5. The fact that there is no snow in the pine forests
I've only found two of these so far, but both of them are snowy. So you may have found a different biome. One that has pine trees but no snow.
Those exist, by the way. In Arizona, there are lots of pine forests, and throughout the spring, summer and fall, they have no snow. Pine doesn't necessarily mean "arctic". Those are two different biomes - one is called "arctic" which has snow all year around, and the other is "alpine" which just means higher elevation and pine, but not necessarily snow.
I'm wondering if the OP even bothered to play the game much. For example, his point about Creative Mode rendering Survival pointless. That's kind of an idiot remark. The kind of remark you would make if you are unfamiliar with one or the other.
In creative mode you can't play the game. It's strictly an editor. You break blocks and they are gone. Nothing to put into your inventory. You add blocks directly from the object window, into your action bar where they are "infinite."
Creative mode is strictly for making things and editing the world. It's not a gameplay mode. Most of the things that make the game fun in Survival just don't work in Creative.
My guess is that you read about creative mode but did not try it. I've used it, but it certainly isn't a playing mode. And for me, a big part of this game is ACQUIRING your resources. So for me personally, it's no fun to just wave a wand and poof! I have ten thousand diamonds. Creative and Survival are two totally different things, and the presence of one doesn't render the other pointless.
Tell that to the people who still do mega projects in survival (I can't name names but I'm sure there are a good amount). Even before creative you had TMI and SPC for those people to make things like "big projects" without the need to collect resources. People still do that sort of thing in survival because they feel that it's more rewarding knowing that they built something "legitimately." I just see creative as a way for the not-as-fanatics to build more elaborate stuff without having to mod their game.
And yes I agree that "don't play it then" is a bad argument but it's technically still valid. It's just a really weak argument.
Edit* And to the OP, I honestly believe that probably half of these "complaints" wouldn't be here were they not pointed out to you by posts similar to these first.
I never use Creative. I use survival only, it gives me a sense of pride after I create massive contraptions using resources I gathered legitly.
What fun would it be in real life if you had an unlimited source of money, and could buy anything you wanted? Sure, at first it'd be pretty great... After a while, you'll get REALLY bored.

Someone has to be seriously drunk to get all of those conclusions, and even more to agree with him.
I live in the pacific north west. Just saying, I know first hand about pine forests.
then you of all people should know that in the lowland Pacific Northwest ( a coastal Rain forest at SEA LEVEL) it snows maybe 1% of the year (if you are lucky), yet the Pine forest COVERS this area. no snow to be found, plenty of RAIN forest.

Trying not to be too mean here but...
If you can come up with this many reasons why you hate this game then you are not really a true MineCraft fan.
As someone said previously, you can download an earlier version of the game or just stop playing. Way to be a quitter :/
1. I personally feel that it is better and more gender neutral than that annoying grunt we had before.
2. Many people find it boring. Personally, I like having my mountain kingdoms looking down on the surrounding lowlands like a god.
3. Personally, I never thought the music was amazing to begin with. Also, I don't think the music was removed. I can't find anything from official sources that says it was. Music is selected from a tracklist randomly and played at certain times from what I understand. If your favorite track is not coming up then you must be incredibly unlucky.
4. Tundras were always ugly...they're just bigger and less mountainous than they were. At least Taigas have snow again in the Weekly Snapshots.
5. Look at the Snapshots...They do now. If you previously generated a world in 1.0.0 then the next time it rains, it will snow in those areas. The ice will already be growing back.
6. Both have specific uses. Some people what to just build things with items/materials just given to them. That's the whole purpose of the Too Many Items mod if I'm not mistaken.
7. Besides villagers lacking AI, villages are fine at the moment. Yes, it is frustrating that they're unfinished (both villagers and, in my opinion, the villages) but who knows what is in store for them.
8. Dark Green <> Black. Swamps are dark green...not to hard to see in the default texture pack. However, the color isn't really the problem, but the transitions between swamps and all other biomes is.
9. Not a fact but a prediction. Facts are concreted and definite. Your prediction isn't.
10. Tall grass has been around since 1.6 which came out last May... Without it, there getting wheat and seeds would only be possible by finding an NPC village. I have to ask, is 1.5 your ideal version of Minecraft?
A music piece should not be a significant reason to play a game. That is one of the more asinine reason to play Minecraft that I've ever heard. Also, NPC villages aren't that much different. Yes, the lamp post is new and annoying since only one seem to be in any village but villages always seemed to have slightly different configurations between them on any one world.
Exactly. Most of TerribleTrivium's reasons are opinion based or illogical. While I feel sorry that he quit Minecraft for what I feel are trivial reasons, that doesn't mean I think he is not entitled to his opinion. I'm just confused as to what his reasoning/purpose was to create this thread.
Double shot taken... God this is a horrible game.
^Agreed with everything.
Seriously. This thread...-Sighs-

I wish these things would change.
Like really badly. But seriously, I miss the old minecraft. I wish mojang had added new things without changing old things. Imagine all the new features in a 1.5 type landscape! That would be amazing.
Lol bro, check out my signature. There are close to a million other players like us who agree the new terrain sucks.
I laughed, I honest to god laughed. How does creative mode render survival mode pointless? One mode is for people who like to build without gathering materials and that is it, the other mode if for people who like to fight mobs and build legitimate structures. By your logic that means inv-edit ruined minecraft. Now lets talk about tall grass, what is wrong with it? It provides a way to get seeds without using a hoe on grass blocks. It doesn't cause the game to lag, nor does it majorly change anything. One last thing, how can you arrogantly and in my opinion idiotically assume new changes will 'ruin' minecraft more? Especially when you consider that development has been turned over to Jeb! You are a completely illogical person, perhaps it's for the better you left.
Sure I hate a lot of the changes done to Minecraft, but I'm putting up with it anyway. I'm not going to stop playing Minecraft because of these changes, mainly due to the fact I started on September 8, 2010 in Alpha 1.0.17_04 because the earlier you started Minecraft, the more special it gets. It makes it even more special since I started Minecraft back then ahead of like 3 million or more poeple. It was over 500,000 poeple at the time. Now let me ask you this: Why are you complaining about wild grass? That is so OLD news! It's been in there far longer than the 1.8+ major changes done to Minecraft. If you want to stop playing Minecraft, then by ALL MEANS go ahead! Maybe that'll be 1 less baby whining on the forums about how Minecraft got ruined a lot in such a short period of time. I don't mean to sound rude at the end but I'm tired of these constant rants, and I'm sure everyone else is too.

I'm going to reply to each of these.
1. Agree
2. Agree, again.
3. Music is still there...
4. Somewhat agree, some terrain looks good, like deserts. Some looks bad, like swamps.
5. Yes there is in the new pre-release...
6. Well, survival is boring now that you have all the blocks anytime. But it's still good quick fun.
7. Yes, but they will be improved in time.
8. Agree
9. Well, Notch is gone. Jeb knows what he's doing.
10. Tall grass is annoying, but sheep can eat it now. But still annoying.
I find it amusing that most of the list pertains to how the game looks and sounds. Both of those things are important, but if they are your primary things for having fun, then I'm not sure if you've been playing the right game to begin with.
5. The fact that there is no snow in the pine forests

9. The fact that it's only going to get worse.
Well, I agree with 5-7-8-9. I really hate that it's hard to find snow. NPC villagers are pointless. They just walk about. I say that they should be more interactive! Have them fight monsters, or actually be intelligent! I hated the swamp update because it makes Minecraft look dreary, and I don't like the vines hanging from trees. They block my view. But I must admit that I like them since mushrooms are plentiful for food. And I don't think Minecraft will get worse, but it won't get better.
Remember! You can always just download another version online.

1. The new hurt sounds. It sounds like your being slapped by a bloody hand! I don't want to know how you know what that sounds like...
2. The 1.8 terrain generation. It totally makes minecraft boring. Yes, because all the fun of the game is exclusively in staring at terrain...
3. The absence of the old music. Not Old, but the super amazing stuff that is'nt there anymore. Your point contradicts itself. No further comment.
4. The super ugly redone tundra. They should't of changed it at all Snow to snow transition?
5. The fact that there is no snow in the pine forests I have seen snow on some pine trees before...
6. Creative mode. Now survival is pointless This statement has got to be the most ridiculous of all; Creative is for making HUGE projects without the hassle of installing mods or mortality; Survival is for those who just want to test their Minecraft skills out. Neither gamemode makes the other obsolete...
7. The fact that npc villages suck I don't see anything that village generate with that would allow them to "suck" on anything whatsoever.
8. The black swamps! Not being racist or anything, but seriously! The fact that you had to clarify makes you a racist.
9. The fact that it's only going to get worse. Define it. Seriously, I can just assume you're some emo kid because of this statement...
10. Tall grass. Only a foreshadowing of the horrors to come. SEEDS! FOR WHEAT!!! OH GAWD THEY'RE TERRIBLE!! I DON'T WANNA GO OUT THIS WAY----

I can agree with that, the tundra could use some texture changes as well, perhaps grass and tall grass could be paler, but not with rough borders.
