No, you can't play without these elements. Why? It limits what you can do. Very skilled at Minecraft combat? Too bad, some guy grinded and now has better skills, despite being a newbie. Sick of RPGs and want some other game style? Well you can't if Minecraft becomes an RPG.
Want a suggestion? Don't make comments like these, or you may get flammed. Just continue playing, since you like RPG, afterall what matters if you have fun! :wink.gif:
********. If you're better at minecraft combat you don't need the skills to be as good as the newbie and thus invest your points in other areas, becoming better at something you find difficult or useful. How is that limiting? Surprise surprise, it isn't, you seem to say it is because *le gasp* how dare this new player not suck as badly as you did when you first started.

No , the other guy is actually right.
Lets see , server started 5 months ago
Newbie came into the server 2 months ago
You came into the server , just today
As most noobs do , they just kill people without reason , you just spawned , you look at the city , looks cool , yeah , yeaah... comes this guy with run speed +10 defence +10 , damage +10 and kills you in 2 hits.
And you keep re-spawning , they guy keeps killing you.

we call this a **** server don't we?
completely unrelated.
You shouldn't try to balance around the dicks, it ruins gameplay for everyone.
it's like copy protection, does it stop pirates, no, not at all, does it annoy someone who wants a backup of a dvd to bring with them on vacation? Yeah, who's being punished for what?
You have to balance around intended gameplay, and THEN deal with things that are unintended.

I love how this guy getting flamed when warning the person who make this thread that he may get flamed.
But seriously all of these features are appealing to a bigger audience, while only making a small number of people angry? I think there doing their job well. This is a sandbox RPG.... LIKE IT WAS INTENDED TO BE. They said they were adding RPG elements BEFORE the they were actually added.
"Very skilled at Minecraft combat? Too bad, some guy grinded and now has better skills, despite being a newbie.", This will only effect PVP Multiplayer, And even then what does it matter? He has alittle bit of an advantage.

At which point the skill system is **** regardless of extenuating circumstances, so it's a non-factor.
...How could adding more stuff change the genre of Minecraft? It will always be a sandbox game. As in you can do whatever the **** you want. Don't like it?
There's always that little "X" button on the upper right corner of the window, or red circle in the upper left corner if you're on a mac, that can fix that problem for you.

exactly. the new addition do absolutely nothing to change the game. i can do now everything i could have done in the previous versions. the only addition is more stuff to collect and build with. i dont have much experience with servers but the ones i have visited had special plug ins to protect the spawn and the nearest city. if its just a natural server than everyone should expect people to grief. its part of minecraft unfortunately.
RPG elements like those mentioned by a lot of people ( skills and such ) is a personal preference , and a lot of people dont like it , including notch , jeb , etc. , if they like it , i don thave nothing against it , but they could use mods or plugins for their server and play the way they want , nothing wrong with that.
But the vanilla game needs to stay balanced , im not saying it will ruin the game , i have RPG mods in my 1.8 , and as much as i love that kind of playing , it wont fit for minecraft , they have to think in a more general public , not only some people , that like RPGs , they have to make the game for everyone.
Notch adding RPG elements to the vanilla Minecraft game and having someone come up with an RPG nerf mod would certainly result in a more stable SMP server than a full-blown RPG mod being added to a Minecraft server.
As others have pointed out, these RPG elements only come into play on PvP SMP servers, and should easily be able to be disabled with the right server mod. It would be up to the server admin as to whether or not to disable the new gameplay elements on the server, and advertise the server as such.
Potions and Enchenting tables are fantesy not rpg.
but surely sir you cannot imply they are different things!
fantasy = rpg!
there's never been a role playing game based in SPACE!
there's never been a fantasy story that wasn't a role playing game!!

Really I still see the same old good fashion Minecraft I know. Minecraft can be considered a RPG Sandbox when using survival mode, and then pure Minecraft in Creative mode. Hardcore mode is just for sport really.
There is a lack of RPGs as is that are not dull or poorly made, I respect Mojang for adding "RPG" elements to Minecraft.

Curse Premiumthen do those things
is this stopping you?
Is there some building potion I'm missing?
a creativity potion maybe?
or judging by your post a brain potion you're in desperate need of?
No , the other guy is actually right.

Curse Premiumobviously, it'd be a MASSive fauilure, there's no way, the EFFECT on the company that tried to do something like this would be disastrous...
There is a lack of RPGs as is that are not dull or poorly made, I respect Mojang for adding "RPG" elements to Minecraft.
And could you imagine the FALLOUT behind other possible ideas like this
