:
Thank you Notch, Jeb_, Mollstam, Jakob, and everyone else that is in Mojang!
I will start this way. In something I can perhaps relate to. I am an artist and as an artist I find constructive criticism useful. It allows me to improve my work, especially if I am given examples as to how I can fix it. Often times Constructive criticism comes from other artists, they are usually quite willing to help. “if you were to shade it in this manner, you might get the effect you were after.... (describes manner in which to shade)”
Then you get destructive criticism. Destructive is very unsettling and upsetting to an artist. Art is a medium that is extremely subjective. Some people will like it and some people will not. There are neutral groups. I have seen artists with potential give it up over a few extremely rude and heart shattering comments. “Wow, my dog draws better than you can.” or something to that effect. Not everyone is a Rembrandt and they need to learn through trial, error and guidance.
You can get useless criticism. It's usually dished out under the name of constructive. I have occasionally pointed out in some art “I'm not happy with my perspective” and have it written in my description of the piece only to have some numb skull cheerfully point out the perspective is off. It would have been better had they given me some idea as to how to fix it.

Instead of finding problems and whining about them, lets find solutions!
"Hey, notch! That cow thing sucks" - Useless
"Hey, notch! You can improve the cow by making it smaller and so it can be more agile" - Constructive, well mannered and points a solution to the problem.
Lets all try to point out solutions, either by code:
Hey notch, i think that:
main text(String[] args){
cow.Moon.Blerg(Kill.Contact)}
Will be better if it is
main text(String[] args){
cow.Moon.Blerg(ReduceHealth.Contact){
health--;
}}
Or by description:
Notch, i think that the cow will be more balanced if it just reduces the player's hp on contact, and not killing him.
Yes, thank you Mojang for all your hard work and for creating an excellent game! But I am not thanking them for making me move my builds to a new world again so soon! :tongue.gif:
It's just that some people aren't thankful for what they have got... Some want the new iPhone, then they say its crap or w/e. Some want MC 1.9 but then complain about stuff... it is really disappointing that they have stopped so low :C

(p.s., how do you pronounce 'Mojang'? 'Moyang' or 'Mogang'?)
Superb post.
Good to see that there are SOME grown-up individuals around here that can post things other than whine topics.
I agree with you completely.
I'm definitely thankful to everyone at Mojang for creating one of my favorite games of all time... and then constantly updating it, when technically they NEVER HAD TO.
Cant wait to see what comes next.
Also, I thought this update was pretty great. I love the snow golems. Alot of potential for hilarious anti-mob use with those guys. I already had them save me from unexpected creeper attacks a couple of times.

Wow really? Hehe, thanks :biggrin.gif:
It's just the truth, and nothing but the truth.. I think we are all too old for their crap.
