Who else is mad that people(rich people) get "Capes" for going to minecon. it pisses me off that they do because some people or most cant afford to go to the Convention or spend over a $100. I mean come on notch seriously. and to all the Trolls out there dont Troll this comment because im complaining. Cause im pretty sure your upset or a little mad that you cant afford to go to minecon also. oh and the custom Minecraft Xbox...yea that pisses me off too because i would love to win that oh wait i cant and most minecrafters CAN'T. Why you may ask oh yeah i know why, because you can only win it at MINECON you know the rich people convention as i think it should be named. So yeah i just wanted to know who else is mad/upset/pissed/disappointed/pissedx2
i was bugged by this to when i first saw the minecraft xbox i said im so buying this but then i read the whole thing to find out you have to go to minecon and odds are this will be the first and last one as when minecraft fully comes there will only be a few updates to it.
WoW! A CAPE! im so pissed i dont have one... i dont care that i dont get a cape. the people who are going to minecon arent rich, they just have a passion for a game and 90 something dollars (i think thats the price) The xbox is sexy, but i dont care if i get it or not.
To put it in short, i really dont care that people going to minecon get stuff. They payed to go, they get rewards. whats wrong with that?
They should have smaller minecons in other places *cough* new york
Cry me a river
Punch a tree for wood
Build a bridge and get over it
I *almost* kid. Honestly, for the cape, download the cape mod, and change it so its the Minecon cape. For the xbox, just wait until it ends up on Ebay/people start making custom 360 shells if you care so much. Now, yes, there were much better and cheaper locations to do this, but crying isn't going to change it. And if you can't spend more than $100, you have bigger problems than not being able to go to a gaming convention.
It's not that much of a deal.
People who go to Minecon don't go to Minecon for the capes. They go there to sponsor Minecraft, get their fake diamonds signed by Notch, etc. The capes are sort-of like T-Shirts. Let's say rather than capes you get a T-Shirt that says "I WENT TO MINECRAFT" and it's disigned like a minecon cape.
No difference.
And not only rich people go to Minecon. Famous people over the internet you see going are not rich, even if they sell T-Shirts. Example: UberHaxorNova IS going to go, yet he STILL does not have the money as him and the other "creatures" said over Creature talk.
And the only way to get Minecraft portable or Minecraft for Xbox isn't ONLY going to Minecon, they are just getting it EARLY. It's coming for Xbox after the full minecraft comes out. And only a few people at minecon will win Minecraft for Xbox, probably by a raffle or something.
I'm not trolling you, I'm speaking the truth.
And Minecon isn't just over $100, it costs about $400 per person for a ticket to Vegas, $300 per night at the hotel at Minecon, and about $200 to even get into minecon. In all, it's about $1,000. But it doesn't matter if you're rich or not, rich means you live in a mansion, have a sports car, etc. People going to minecon probably just have a normal car, live in a large two-story house, and have a good job.
Don't complain about the location; Mojang is a swedish company. If they wanted minecon to be in a convenient place for them, they wouldn't have it where it is.
Sounds like you need to start an Occupy MineStreet protest. You already have the noncoherent argument, all you need is a bunch of people who are angry for completely different reasons!
But in all seriousness, do you get angry at people because they spend their money how they want? Do you get angry at a store because someone paid money for one of their cookies, and you want a cookie for free? Hopefully not, because that would mean you're insane.
1. Capes go on your skin.
2. They don't give you any special abilities.
3. They aren't rich, its called a job.
4. Notch is bawsh
5. Profit
6. Get hate replys
Really? You're pissed? About the fact that you can't get a job? Well, this is probably because you're under age, and if you're under age what are your expectations of going to MineCon? Mommy, I want to go to Las Vegas. No. That isn't how it works. Why don't you just be quiet, and be happy that you don't have this permanent bloody creeper mess cape following you around on MineCraft for the next ever. If you really cared about having that cape, which to be frank, is really ugly, you should just buy some tickets. Because what you're doing right now isn't going to change anything.
If you think that the people going to MineCon are just wealthy snobs, then you're comepletely wrong, they are people who enjoy the game MineCraft and would like to meet up with thousands of other MineCraft loving people. These people have jobs. Most of these people have families of their own, it's called being a grown-up who likes to play games, and has money to go on trips. This doesn't make you rich, this makes you passionate.
Also, if you say that you'd like a MineCraft themed Xbox, why don't you just have the patience to wait a couple months and buy one off eBay, everyone is going to sell them, anyways.
If what you truly want is for all the materials, then why don't you go spend a day's pay and head off to MineCon, if you live in the area, it's even cheaper.
I don't understand why people are complaining about the cape, that's the whole point of the cape, you get it if you go. Why would you want the cape if you didn't even go? Then you look at it and say; "this means nothing."
The whole point of it, is that the people who did go, can show it off. If Notch gave it to everyone then what's the point?
i agree they should have one in philadelphia, like im gonna spend 100$ for a ticket to minecon and then an extra 1000$ for flight and 2000$ for hotel and so on just to celebrate a game i bought for 20$...
Ok fine then people dont have to be rich to go but some people cant go because they dont have time because they are working hard to support a family or something along that or they cant go because they you know have a job that requires them to be there the day there supposed to be and be there on time.
And i know capes arnt too great but it would still be cool to get the 360 and like one of these comments said.
"All PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT MINECRAFT SHOULD GET THERE NAME ENTERED!" see and i know that thats a 1/almost 4mil. chance on winning but honestly it would make some people happy to know that they had a chance to win it. And honestly i think that poeple who made a big dent in the minecraft community or people that help with the game should get a cape. for Instance the yogscast they had a huge dent on the community. Minecraft chick got a cape for helping notch a month later 30k people who go to minecon get a capeand now all of a sudden her cape is not special anymore its just the same old thing.
I don't really care that the minecon people are getting capes because I wouldn't want a fixed cape I can't customize. I have no use for it, mostly because there are much more fitting capes for my skin (and interestingly enough, the character I drew my skin from actually wears a cape, heh)
No but seriously. Minecon registration was announced August 10th and opened August 11th. To be perfectly fair, if your a big enough fan you would've had 76 days to save up. 76 days! That's alot of time.
Also, Minecon isn't about the capes. It's about walking around and meeting other porkchop lovers. Other redstoners and most importantly. It's about getting everyone who loves Minecraft into one big room and seeing what happens. My guess is alot of building.

Well, I see what you mean here. But still. It's more of a way of showing that you went above and beyond to help further the community and game. As for the Xbox360. I think its more of a way to get people hyped up about minecon. It's a shame you can't get it but what can you do..
I'm Ma...Pissed
Like one in Philly
another in oregon
And so on.
It makes you sound materialistic if you gripe and moan over the fact that it costs money.
1- Finish the mod API
2- Give brains to villagers (make em more usefull)
3- Add ambiance: birds, fishes, bugs, crabs on beaches, monkeys in jungles...
4- More plants! Aquatic, any fruit tree, bushes....
5- Ambiant sounds!
