Not too sure about this one... I like the sandbox effect of the game. But... Permadeath? Maybe that should be an option that you can toggle. Because I'd like to still be able to play the game without worrying about dying, well... permanently.

If anyone understands a Kid Lazer reference, feel free to add me!
Notch doesn't have any idea's of his own? He has 2 million people to please. He can't just go sword that kills any mob in 1 hit flat. It's hard pleasing 2 million people. He has to think of a idea that will open up to the majority of the public which can be very very very hard. Also He has nothing to do with Scrolls. He's not coding anything within it. There's still so many posts on this page to make a rant about but I don't have the time
Either you're in denial or you're completely oblivious to the existence of mods. All the content that will be added in 1.8 is in a mod in one form or another, or are incredibly basic features in many other games. NPC villages? Millenia Mod. Dual-wielding? Adventurecraft. Sprinting? Virtually any RPG or adventure game. Tell me one thing about 1.8 that is original. The same can be said about previous versions. Pistons? Piston mod.
And what does pleasing 2 million people have to do with originality? Senseless logic. You don't have to be original to please people. Especially when most of these people seem to have never played a game outside of Minecraft.
The modding community is where the credit should go to. They don't get paid yet they are doing a far better and more enthusiastic job than Notch and his team. 2 million copies of this game have been sold, and it's been a year since I bought this game. Little has changed. You'd think after selling that many copies and raking in that much $$$ (especially when no license or publication, or even advertisement fees are needed to be paid because Mojang is an Indie developer) that he'd invest some more resources into Minecraft development. But instead the resources are going into making that ridiculous card game.
Wrong again. Yes theres mods out there. But theres pretty much a mod that covers everything to think of. That's one of the good things about Notch in this update Isn't it? He's suppost to code into the game. Notch added moddding support by releasing the code. He didn't add full modding support he just let modding support. He adds something in the game everyone wants. It's not always about originality. Oh thats not original so let's not add it into the game. Fans don't care about how original it is they care about what it is. You don't come up with a brilliant idea and then say nah infact it's been heard before so we won't add it. Isn't that what everyone wants? Community idea's to come to life? If you think everything relies on how new and original something is then walk away from minecraft. It has original idea's but pretty much everything he adds has been covered in a suggestion or mod. Tell me 1 idea you have for minecraft that isn't daft and silly that you just came up on the spot not thinking about it's hp's drop's where it's found level of light spawn. Also pleasing 2 million people has nothing to do with originality I'm just saying if he adds something that doesn't intrest most of the community he can't add it in. He can't think of a idea then just add it in the game if the only thing he gets about that idea is No no no. Put yourself in Notch. You have to think of a idea that isn't in the suggestions forum or is a mod. If you think coming up with originality when half a million people everyday are coming up with idea's and posting them on the sugggestion forum or making a mod for it is easy?
Wall of text fail. Use paragraphs please.
Anyway, if you read what I typed then you would know I wasn't criticizing his lack of originality. I was criticizing YOUR suggestion that Notch is original. It was a response to your previous post that suggested Notch comes up with many ideas of his own. Now since you seem to admit he lacks originality, you've just contradicted your own previous post.
And when did I ever say fans cared about originality? In fact, if you read my post, I said the EXACT OPPOSITE. I also said the credit should go to the modding community. Maybe from that you can deduce that I think positively about the modding community? Or still confused?
So please, for the love of god, read my post before you respond to it.
I honestly would prefer if minecraft stayed a sandbox game, however, bosses do seem like a interesting idea. but how about a 'spider queen' or something aroung those lines?
The second quote you 'cherry picked' was not even directed at you. Those quotes aren't even part of the same post. If you thought I was criticizing his lack of originality, then you should have quoted that earlier, and I would have made a response to that. But you're post...

is a response to one of my posts that does NOT include any criticism of Notch's lack of originality.
It's obvious you are trying to 'engineer' my posts in an attempt to 'win'. But since you've even admitted that Notch lacks originality, I don't see why you're even continuing to argue this point. Why not address the other points that are still being contended? All you are doing is flogging a dead horse.
Besides, I don't see why you should be so upset the moment someone criticizes Notch or Minecraft. This place is not an altar of worship to idolize Notch. This place is a forum where people voice their opinions.

The previous sentence is false.

after he be in the game with no mods
And then for the insanity factor, Cthulhu would be...
MADE OF SPHERES
If you don't set any goals in minecraft you're not doing anything.
And that's just wrong.
